This week in a podcast twist, the interviewer becomes the interviewee! That’s right, I’m interviewed by guest host and best friend Jessica Wright. In this episode, I talk about my corporate career and how I started my business Let's Be Frank. We discuss the financial decisions and implications of becoming self-employed. I talk about the “taboo” of leaving a business that I loved and why that made me feel like a failure. And finally, I talk about the importance of women’s impact in business and how that can lead to a more sustainable and less exploitative business generation. We end with some surprise quick fire questions… a new segment which could be a keeper! Jess asks me my podcast rules, who my ideal business co-founder is (Audrey Gelman, obvs) and if I’d interview a man on Women On Top… Enjoy!
