Sian Clifford is one of the most recognised faces in television today, thanks to her role as Claire in the hit Phoebe Waller-Bridge comedy-drama Fleabag, a role which has earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy.   And if that wasn't keeping her busy enough, she's also the founder of digital wellness and meditation platform Still Space!   Starling and Sian met up to discuss acting, struggling to get a big break, what to do when it all gets too quiet, or too busy... And coping strategies for daily life and success.   This episode was recorded live in front of an audience at Soho House, Soho Works on October 26th 2019.   Starling's World is a podcast about making it in the creative industries. Every two weeks, rising star Starling interviews a creative industry professional at the top of their game, from songwriters to film makers, producers, managers and agents, right up to major label execs.

Creativity is a bitch: it creeps up on you in the bath, it’s not there when you plan for it and the path to success is as clear as trying to find your tent in a festival site. With no torch. Pop singer Starling has created a podcast interviewing top industry creatives including Bjork producer Damian Taylor, Former Head of Specialist Factual at C4 David Glover (he created Gogglebox), and many more. 

The aim? To help people aspiring to make it in the creative industries by learning from the experts: What makes them tick, how they got to the top of one of the world's toughest industries, their mistakes, triumphs, and the moments that made them who they are.
