    05. Learn To Walk Before You Run: Julie Hirsch

    In a world of self-promotion, instant gratification, and social media, it’s easy to get caught up in someone else’s definition of success and rush to meet them.

In this episode, we’re joined by Julie Hirsch, Co-Founder and COO of Eloments – the world’s first all natural vitamin tea. Taking inspiration from the Chinese proverb ‘Learn to Walk Before You Run’ or 一 口 吃 不 成 胖 子, we explore the importance of grasping the basic skills of business and your industry before attempting something more difficult.

    03. One Only Learns From One’s Mistakes: Sarah Agboola

    Fact: No one is immune to making mistakes – we are human, after all! But if we simply apologise and carry on as before, we're in danger of repeating the same errors. When we don't learn from our mistakes, we inflict unnecessary stress on ourselves and on others, and we risk losing people's confidence and trust in us.  In this episode, we’re joined by Sarah Agboola Founder and CEO of mtime, a business dedicated to giving busy families their time back by matching them with family assistants. We explore decisions gone wrong, taking inspiration from the Chinese proverb ‘One Only Learns From One’s Mistakes' or 吃 一 堑, 长 一 智.

    02. Teach A Person To Fish: Ali Terai

    01. Dig The Well Before You Are Thirsty: Maeva Heim

    When it comes to building a business or a passion project, one of the hardest hurdles to clear is knowing when, and how to start. We freeze, falter, and question our way, and it’s easy to let the fear take over.  To demystify this process, we are joined by Maeva Heim, Founder of Bread Beauty Supply who makes staple products for every coily, afro, and curly-haired humans'​ haircare wardrobe. Taking inspiration from the Chinese proverb ‘Dig the Well Before You Are Thirsty’ or 未  雨  绸  缪, in this first episode we talk about how to start digging, door knocking, and self-motivating; building your idea into a viable business, and seeking out the right inspiration and tools to get the party started.
