Aaron John & George Metcalfe | Tranquiliti
<p>It's another brand new episode for a brand new week, people! Join Gordon and SL this week as they tackle another big issue (what's new?) - mental health in schools.</p> <p>A timely and heartbreaking conversation as we face further weeks of school closures and isolation for many, our guests <strong>Aaron John and George Metcalfe</strong> talk to us about their social impact startup <a href="https://www.tranquiliti.co/"><strong>Tranquiliti</strong></a>, and how they are working with schools and families to change the education system, driven by their own experiences with mental health issues.</p> <p>Shockingly, 1 in 10 children and young people are affected with mental health issues, and an incredible 70% have or did not receive interventions from an early enough age. Tranquiliti uses technology to make children's voices heard, to offer insights and solutions to those in need of help.</p> <p>Aaron and George have been in the entrepreneur game for two years and have an amazing product, but it hasn't always been smooth sailing. The founders talk us through the ups and downs of the first few years of business, battling the need for stability, the struggles and benefits of working in a team, and a ton of other gems they have learned along the way.</p> <p>Tune in this week for another inspiring founder story, give them a follow @tranquiliti and let us know what you love about them!</p>

Tom Fenton | Amber Light
<p>In the final episode of 2020 (goodbye to that, thank you very much!) Gordon and SL tackle a big, tricky subject - addiction. Not the most festive of topics, we'll grant you, but an important one that often goes under the radar, with a lot to unpack. 🤭</p> <p>We speak to impact entrepreneur <strong>Tom Fenton</strong>, founder of <a href="https://www.amberlight.app/"><strong>Amber Light</strong></a>, who has found a tech solution to addiction that also has a personal side. His idea came about from a personal addiction and lack of support there is for those battling with it. Amber Light is an app which takes that 'battle' idea and creates a gamified app , allowing people to track their habits - whether it's porn, alcohol or junk food - and find support and accountability with a community of people who have been there or are still there with you. 🔶👾🔶</p> <p>Tom talks us through his process of seeing a need and building a successful business on it, designing a user experience, his journey through our Impact Central accelerator and his advice for those just starting out on the entrepreneurs (often lonely) journey. You don't want to miss this inspirational episode!<br> <br> We'll be back in January with more incredible founders! Wishing all our community and listeners a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year, finding the joy where we can in the midst of the madness. ✨</p>
