The Entreprenora Podcast

Join me and Conor on this thoughtful and impact-filled close to Season Four. Translating his design and people-led architecture training into building "the home of urban agriculture" and the "AirBNB of gardens", Conor is bringing depth and meaning to the sharing economy. We talk about everything from the theraputic benefits of dirt to must-read books to growing a business thoughtfully and rapidly. Tune in for a conversation that will have you seeing green in the best way possible.

Urvi is a leadership coach, status quo challenger, global citizen, and seer of unseen possibilities. In this conversation, we talk about her work helping visionary women of color build an unshakeable foundation for actualizing their audacious dreams. With a superpower of (and obsession with) showing people how to harness the power of science and spirituality, Urvi guides leaders and impact-makers to unleash their highest potential.

In this bold conversation, Megan and I talk about her recent book Stronger: The honest guide to healing and rebuilding after pregnancy and birth and the powerful work she is doing to normalize conversations around women's bodies and all the things we "suck up and deal with" (leaking, incontinence, pain) that are not normal and that we should not have to accept as a fact of life. Megan shares tools to take back control of our lives and our bodies through simple exercises that protect, stabilize, and rehabilitate, and her message of becoming stronger applies to non-parents as well. From menarche to menopause and beyond, the relationship we all have with our bodies' most intimate parts has a deep and real impact on our mental health, our professional performance, and our confidence. Megan's insights will have you shouting "why has no one told me this before?", and this life-changing and life-affirming chat will help you reclaim your power.

Growing up on a farm, Tessa developed a keen appreciation for the hard work that goes into food production and an aversion to waste in all its forms. After an impressive and international corporate career, she got "sick and tired of not being inspired" by herself, and started to tune into the problems she wanted to solve in the world. Her lightbulb moment came when she was moving between countries and was struggling to find anyone to give perfectly good food from her pantry to. A few "smuggled" boxes of non-perishables later, Olio was born. The platform now connects almost 4 million users who give away food and other household items to their neighbours (for free!), creating community and connection along the way. Join me and Tessa as we talk about how to "Fight waste. Help your neighbours. Save our planet. Feel amazing!"

In this episode, I chat with "The Property Voice" Richard Brown about his journey from accountancy to entrepreneurship to a world of his own creation. Richard's fresh and holistic take on all things real estate and investing is as thoughtful and eye-opening as is his approach to life and giving back. Join me and my "property buddy" for a light but powerful conversation about standing up for what you believe in and creating a life of your own design.

From profit to passion to purpose, Gaia's personal and professional journey has been almost as non-traditional as you can get. After a successful career in tech, Gaia left it all behind to attend chef school and became known as "The Rachel Ray of Spain." A sudden tragedy led her to make another 180-degree turn, and her work now focuses on helping entrepreneurs "build a legacy that fulfills the soul." In this episode, Gaia shares her wonderful insights about building your own legacy, and reminds us of the importance of integrating ourselves. Join us for a soul-full conversation about navigating life's many ups and downs, and going from existential to exponential.

In this high-energy conversation with the wonderful Sally Bee, we talk all things resilience and inner grit. After surviving five heart attacks early in adulthood, Sally transformed her life, her health, and her approach to wellbeing, and now helps others do the same through her work as a motivational speaker and an accomplished author. Sally is brutally honest about facing life's challenges head on instead of shrinking into ourselves, and her choices along her road to recovery are full of wisdom for all of us. Tune in for heart-full inspiration that will have you tapping into your best self.

Mel discovered Indian food while living in India as a teen, and began mixing her own spices years ago to recreate the cuisine she fell in love with. After sharing her mixes with friends and family, Mel launched Spice Pots in 2014, while raising three young kids. But as she built her business externally, Mel knew that something was holding her back internally, and it wasn't until she rebooted and reignited her mindset, that she and Spice Pots really took off. Join me and Mel as we go on a deep inner tour of what it means to create success from within and reimagine what we are capable of through doing the tough inner work we too often ignore.

An amazingly normal badass is how I think of Mollie Hughes. At 26 Mollie became the youngest woman in the world and the first English woman to successfully summit Mt Everest from both the north and south sides, and in 2019 became the youngest woman in the world to ski solo from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole.

Her mental and physical toughness, dogged determination, and indomitable self-belief are uniquely balanced by her immense likeability and easy grace. In one of my favorite interviews to date, we delve into topics related to survival, sur-thrival, and everything in between. Tune in for deep insights we can all use to test our mettle and climb metaphorical Everests of our own.

After being fired from her position at a digital marketing agency, Shauna launched “Making Moxie” for values-driven clients who want to make an impact. Her work invokes the unique vision and goals of her clients, and she helps other founders create marketing campaigns and share their message in a meaningful, authentic way. Shauna’s work for herself and others is helping redefine how small businesses connect with their customers, and her approach to protecting her time, enforcing boundaries, and valuing herself are lessons all of us need to be reminded of in our personal and professional journeys.
