The Industry Baby

The Industry Baby is a long-form podcast about business, culture, and wellbeing, hosted by Chelsea Mtada. Chelsea left law school after one week. What followed was ten years of hustling, dreaming, failing, and starting again, working her way through media, beauty, and culture to build a life on her own terms. Created for those who were raised by the industry itself, The Industry Baby explores how people are shaped not by privilege or proximity to power, but by environment, community, culture, and lived experience. Through intimate, one-to-one conversations, the podcast spotlights creatives, founders, artists, strategists, thinkers, and leaders navigating growth, success, and self-actualisation in real time. The show challenges traditional narratives of success by centring voices from both the margins and the mainstream, people redefining what it means to thrive on their own terms.
