With Aga Peda.....Founder Of Born To Click

Aga is a visibility strategist and digital marketing consultant with 17+ years of experience shaping online presence for global hospitality and luxury travel brands. Now running her own consultancy, Born to Click, she helps businesses get found, build trust and turn their online presence into real enquiries - through Google Business Profile management, website strategy and her digital product suite, the Visibility System™. Aga grew up in Poland, raised by parents who took her and her brother travelling whenever they could - and taught her to ask questions, stay curious and never stop learning. Her grandmother, a woman of few means but great wisdom, put it simply: "learn, because knowledge is power." It was a line that stayed with her. She worked night shifts on hotel reception while studying, fell in love with hospitality and went on to complete two master's degrees. Then, she made one of the biggest decisions of her life: leaving everything behind and moving to the UK alone, knowing nobody, starting from scratch. What followed was 17 years of building a career inside some of the world's leading hospitality and luxury travel brands. She regularly found herself in male-dominated environments, had to work harder to be heard and credits those experiences with making her sharper and more resilient. Then came the redundancy. Rather than a full stop, it became a turning point. She channelled everything she'd built into something of her own - Born to Click, a visibility consultancy and the Visibility System™, a suite of digital products built from nearly two decades of hard-won strategy. The name? That came from a bad date. When she mentioned her work one evening, her date said "oh, so you were born to click." The domain was free. The decision took seconds. The date didn't lead to a second one but the name stuck. Her grandmother was right. Knowledge is power. And now Aga makes sure the businesses she works with use it.

A few years ago, Annie was rejected for a mortgage due to having bad credit that she didn’t even know existed. She believes no one should have to go through what she experienced during such an emotional and stressful time - she lost out on a family home which was incredibly difficult . She has combined that experience with her previous 10 year career in property, spanning from development to estate agency, to make it her mission to empower women and make mortgage advice more trustworthy and transparent.

With Natalie Silverstone.....Founder of Glamour Events Hire

Natalie is the founder of Glamour Events Hire and a passionate entrepreneur who specialises in creating unforgettable event experiences. From luxury weddings and corporate events to innovative AI-powered entertainment, she is known for bringing creativity, connection and memorable moments to every event she delivers. Alongside running her business, Nat is passionate about inspiring others to take the leap into entrepreneurship. She openly shares the highs, lows and lessons of building a business, encouraging others to back themselves, embrace opportunities and create a career they genuinely love. She always believed in creating experiences that bring people together, but my entrepreneurial journey hasn't been a straight line. Like many business owners, she started with a passion and a vision, but quickly realised that running a business takes resilience, adaptability and a willingness to keep learning. She founded Glamour Events Hire to help people create memorable events, from weddings and celebrations to corporate experiences, and over the years the business has continued to evolve alongside the changing events industry. One of the biggest lessons She learned is that saying yes to opportunities can completely change the direction of your business. That's led me into exciting areas like AI-powered event entertainment, corporate hospitality and working with festivals, opening doors I never imagined when I first started. Networking has also played a huge part in my journey too. Some of my biggest opportunities have come from conversations, relationships and simply putting myself out there. It's reinforced my belief that business is built on people, not just products or services. Like every entrepreneur, there have been challenges, setbacks and moments of self-doubt, but each one has helped her grow stronger, more creative and more determined. Today she is passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for her clients while encouraging others to believe in themselves, embrace change and recognise that you don't have to have everything figured out before you start. She is excited to share the reality of building a business - the highs, the lessons, the opportunities and why backing yourself is often the biggest step you'll ever take.

With Dina Behrman.....Ex Journalist & PR Strategist

Former journalist-turned-PR strategist Dina Behrman helps entrepreneurs and leaders stop being the internet’s best kept secret, become the ‘go to’ expert and create a much bigger impact in the world by sharing their story and expertise in the press. She launched her business following a decade working as a journalist, during which she was published in virtually every national UK newspaper and many magazines. She’s worked as a publicist for a number of industry leaders, and has also helped hundreds of entrepreneurs learn how to do their own PR. Dina began her career as a journalist, spending a decade uncovering and crafting compelling stories. She then moved into PR, bringing that editorial expertise into helping clients secure meaningful media coverage and grow their visibility. Early in her PR career, being more on the introverted side, she massively struggled with visibility herself, which left her struggling to sign clients. She ended up over-worked and underpaid and feeling disillusioned and burnt out. She even considered closing her business. Working with a coach, she was eventually able to shift her mindset and step forward as an expert, which was a huge turning point. As she began putting herself out there, she was featured in outlets such as Forbes, Entrepreneur, and HuffPost, which led to her being seen as an authority in her field. She was hired by industry leaders to do their PR, and then became fully booked and hit 6-figures in her business. Over the past decade as a PR strategist, she has helped hundreds of clients gain press coverage and position themselves as experts. Her work is shaped by both sides of the industry - knowing what journalists look for and what it takes for business owners to step into visibility. Today, she helps clients share their stories and expertise in the press in a way that is strategic, authentic, and aligned with their goals. Find out more about Dina and her work HERE.

With Spencer Moore.....Founder Of the Hairy Chin Platform & Podcast

Spencer Moore is a female health advocate originally from North Carolina and based in Barcelona, Spain for the past 10 years. She founded The Hairy Chin platform and hosts The Hairy Chin Podcast, where she educates women in the how of health advocacy, teaching them the skills to actively participate in their healthcare and beyond. She came to Barcelona from the US for an intensive art school program in 2016 - she has been a life long creative/studio artist and was going through a transition after ending a serious relationship. She immediately felt so at home in Barcelona, a city she had no connection to at the time, and when her program ended, she decided to move to Barcelona for a period of time and explore the authentic version of herself she met there. This was over 10 years ago, and she has built a life from scratch there. It was the most unexpected but also the best decision she ever made for herself. She has battled chronic health conditions (immune dysfunction and inflammatory diseases) my entire life, but so much changed in 2023 when she was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer from her very first screening mammogram. She was so shocked at the diagnosis she wanted to learn as much as she could, and through it she became a Breast Health Educator, to teach other women about breast health, breast cancer and breast cancer prevention. In her sessions she saw the change women made in one hour from being empowered and educated about their body and their health - something that has been left out of female health education. It inspired her so much she decided to become a female health advocate and shifted her career from graphic design/audiovisual work, to starting The Hairy Chin platform and podcast.
