The lady in question, of course, being Elizabeth Stiles - the Bedfordshire-based,...

April 15, 2020 06:50 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MBHaving worked at a deli during every holiday as a student, I have a whole lot of respect for anyone that decides to launch a cafe and even more respect for anyone that decides to launch two (and make both work simultaneously, that is!). It can't come as a surprise therefore, that as the Founder of Wild Thing - the popular plant-based cafes in Cardiff with social goals - Lauren Saunders is a bit of a legend in my eyes!

April 08, 2020 06:42 - 21 minutes - 19.9 MBIf the coronavirus outbreak and its impact on businesses in recent weeks has reinforced anything for me, it's that resilience and grit are key if you're going to survive in business and over the past few weeks, even though I already knew she possessed those qualities in abundance, Rosie has proved herself to be one of the strongest women I know... As the Founder of two PR-based businesses, LFA and PR Dispatch (I'll leave Rosie to explain the difference between the two on this recording), i...

April 07, 2020 06:36 - 22 minutes - 21 MBI've had a few messages since this series started from those of you who physically aren't able to access your business at present. Be it that you own a salon or a restaurant or a spa that's been forced to close, sometimes it really isn't as simple as, 'just focus on your digital offering' when your company's existence relies solely on engaging with the public face-to-face. With that in mind, given that I've watched in awe on social media at how today's guest has handled the past few weeks, ...
Episode 11 - We can. We will. with Sophie Tea, Founder of SOPHIE TEA ART
April 06, 2020 06:41 - 17 minutes - 16.3 MBFor someone with a schedule as jam-packed as Sophie's is (spend two minutes scrolling through her Instagram feed and you'll see what I mean), Sophie is and always has been so generous with her time and advice - something that makes the wave of success that she's riding at present, all the more well-deserved in my opinion. So I don't know why I was surprised when I received a DM on the back of announcing this new series last fortnight, saying, in true Sophie style, "babes, I'll do one!" Havi...

April 02, 2020 06:43 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MBWith so many brands experiencing understandable drops in wholesale orders at present as well as (again understandable) disruption when dealing with delivery companies in recent weeks, I wanted to find out what impact the coronavirus has had on the duo behind one of my favourite snack brands, who I know from previous conversations with the pair, rely heavily on both. On Monday afternoon therefore, I had a Zoom call with the award-winning sisters that are Gracie and Sophie Tyrrell, Co-Foun...
Episode 8 - We can. We will. with Kassi Emadi, Founder of NUDDY
April 01, 2020 06:44 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBIf any of you have popped to the shops in recent weeks, I have no doubt that if you're supermarkets are anything like mine (!) you would have struggled to get your hands on those all-important cleaning products that pre-corona were simply part and parcel of your bog standard shop.

As the Non-Executive Director for Investors in Peo...

She did. - Midweek Mingle on the 11th March (which let's face it, feels like a short lifetime ago now doesn't it?!), I thought she'd be the perfect Founder to hear from this morning to ensure that we all try and get this week off to as positive a start as possible. "Why so?" I hear you ask..! Because on the night of London's Midweek Mingle, I remember admiring her calm delivery and the ...

March 27, 2020 07:45 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MBWhere do I start with how much I admire the legendary lady that is Kate Halfpenny!? From her impeccable taste in glasses (I have serious frame envy!) to her simply exquisite wedding dress designs and as of a few months ago, bridesmaids attire too, I've admired everything that Kate has created in Halfpenny London from pretty much day one of launching She can.
