GRACE BEVERLEY
About this episode

This week’s episode might be the one i’ve spent the most time thinking & planning ever. When i asked after our last compilation episode which ones you guys wanted, so many asked for a compilation of the best business advice from the over 120 episodes of this podcast.


Now let me tell you that was a huge task, because when you’ve spent the last 5 years finding your favourite founders to speak to, choosing is like choosing between your dogs (or at least for me it is).


So, if you have ever thought about running a business, you’ve just started one, you’ve been running one for a decade, or you’re just nosy about how to make loads of money working for yourself, you might enjoy the next hour, i really hope you do!
