Own It! is a weekly podcast for aspiring entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and small business owners everywhere.  

With years of business experience, great friends and ex-business partners Nicola Cairncross and Judith Morgan share – in their trademark straight talking, humorous way - what they’ve been up to that week; what’s inspired, impressed and infuriated them, business book recommendations, the marketing and money tips, tools and techniques they use themselves.

Own It! 287 | Time Off Is Never Wasted
