    7. Adapt..or Die with Kay Kukoyi Founder of Purposeful Group

    The story of Kay Kukoyi Founder of Purposeful Group Whilst 50% of SMEs increased digital uptake during the pandemic, they still face several barriers that, if removed, would accelerate the digital transition.  Kay shares her insights on preparing for the future, business in 2022 and beyond, why every company is a tech company now. In this lesson you'll learn:  Digitalisation of SMEs is fundamental in building inclusive and resilient economies and societies. The gap between SMEs and larger companies strengthens the inequality among firms, and, in turn, people and places. Because fewer SMEs train themselves or employees to improve their IT skills, compared with large companies, digital gaps with large firms persist and indeed are at risk of exponentially widening.

    1. The Thrill of Physics with Illana Gambrill, Founder of DanceBox

    Welcome to Unfinished Business, a new podcast where we sit down with entrepreneurs who have overcome the challenges of starting a company, and the secrets to keeping it alive. Hosted by Liana Fricker, Founder and Inspirer-in-Chief at Inspiration Space, this is a masterclass and mentoring session all rolled into one. In this episode of Unfinished Business, you'll meet Illana Gambrill, Founder of DanceBox. Illana is the perfect example of when a creative tour de force unlocks their inner entrepreneur. She started dancing at age 12 and by 18 was working as a pro, travelling the world with famous artists on tours and TV shows. Yet, after years of shouldering the weight and pressure of being a professional dancer, Illana quit the industry to explore something new. And so, DanceBox was born. What started as a simple idea, adult dance classes, grew into a smash hit. But when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Illana had to think on her feet and take a leap into the unknown. In this episode you'll learn that: Starting a business can be intimidating, but with support, you can navigate the highs and lows of working for yourself. Utilising social media effectively is crucial for growing a business and connecting with potential customers. Change can be difficult, but it's important to pursue your dreams and embrace a 'squiggly' career. Balancing work, life, and personal well-being is critical for success. Asking for help, prioritising marketing and finance, and focusing on your goals are all essential steps in starting a business. Inspiration Space exists to galvanise the next generation of entrepreneurs and give them the training and support they need to create the world they want to see. Community-powered support is how you achieve extraordinary results. No guru's or quick fixes. Just tried and trusted frameworks that work.
