Hustle and Giggle

From working with Tom Cruise and Joanna Lumley to revealing what really goes on behind the scenes of some of our favourite TV shows, photographer Sally Bowes has some brilliant stories to share!

We chat about swapping television for photography, capturing real moments rather than perfect poses, and why the best photo's aren't always the perfect ones.

Plus, electric cars, expensive dentists, survival kits and plenty of giggles along the way!

With Karma away writing her book, Nathan Ing returns as our honorary third hustler!

This week, we're catching up on Egyptian adventures, family milestones, emotional goodbyes and an ambitious swimming challenge.

We also ponder dream jobs, celebrities we'd rather avoid at dinner and what three objects would tell the story of our lives.

Throw in some thoughtful moments, swimming pool revelations and plenty of laughter, and it's another wonderfully random episode of Hustle & Giggle!

Welcome to Episode 40 of Hustle & Giggle! This week we're joined by The Driving Anxiety Coach, Diane Curtis-Knight.

We chat about driving anxiety, where it can come from and how taking small steps can help build confidence again. Diane also shares her own experiences of pushing outside her comfort zone - from motorbikes to cold water swimming.

There's also talk of facing fears, doing hard things, proud parent moment and the importance of celebrating the wins along the way.

And we discover the power of one very small word - yet. Because "I can't do it" feels very different when you add the "yet" to to the end.

Is being busy really a sign of success ... or are we just very good at filling our diaries?

This week we're chatting fresh starts, fitness, qualifications vs experience, customer service and why some everyday things still feel strangely behind the times.

Business, life and the usual tangents!

September's here, and we're chatting about the little things that make life better, from caramel lattes and outsourcing the ironing to family, four-legged friends and a bit of time to ourselves.

We talk about what we'd do with an unexpected day off, rediscovering things we loved as kids, exercise challenges, holiday adventures and the simple things that can make us happy.

Plus autumn, far too many pairs of boots ... and the unexpected arrival of chicken wine.

This week, we're talking holiday highs and the chaos of coming home, what customers really want and why staying in touch matters.

Then we discuss the emotional reality of children leaving home and the difficult balance between holding on and letting them live their own lives.

Along the way, there's early-morning networking, cold-water plunges and the danger of accidentally sitting on someone in a steam room.

Thoughtful, honest and naturally slightly chaotic. Grab a cuppa and join us!

What happens when you leave a 25 year corporate career behind and take the leap into something of your own?

This week we're joined by Wendy, founder of Bread & Brew in Wendover, to chat about swapping corporate life for coffee, community and a new adventure.

From losing out on her first premises and accidentally resigning, to learning the ropes by volunteering in a coffee shop, Wendy shares the honest reality of starting from scratch and building something people genuinely love.

Amanda is back in the hosting chair as we catch up on what's been happening over the last few weeks.

From finding time for ourselves and celebrating life's wins, to the jobs we'd never do and the songs that would soundtrack our businesses, it's another episode full of laughs, honest conversations and plenty of giggles.

This week, we're joined by a very special guest - Alcom IT co-founder (and Karma's husband), Abe Almosawi.

From launching a computer shop with nothing but determination and a stack of credit cards, to building a thriving IT business over nearly three decades, Abe shares the highs, the hard lessons, and the moments that shaped both the business and the family behind it.

Grab a coffee and join us for Episode 34 of the Hustle& Giggle Podcast.

This week we're celebrating proud parent moments, sharing what's been tough, and asking whether banning social media for under 16's is really the answer.

We also chat about life before smartphones and the everyday things we probably spend too much money on!

As always, it's an honest conversation with plenty of laughs along the way.
