Marriott Communications’ CEO, Samuel Marriott-Dowding, launches Uncut Podcast
At Marriott Communications, we have always believed that the most powerful stories are the ones told with honesty, vulnerability, and purpose. Today, we’re proud to launch a new platform for those stories: our podcast, Uncut.
Hosted by our CEO, Samuel Marriott-Dowding, Uncut is a space for raw, unfiltered conversations with founders, creatives, and everyday people who’ve built something brave or are doing something bold. It’s not about the glossy highlight reels - it’s about the messy middle: identity, visibility, growth, and the courage it takes to stay true to your vision.
Episode One: In Conversation with Jay George
For our debut episode, Samuel sits down with Jay George, founder of Beyond the Boy, a fashion label rooted in self-expression and storytelling.
Few voices resonate with the kind of emotional clarity and quiet rebellion that Jay brings. In this episode, Jay shares the origins of Beyond the Boy, the healing power of fashion, and the challenges of balancing creativity with commerce. From finding your voice when the world tells you to shrink, to resisting pressure to water down his vision, Jay opens up about building a brand that is more than aesthetics - it’s therapy, rebellion, and celebration stitched into fabric.
Why Uncut?
The conversations we have at Marriott Communications always return to the same theme: stories matter. Yet, stories aren’t always neat, polished, or easy. With Uncut, we’re taking that ethos further - creating a platform where honesty leads and where authenticity isn’t optional, it’s essential.
Each episode will spotlight a new voice: founders, makers, creatives, and visionaries. Some names you may know, others you’ll be meeting for the first time. All will share one thing in common - the bravery to build something that matters.
Listen now, here.
Your thoughts mean the world, and if this episode hits home, please share it with someone chasing a dream of their own.
Here’s to going beyond the surface, together.
