Today's guest is Jasmin Dhillon, an ACCA-qualified accountant who built her early career at global brands including Starbucks and CBRE before carving out a thriving path in property.

In this episode we explore creativity in business and the unexpected ways it shows up in how we make money. Jasmin shares how she weaves creativity into her property career and challenges assumptions about what creativity looks like, particularly for women of colour navigating an industry that doesn't always reflect them.

She started investing eight years ago, launched her own Airbnb management business. Alongside her property ventures she co-hosts a podcast championing women in property and is a passionate advocate for public speaking and financial education, using her platform to build diversity, confidence and community across the industry.

In this episode Angela sits down with Kira Matthews (Kira the Bold), a creative coach who helps people pitch themselves to brands and overcome rejection.

Kira shares how a viral post about audacity took her from 5,000 to 25,000 followers in a month and what that number really means to her. She talks candidly about leaving a fast paced career in fashion styling that wore down her self esteem and building a coaching business from scratch when nobody around her thought it was a good idea.

The conversation digs into the client relationship building process behind partnerships and why following up isn't pushy, it's just good business.

Kira also opens up about confidence, being neurodivergent and feeling emotions deeply, growing up working class in East London and navigating the fashion industry as a black woman. She closes with practical advice on building social and cultural capital when you don't have generational wealth behind you, plus details on her upcoming three day event in East London this September.

What does it look like to build a marketing agency, run sell-out networking events, mentor young creatives and go into schools to teach kids how to start businesses – all before your 21st birthday? Meet Kemar Sisimayi-Dyke of Nova Connects.

In this episode Kemar shares how a viral TikTok jewellery brand led him to discover his real purpose, why he sold it and what that decision taught him about doing things for the right reasons. We talk about the story behind the Nova name, his Building Brands Through Connection networking events, working with names like the Sidemen and Elephant Man and the school workshops where kids go from nervous to pitching their own businesses in a matter of weeks.

Honest, energising and full of the kind of insight you don't expect from someone who just turned twenty.
