    How to Deconstruct The Patriarchy with Sharmadean Reid

    Sharmadean Reid MBE is an entrepreneur and passionate advocate for female empowerment. Having navigated the male-dominated world of business and venture capital, Sharmadean is dedicated to unmasking and deconstructing patriarchal barriers to female success. In this episode, we discuss financial empowerment, her experience as a female entrepreneur and what it means to have a supportive network around you. Sharmadean also shares insights from her latest book, New Methods for Women. Drawing on the wisdom of sources from business books to neuroscience to mythology, she has created her own unique methods to help women live purposeful and empowered lives. In 2018, Sharmadean became one of the only black women in the UK to raise over £1 million in seed funding for her beauty-booking app, BeautyStack. But Sharmadean believes that even if she has won, it doesn't mean the work is done for everyone. Success is not about praise or accolades, but about acknowledgement - knowing that her work has made a difference to even one woman's life. Sharmadean's insights are crucial for understanding the challenges we face and what can be done to build a better, fairer future for everyone.  Book for Emmeline Recommendation: Franny and Zooey by J.D.

    How To Become The Best Place To Work with Jenny Biggam, 7stars

    Jenny Biggam is the trailblazing founder of the7stars, the UK’s largest independent media company. They’re doing things differently- no job titles, equal profit shares and unlimited holiday for everyone. The key to attracting the best people, Jenny believes, is building the best place to work. In this episode, we discuss starting a business, the importance of ‘side hustles’ and how to keep people engaged at work. As companies face a crisis of employee burnout and high staff turnover, the7stars marks a new kind of workplace, one built around ‘talent encouragement’ and career development. They have been consistently ranked as one of the best places to work, featuring on the Sunday Times’ ‘Top 100 Companies to Work For’ list for the last 11 years and winning Campaign’s Best Place to Work every year since 2020.   Since founding the7stars in 2005, Jenny has also started her own ‘side hustle’, a sister agency called Bountiful Cow.

    How The Over 50s Are The Answer to Economic Growth

    “It's unacceptable to say to somebody in their 30s, when are you having children? Yet, on a daily basis, we've got people that are in their early 50s being asked, when are you going to retire?” Lyndsey Simpson is an entrepreneur and advocate blazing the trail for how workplaces can adapt to an ageing population. In this episode of Show Me The Way, we discuss population change, why ageism is so normalised and what hiring and retraining older workers can offer a business. Her organisation, 55/Redefined, advocates for age positivity and diversity across all areas of life, from age-inclusive hiring to challenging stereotypes in media and advertising.  Despite living longer and healthier lives than ever before, over-50s are feeling increasingly forced into retirement and corralled by ageist stereotypes. But by 2050, our working age population will shrink by 25%, while our over-60s population will grow by 40%. Lyndsey’s aim is to add another decade of productive years to life, fighting for age-inclusive hiring, educating businesses on the benefits for age diversity and empowering people to live the life they want at any age. About Lyndsey: Lyndsey Simpson has been recognised by Management Today as one of the UK’s 50 Most Inspirational Female Entrepreneurs and The Sunday Times’ Top 35 Business Women. She has received a Young Gun and Global Women in Staffing Power 50 award and was shortlisted for the Veuve Cliquot Bold Women 2024 award.
