In this episode, I'm excited to introduce another guest to the podcast, my cousin, Ashley Hardman. Ashley has an interesting background and has set up his own business while working a "traditional job". Coming from a creative background, he has found starting a business both challenging and rewarding.

We discuss the positives and negatives Ashley has experienced in launching a business. What it is actually like starting a business, the day-to-day effort and continued hard work that is needed to make it a success. Ashley discusses how key it is to be adaptable and look to people you admire, to learn from their experiences. As well as keeping a journal of all your ideas, as you don't know when they will come in handy.

Thanks to Ashley Hardman for being a guest on the podcast. It was an honour and a privilege.
