Episode 105: Don't be scared of the copy cats
With the high-profile row between 2 supermarket chains in the UK recently over intellectual property rights, you'd be forgiven for being a little anxious about someone stealing your business idea. We've certainly had the same happen to us on more than one occasion, but there are actually quite a few positives you can take from the experience.

Episode:104 - Business networking for women
It has been said that your network is your net worth, which I’m sure our guest on this episode would agree with. Coral Horn is the founder of Pink Link Ladies which is a female-only business networking organisation that has been running for 11 years.
Pink Link provides a safe, inclusive and positive space for women to do business. The move from physical meetings to virtual at the start of the pandemic has enabled Coral to reach a wider network of women and she intends to keep it this way with ambitious plans to grow nationally and even internationally.
Kate and Coral found they had a lot of common ground from backgrounds in hospitality to pivoting event-based businesses and supporting their members through a pandemic. Listen or watch to see how resilience and determination are key in pivoting a business and where to look for the silver linings in challenging circumstances.
