This episode is a deeply personal one. I'm sharing why the last episode about 'expensive hobbies' was quite difficult for me to create, and why the work that I do matters so much to me.

Key Moments:

• [01:45] Philippa's childhood experiences and understanding of financial independence
• [03:50] Learning about entrepreneurship through a transformative family in London
• [09:13] The importance of supportive partnerships and personal financial independence
• [15:30] Two types of creative entrepreneurs Philippa serves
• [21:18] Why viability and alignment matter beyond business metrics

Notable Quotes:

"Financial independence isn't a luxury. It's not about being ambitious or wanting more. It's about having choices. It's about safety. It's about being able to leave a situation.

"When you build something that's genuinely yours, that uses your natural strengths, that creates real value for people, and that rewards you properly for it, that pride in your work transforms how you show up in every part of your life."
