    Ep. 3: The idea: does it have legs?

    Everyone loves your business idea, especially your mum and bestie. But what happens when you take it outside the group chat? This week, we’re talking about idea validation: how to find out if your idea actually has legs without spending loads of time or money. We cover why friends and family support is lovely, but not enough, and how to get feedback from people who don’t know (or love) you. From free tools like email sign-up pages to scrappy prototypes, we’re sharing practical, low-budget ways to test the waters before diving in. Still no intro music (but we have a brilliant local editor coming to help!) and our first proper expert guest is live next week!

    Ep 2: Why start a business (are you OK?)

    Starting a business is wild. Especially when you're doing it from your kitchen table with naff-all budget and no backup plan. In this episode, we’re digging into the real question: why the hell did you start a business in the first place? Because if you don’t know your "why", trust us, you're going to feel lost fast. The stats don’t lie: 1 in 5 businesses in the UK fail within five years. So if you're just in it for the money, there are easier ways. But if there's something deeper driving you, we’ll help you uncover it and use it to stay focused when things get chaotic (which they will). We’re sharing our own messy, unfiltered startup journey. The highs, lows, and awkward in-betweens, so you don’t feel alone in yours. Experts are coming soon, but for now, it’s just us (still no intro or outro music!), figuring it out in real time. Let’s go! Unofficial sponsor Trip Drinks keeping us calm this summer. Shout-out to the amazing The Five Hour Club, mentioned in this episode and perfect for parents hustling in school hours.

    Ep 1: So, what is this podcast? Snack Vans. Fashion. Beef Fat and more.

    In this intro episode, we set the scene: Who we are, what we’ve tried (and failed) at in business, and what this podcast is really about. We’re sharing the highs, lows, and in-betweens of building a business from your kitchen table with next to no budget in real-time. It’s honest, messy, and a bit chaotic, but the experts are coming soon. Oh, and we’re still figuring out how to add music. Bear with us.
