In this episode Sinéad and Melissa are joined by Claire Richards, the self taught hand embroidery artist and one-woman-band behind Delicious Monster Tea to discuss taking the leap and starting your own business.

Have you ever thought ‘I could start my own business’? Maybe you’ve found a solution to a problem, a gap in the market or you just want to be your own boss. But as soon as you start dreaming it, you get that voice in your head that says you’re not good enough. 

Join us as we discuss why now is the time for diverse entrepreneurship, share some inspiring innovations from history and talk fighting that imposter feeling. 

We’d love to hear your stories of feeling like an imposter- as well as how you’re doing at the moment- so email us at  [email protected] and each episode we’ll be sharing some on the podcast.
