Every Tuesday, the podcast publishes a long-form interview with top Founders of startups like Monzo, BrewDog, Jo Malone, Slack, and Lastminute.com.

Having launched on Tuesday 13th September, Dan’s guest is Daniella Pierson, Co-Founder and CEO of The Newsette and Co-Founder and co-CEO of Wondermind, founded with Selena Gomez and Mandy Teefey. Daniella shares how her entrepreneurial drive came from the desire to provide for herself without dependency on a man, how she utilised her time at college to start creating her business and how Newsette has evolved into an agency. Daniella also shares her plans to shed more light on the Latinx community and mental health, introducing the idea of ‘mental fitness’, where you work on your mental health every day in an entertaining way.

Every Thursday,  the podcast also publishes a short-form ‘How I Failed’ episode,  featuring candid interviews with industry figureheads about setbacks in their career.

On Thursday 15th September, Dan’s guest is Jo Fisher, founder and CEO of Footlights Theatre School and The Empty Space Theatre. Aged 18, Jo employed her best friend to help her run her first business selling underwear stalls at markets. After a while, she noticed that the stock was depleting and there was no money coming in. The friend was stealing from her, and Jo was left to pay off the debt. Jo shares her learning from the experience as well as her emotional response to the failure and letting go of her ego.
