    In 2018 I made one of the boldest and best decisions for my business - I started this podcast. Despite knowing absolutely nothing and not really having an audience who would listen, I took messy action and 6 years later am so grateful for my past self. There is so much this project has taught me, so I thought I'd sit down and share 6 marketing lessons we can all take from my journey!

    259 | Building a million pound business with your husband and breaking the mould, with Rachel & James Harris (StriveX)

    An annual all-expenses-paid all-employee holiday, business icons sat on their board - Rachel Harris (a.k.a. Accountant She) and her husband James Harris do business differently. They founded their accountancy firm StriveX 3 and a half years ago, and have built it from 1 client to a million-pound valuation in that short time.
    This is part 2 of their interview. Last week, they chatted about their knowledge, but this week it's all about their story. How they grew their business, how they became one of the top 30 businesses to work for in the UK, and ultimately how they run a business as life partners.
