Welcome to the very first episode of Business and Sequins. When I kept thinking about what I could do for my first episode, I totally drew a blank! I held up the whole production of things because I wanted it to be perfect. Well after a swift kick up the bum from my husband I realised, things don't have to be perfect. I just have to make a start and get it out! So, I thought there is nothing quite fitting than having my partner in crime, in marriage, life and business, interview me about this new venture. So in this first episode, Ambrose interviews me. He asks some tough questions, and drills me on Business and Sequins, and how it has all come about. I'm excited to be sharing this journey with you all. In this episdoe you will learn: A little bit about my past A little bit about me now A little bit about my future plans
