Why Not Now! Podcast S1E1 BONUS EPISODE
Show notes
In this bonus edition of Episode One, Chloe Everton and Emma Elston MBE continue their warm, funny and refreshingly honest conversation about building a business, raising a family and juggling the many roles women take on every day.
Emma shares the reality of building UKCM while raising two young boys, including the terrifying Christmas Eve when cash-flow problems meant putting the family home on the line to ensure her staff were paid. Chloe reveals the painful lesson she learned after being thrown into live breaking-news coverage at Sky Sports News, with no script and very little knowledge of cricket.
They also explore failure, resilience, imposter syndrome, education, AI and the power of giving people a chance, including Emma’s remarkable story about hiring a man wearing an ankle tag who went on to remain with the company for ten years.
Honest stories, hard-earned lessons and plenty of laughs, because every story is different, but they all begin with one simple question: Why Not Now!
