Nobody builds alone.

'Self-made' is overrated. The right people take you further than going alone. Money and business have blueprints, so go and find them. But you can't calculate a relationship in advance. Release the perfect plan and live.

What's on my mind

The conversations I want to have.

Things I've seen, read and overheard, what people are saying about them, and where I land. This is the thinking behind every episode.

Where are the partnerships?

There wasn't one moment. It built up from being curious.

I've been curious about this for over a year. "Self-made" gets idolised, and I think trying to do it all yourself is overrated. I love love. I love marriage. And I love business. Too often we interview solo founders, and I want to hear from the partnerships.

When I looked at my own journey, it held up. I was broke, and the right partners are what let me leap forward. They showed me the leader I can be and gave me a space to feel sane. Accountability has been a massive part of how I've built anything, so I come to these conversations with conviction. I've lived what the right partnership can do.

I don't think we recognise the value of simply having people who care for you and love you. There's nothing like it.

Who it's for

Ambitious women and men considering or navigating love and marriage while building successful businesses. Many are single or dating, thinking hard about the future, and trying to get the plan perfect before they start.

Where it's going

A world where ambitious people stop waiting for the perfect plan and build their lives and businesses with the right partners, and where families keep the benefit for generations. The podcast comes first.
