I’m thrilled to be joined this week by Catherine Rose, the UK’s No. 2 Padel player. After starting her career as a teacher, Catherine made the bold leap into professional sport last year, a pivot that demanded courage, commitment, and a whole lot of self-belief.

We dig into the challenges she’s faced along the way, from battling debilitating nerves to navigating the confidence gap that so many women experience when it comes to backing themselves. Catherine shares the moment she realised she was genuinely on a career path in Padel, and how that clarity, consistency, and momentum ultimately led to her selection to represent her country.

We also explore the importance of mental resilience, focusing on what you can control, trusting the process, and finding confidence in the moments that matter most. Her journey is a powerful reminder of how self-belief combined with steady momentum can shift everything, both on and off the court.

This week on Hindsight, I’m joined by Olivia Jenkins, founder of D. Louise, a jewellery brand that’s redefining what it means to build a business with purpose.

After losing both her Mother and Brother, Olivia channelled her grief into creating something with real emotional depth. What began in her bedroom has since grown into a multi-million-pound brand built on authenticity, resilience and legacy.

In this episode, we talk about turning pain into purpose, building a business from the ground up, and the importance of mindset, especially on the days when things don’t go to plan. Olivia shares how she once believed that successful business leaders never had bad days, and how she’s since learned that it’s your ability to pick yourself up, reset and keep going that truly defines success.

One of the most honest and inspiring conversations yet. I hope you enjoy it.

This week on Hindsight, I speak to Madeleine Shaw nutritionist, best-selling author, and early pioneer in the wellness space. A super insightful discussion where we discuss the internal narratives we tell ourselves, the subconscious tapes we play and how society shapes them. Madeleine shares how she’s followed her gut, navigated failure, rediscovered herself, and the importance of keeping friends close. An inspiring chat where I learned a lot, I hope you enjoy it!

This week on Hindsight we’re joined by Marisa Poster, co-founder of Perfect Ted. Marisa opens up about how her early childhood experiences and how her diagnosis of ADHD and anxiety shaped the entrepreneur she is today. She shares how she met her co-founders at University, navigated her early years as a party girl in New York, and eventually built a powerhouse brand alongside her husband and brother-in-law.

From her clever approach to marketing, which has catapulted Perfect Ted into the spotlight, to her experiences pitching on Dragons’ Den, Marisa gives a fascinating insight into the business and personal journey that led to the UK’s Matcha revolution. She also shares why in-person connection is at the heart of everything she does.

It’s one of our most honest and candid episodes yet, one you won’t want to miss!

This week on Hindsight, I sit down with Aron Gelbard, co-founder of Bloom & Wild, the flower delivery brand that redefined gifting. Aron shares his journey from leaving a stable job in consulting to launching a startup that skyrocketed during the pandemic, before facing the difficult realities of making layoffs. We dive into the emotional resilience it takes to lead through highs and lows, the personal cost of being a founder, and the lessons he’s learned about building a brand with heart. Aron also reveals the clever early marketing strategies that put Bloom & Wild on the map, from handing out free flowers in the street to building a business deeply rooted in purpose.

This week I sit down with Ben Jeffries, founder of Influencer the global platform powering the creator economy. From a serendipitous Tinder match that introduced him to his future co-founder Caspar Lee, Ben’s journey took him from dropping out of University to building a business working with global giants such as Starbucks, Google and Snapchat. He shares why structure and discipline were key in the early days and why sometimes the smartest move is to pause, rethink, and rebuild when things don’t go your way.

This is one of the most candid conversations yet, pulling the curtain back on the realities of the creator economy, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to turn vision into impact. Ben opens up about the challenges behind the scenes, including losing their biggest client, and shares what it takes to carve out your own path.

This week’s episode of Hindsight is with Sophie Hallwright, co-founder of The Curve who is on a mission to change the way women engage with money.

Through The Curve, Sophie has built a platform that makes investing and money management accessible, easy to understand, and even enjoyable. We dive into her own journey into investing, including a few mishaps along the way and explore why she’s so driven to educate and empower women around finance. Our conversation also touches on why it’s never too late to change paths, the importance of trying on different hats before finding your true purpose and the power of embracing career pivots along the way.

“I set up on my own, on a shoestring budget, everything held together by gaffer tape and a second-hand coffee machine. In the early days, it was super slow, there was nobody coming in. The local community said, ‘this is another coffee shop we don’t need’. There were testing times. There were days when I took zero, as in, I didn’t have a single customer.”

This week’s episode of Hindsight is with Jens Knoops, founder of Knoops. After spotting a gap in the market for quality chocolate drinks, he used his creative vision to build a global brand. Monetary pursuit wasn’t the main goal instead, by drawing on his background in photography and following his passion, Jens built something unique that others saw potential in really early on.

His creativity fuelled resilience, and his deep customer-centric model has led to a hugely successful story including completing a £5 million pound funding round. Jens shares why trusting your vision and embracing the slow and steady grind is key to long-term success. And why, without his own passion and drive, it simply wouldn’t have been a successful business.

Such an honest and inspiring conversation, one of my favourites yet. I hope you enjoy it.

“I felt like I was born written off, like the world had already decided who I was allowed to become. So I said: let me show you what I can do. Let me shape my own narrative.”

On this week’s episode of Hindsight: Letters to My Younger Self, I sit down with Andy Ayim MBE for a powerful conversation about identity, access, and the freedom that comes with owning your story.

We explore the power of expansive curiosity, what it means to be truly seen, and why Andy believes you should back yourself before the world does.

Andy is known for his thought-provoking facilitation and warm, human storytelling, having worked with clients from Google to Uber. He’s spent his career building platforms that create real access and inclusion and in this episode, he shares the mindset shifts, role models and moments that shaped his path.

This is a conversation that explores the importance of meeting people where they are, how you should seek first to understand and the power of creating space for people to be heard. I really hope you enjoy the episode.

“You can be an unstoppable entrepreneur if you learn to enjoy rejection”… This week’s episode of Hindsight is with James Mishreki co-founder of Skin and Me. Having a previous life as a professional poker player.. James learnt to become ‘comfortable in uncomfortable situations’. Applying this mentality to business, James scaled Skin & Me to a multi-million pound business with experts recommending a personalised skin care regime. The conversation pulls back the curtain on the journey that led him to revolutionize the skincare industry, as we discuss how best to navigate a crisis, why entrepreneurs should back themselves and why life is too short not to spend time on the stuff you love. One of my favourite episodes yet which explores the invaluable wisdom that comes from looking back to move forward! Not one to miss. I really hope you enjoy it.
