You may have a stereotypical image of a tech founder. Chances are it’s someone from East London, with a Hipster beard who lives in something like a houseboat…

But as we’ve seen before, founders come in all shapes and sizes. We’ve previously had Anne Boden on, who founded the billion-dollar company Starling in her 50s.

And that is what today’s guest is all about. Lyndsey Simpson is the founder of 55 Redefined and it’s all about finding purpose later in life.

Lyndsey was suggested to us after we made a call out for more diverse guests after International Women’s Day earlier this year and I couldn’t think of a better guest suggestion to reflect this.

Thank you to our partners The Octopus Group for making this show possible. The Octopus Group is a collection of 8 entrepreneurially minded businesses that look to back the people, ideas and industries that will change the world.
