About the Host:

Jess White is an entrepreneur, yogi, and CEO. She has three businesses, two children, and two dogs, so life is full! Jess realised early on that life is a gift, and you should never take it for granted. She lives her life to the full with gratitude, never holding back.

Jess started her first business in 2008, making cakes, as she wanted to be able to create a business while being a full-time Mum. This led her to win several Great Taste Awards, appear on TV, and pitch to Virgin Atlantic, Waitrose, and Asda. When asked to design a range of cakes for a supermarket, she put entrepreneurship on hold to focus on raising her children so she could return to business, but she did not want to miss being there and bringing up her children.

As they grew older, in 2015, Jess began a new business, which was her total passion for helping others through what had helped her gain strength and healing through the beautiful practice of yoga and meditation. YogiTribe has taken Jess around the world, creating transformational retreats and bringing people together in beautiful places to create growth that affects their lives physically, mentally, and spiritually. After wishing she had discovered yoga as a child because of its transformational effects, she also fulfilled a dream of teaching yoga to children and is now training others to do the same.

Realising she loves business and bringing people together to create connection and transformation, in 2022, Jess created Spark Business Networking and began hosting networking events with a difference. She gave her clients fantastic events that put them at ease and made the whole experience enjoyable and effective. Spark has grown to a thriving business community of members and is now expanding through the Spark franchise.
