  • How to Make Money (with Nafisa Bakkar) #19

    On this episode of Loose Change I sat down with Nafisa Bakkar to discuss her recently published book 'How to Make Money: A New, Honest Guide to Starting and Building a Six-Figure Business'. Nafisa is a decorated Founder and writer, it was great to find out more about her story.

    I really loved this conversation, we talked about what it really takes to succeed at business and the sacrifices involved. We discussed (the myth) of imposter syndrome, breaking tradition with entrepreneurship and what the future has in store for Nafisa...

  • I left the NHS and started my own Business (with Dr. Jordan Faulkner) #18

    On this week’s episode of Loose Change we sat down with Dr Jordan Faulkner about his experience working in the NHS, and ultimately how and why he left to set up his own business in aesthetic medicine. Having invested years of time, effort and resources into training to become a doctor, why is it that Jordan decided to leave? What is actually happening in hospitals and is it as dramatic as the media headlines portray?


    We discuss all of this on this episode of Loose Change...

  • I built a six-figure business by 18 (with Amani Zubair) - #17

    Building a successful business is tough. Most people take many years and several attempts before they manage to get a business off the ground. Now imagine launching yours at the age of 17, scaling it to six figures, then attracting the attention of a famous billionaire like Lord Alan Sugar all before you turn 19. That’s exactly what Amani did!

    On this week’s episode I sit down with the wonderful Amani Zubair, who is the founder of jewellery brand Tresor and also happens to be Alan Sugar’s youngest ever business partner. Being a young and successful entrepreneur is easy to glamourise but we discussed all the sacrifices, challenges and isolating experiences that a young, successful woman has to endure.

    We wanted to find out a bit more about Marnie beyond the business. We loved having this conversation and hope you enjoy it too!

  • Taking agency of your life (with Karmen Tang) - #14

    On this week's episode of the Loose Change Podcast I speak to my friend Karmen Tang about the idea of taking agency of your own life again. Karmen herself trained as an accountant, lived and worked in London before moving to Singapore and making some choices to take more ownership of her journey.

    For so many of us, we might begin to realise how little control we have over our lives, in the places we work, in what we put into our bodies and societies overall expectations of us. In this episode we discuss how you might consider taking agency in your own life again across the themes of work, health and money.

    On this week's episode of Loose Change we speak to founders of Artful Blend, Randeep and Chetna about their recent journey of quitting the rat race and launching their own business.
