In this episode, Simon Squibb speaks with four young dreamers who are already challenging the system:

  • George Pemberton (16) — wants to launch a hybrid athlete coaching business with his brother. We design a hook (“Get fit for free”) and debate whether he should pursue A-Levels or take a gap year to go all-in. (@nobs.club • @exalt_ekene)

  • Francesca O’Sullivan — shares her raw story of losing her son and feeling lost after redundancy. In a 2-minute challenge, we explore how pain can become purpose, and how her writing could grow into a community. (@frankiesaturn)

  • Harrison Nott (15) — already turned over £100K with his invention CoolTowel™. We unpack how to balance scaling a product business with building a personal brand that inspires millions. (@harrisonnott)

  • Pijus Pranckus (18) — building a “Siri for business” to transform how companies train staff. We drill into clarity, focus, and how to pitch without losing people in the detail. (@jpcustomsie)

  • Julia Hammond (18) — launching Haya, a modest fashion brand redefining style and accessibility. We map out low-cost launch strategies, from TikTok to “modest marketing” campaigns. (@hayacollectionca)
