E9: How Two Marketeers Created A Biscuit Business
<p><a href="https://www.thebiskery.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoopyENXCIRbaJfy4rdU0dovNzWxySEuuO5N0zdhibIyrjmrWF2r" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Biskery</a> didn’t begin as a grand plan — it began as two women who refused to stay somewhere they no longer believed in. When Lisa returned from maternity leave to find her senior title stripped away, clarity hit hard: “There’s no future for me here.” That moment became the spark. She and Saskia, once colleagues in a London digital agency, started baking the flavours of home at market stalls, learning quickly from what sold, what didn’t, and what the market was quietly telling them. What looked like a simple biscuit business was actually the beginning of something built on listening, resilience, and a whole lot of bootstrapping.Their pivot into branded biscuits wasn’t strategic — it was survival. Two working mothers, limited time, limited kitchen space, and a simple equation: 100 biscuits an hour vs two cakes. Their digital marketing background led them to build a website, and suddenly Google, Amazon, Meta, the BBC and Calvin Klein were ordering logo biscuits baked from their homes while their kids slept upstairs. No investors. No shiny office. Just grit, borrowed canteen space, part‑time working mothers, and a commitment to grow slowly enough to understand every step. As Saskia put it: “We’re the grafters… tiny blood, sweat and tears. Baby steps.”But the heart of their story came during the pandemic. Unable to save lives, they baked — sending free biscuits to nominated loved ones across the UK. The messages that came back changed everything. “We sell that feeling of people feeling closer to that person,” Lisa realised. Kindness became the product. Connection became the mission. Today, The Biskery has reached 300,000 people and is aiming for ten million — one intentional biscuit at a time. Handmade, human, and built around something true. This episode is a masterclass in clarity, co‑foundership, and building in the dark until one day you lift the veil and see something beautiful.</p>

E8: What Happens When You Have The Ambition to IPO
<p>In this episode, we sit down with <strong>Chantal Epp</strong>, the two‑time world champion cheerleader, music tech pioneer and founder of ClicknClear — a business born at the exact intersection of every skill she’s ever had. When a major record label lawsuit hit the cheerleading world, Chantal was the only person who understood both sides of the problem: a cheerleader, a music graduate, and a music licensing expert. As she puts it, “The universe said: here's this thing, you're perfectly capable of solving it. Go and do it.” What followed was a methodical, multi‑year build of a platform that now powers legal music use across global sport.</p><p>We explore the resilience behind her journey — from holding four jobs while building the company, to surviving a pandemic that shut down her entire industry. Instead of pausing, she doubled down: “The commercial part of the business couldn't function, but the foundational work could continue.” That decision meant that when sport returned, ClicknClear was ready — leading to rapid growth, Olympic presentations, and a business now entering what Chantal calls its “teenage phase,” where she’s learning to step back and scale.</p><p>Chantal also opens up about her ambition to IPO — a bold move in a landscape where fewer than ten women lead FTSE 250 companies. She talks candidly about funding (including her iconic run of angel investors all named Dave), the power of non‑dilutive capital, and the communities that keep her grounded. And she leaves us with one of the most honest founder reflections we’ve heard: “You can only do your best until you know better. And sometimes that naivety in the early stages is the thing that lets you begin.”</p><p><br></p>

E7: Let's Talk About Finance
<p>Female finance expert <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/roxanne-goodman-87878745/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Roxanne Goodman</strong></a> joins us for a powerful, myth‑busting conversation about money, funding, and the realities facing women in business. Roxanne shares her unconventional journey from qualified nursery teacher to 20‑years‑deep commercial finance broker, explaining how she “fell into finance by accident” and later founded Female Founder Finance after noticing the “lack of women that we were dealing with” in the industry. Her mission now is to close the knowledge and access gap for women entrepreneurs who are building brilliant businesses but often lack the networks, language, or support that male‑led companies take for granted.</p><p>We dive into the real barriers women face—from confidence gaps to networking limitations to the simple truth that “you don’t know what you don’t know.” Roxanne breaks down the finance jargon that often intimidates founders, sharing stories of women who were offered the wrong products, misunderstood by banks, or left without guidance until they reached crisis point. She explains why cashflow is queen, why overdrafts rarely solve the real problem, and how products like <strong>invoice finance</strong>, <strong>trade finance</strong>, and <strong>supply‑chain funding</strong> can transform a business when used correctly. Her examples—like founders stuck with high‑cost short‑term loans when they actually needed invoice finance—shine a light on how costly the knowledge gap can be.</p><p>Roxanne also champions the importance of community, collaboration, and asking questions without fear. She highlights the rise of women‑only networking groups, the value of scrappy resourcefulness, and the role of CDFIs—Community Development Finance Institutions—in supporting underserved founders with more accessible funding options. This episode is a masterclass in financial empowerment, packed with clarity, compassion, and practical tools every founder should know. Whether you're scaling, starting, or simply trying to understand the money side of your business, Roxanne’s insights will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to take action.</p>
