Welcome to Messy Business with your hosts Sarah Taylor (she/her) and Kirsty Kianifard (she/her). The show where we lift the lid on what it's really like to run a business, which we all know isn't anywhere near as glamorous as Instagram makes out! So to help make navigating the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship that little bit easier, each week we'll be unpacking the highs and lows of our own business journeys. And we'll also be hearing from you with your misadventures, magic moments, and of course, your own messy business stories. Because after all, a problem shared is a problem halved. And let’s face it, this business malarkey is a whole lot easier when we do it together.

What a find! Absolutely love it!

I’ve been following Sarah and Kirsty for a while and always loved their content but this pod is next level. Funny, relatable and most importantly, like tuning into a catch up with my besties each week. Can’t wait for the next ep already!

Had me in stitches (very relatable)

Absolutely love this pod! Stumbled across it and I’m so glad I did because it’s made me realise that it’s not just me that finds this whole business growth malarkey VERY messy.

Excited for the next episode already - well done Kirsty & Sarah, great job!
