Go Emily!

I really like hearing more of Emily’s thinking and approach to business and of how she is building something aligned to what she believes in. Kathleen, way to be a good friend too. I don’t love the “produced” segments - honestly they feel a lot like adverts to me, especially when they are about the Being Boss book. But hey, if it works. Overall, a great podcast.

Totally my favourite podcast!

I absolutely love love love this podcast, when can I expect more?!

After listening to Being Boss I moved onto this podcast which I just felt gave me this reassuring feeling of we all start somewhere. Funny and so interesting it gives you a real insight into the world of making a business, spoiler, It’s not all easy!

So hoping more episodes come soon🤞🤞
