This week, Claire and Sarah talk to Egbe Manton, who started her rebel legal consultancy, Manton Legal, at the height of the pandemic – despite a full-time job and raising two children.

Getting a business off the ground takes guts and right from the get-go, Sarah and Claire are here to help you do it. To kick off The Obu Podcast, and help you get to know your hosts, this week they’re being interviewed by the insatiably curious Gemma Greaves, co-founder of Nurture and founder of Cabal. 

Gemma gets under the skin of the Obu story, asking how two strangers who met outside a Caffè Nero started a nationwide movement of women entrepreneurs, closed their first investment round, took on the government and, of course, launched a podcast.
