July 15, 2021 S2 Ep5 - What it Takes to Launch a Business with Fiona Grayson
My guest today is someone who knows what it really takes to launch a business. And in fact, has spent the last three years committed to debunking the #GirlBoss myth and providing honest realities of what really goes on behind the scenes as a female founder.
@FionaGrayson is the Founder of @meetCandid - the UK's first Benefits Programme for all female business owners in the UK.
Fiona discusses her mentality around success, why we need to separate success from our Instagram following and her alternative vision of the #GirlBoss Movement.

July 08, 2021 S2 Ep4 - Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE on Women in STEM
Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE is a prodigy in every sense of the word. Aged 11, she was the youngest girl ever to pass A-level computing and was just 20 years old when she received her Master’s Degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Oxford.
So as I’m sure you can tell, she’s potentially the most intimidating guest we’ve ever had on.
But thankfully, for me (and the rest of young women), Dr Anne-Marie has channelled her wealth of experience and pioneering spirit into co-founding Stemettes, an award-winning social initiative dedicated to inspiring the next generation of young women in STEM. Stemettes has exposed almost 50,000 young people across Europe to Anne-Marie’s vision for a more diverse science and tech community. Anne-Marie was awarded an MBE in 2017 for services to young women in STEM and in 2020 was voted the most influential woman in tech in the UK by Computer Weekly.
Dr Anne-Marie discusses how the world will change when there are 50:50 of men and women in tech, why she started Stemettes and the most important thing you can do to start a successful career.
