    Super Helpful Advice
    I appreciate that the podcast gives a wide range of business advice on different types of business. I like that it doesn’t focus on just one topic, it ranges from interior design to festivals, and is always entertaining to hear.

    This is a podcast for those starting out in business or for those looking for extra advice on how to grow and existing businesses. found Jess Ratty very interesting when discussing the impact of Covid on her business and how she recruited and grew the business during a really tough time for the hospitality industry!

    Really interesting start-up stories and great advice for aspiring entrepreneurs! Relaxed a a insightful conversations.
  • Melissa TR
    Insight at the start! Awesome!
    I loved Episode 2, listening to the founder of Made while I was sitting in a Made chair... kind of fun! Julien was so insightful and I feel like he didn't hold back. I even heard a few things that surprised me about starting a business and I'm glad I know now rather than learn the hard way!
