Staying Resilient: A Conversation on Bouncing Back in Tough Times
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed given current events, but it’s important – perhaps now more than ever – to remain calm, cool, and collected during these times of uncertainty. In this episode of The Dell Women’s Entrepreneur Network (DWEN) Podcast, public speaker Jenny Garrett and Erica Brennes from Real Mom, Real Tired have a conversation about how we can maintain resiliency by identifying what we can control, what we can influence, and what’s outside our power during this time.

Managing a business can seem especially challenging when the future of the economy, your ability to access resources, and the health and wellbeing of you and your family are uncertain.

Welcome to Episode #1 from the Festival Of Enterprise podcast 2020.
"So I was in New York at the time filming & Ed phoned me up..and it was our first big one...and you could walk into the shops and see your own brand there on the shelves...& that was so significant at that time as we would have had another two or three months...before we went bust."
I talk to the founders of Candy Kittens about their health conscious sweets that aren't just for kids.
Candy Kittens was an idea that Made In Chelsea star Jamie Laing originally had but, after meeting entrepreneur Ed Williams they pivoted from sweet shops to packets of sweets, and after five years are stocked everywhere from Top Shop to Tesco's.
We cover everything from how they grew their brand through social media and the Candy Kittens army, through to how it's better to be an entrepreneur working for yourself - than building someone else's dream.

Welcome to Episode #2 from the Festival Of Enterprise Podcast 2020.
"All my friends, if they look at the back of a bottle, they just say this is you in bottle form. It's very quirky. You know, it's fun. It kind of provokes a reaction in the customer. It was always designed for the social media, millennial, living generation. So I don't tend to find that anyone would drink the drink without taking a photo of it first, which is free marketing. So because it's so, so extra, let's say that word. That's another one that Lord Sugar probably wouldn't know, because it's so extra and so different people are this is quirky, take a photo, send it to their friend, tag Mylkplus and then it snowballs."
I talk to Camilla Ainsworth, founder of vegan nut milk brand Mylkplus and the youngest ever finalist on BBC One's ‘The Apprentice’.
Camilla was just 22 when she narrowly missed out in the final in 2018.
The CEO of Holland & Barrett was suitably impressed to launch Camilla's Mylkplus brand into their stores.
She will be appearing at this years Festival Of Enterprise to tell you how she took her brand from the kitchen table to a national audience.

Welcome to Episode #3 from the Festival Of Enterprise Podcast 2020.
"I work really practically in the industry, to highlight the talent pool that support staff provide the businesses and how those businesses can tap into that talent and maximise it. So it's about having, when we set up the business, it was about having a voice for change. It was about, not being like other recruitment companies, we looked at the businesses that we aspired to be. Some of those were cliched, you know, the Virgins, the Apples, the big brands, but where there was an ethos, where there was a strong message, where that message was felt by the team, so that when you walked in, you felt those core values. And you felt that this was a company that looked at individuals, you know, in holistic way."
I talk to Lucy Chamberlain, founder of C&C Search a multi million pound business that collaborates with other female led businesses. Lucy is one of the business world's most popular motivational speakers. Lucy's business journey, has seen her work as a TV presenter, awards judge and leading coach.
