When the very fabric of personal identity weaves into professional endeavors, the result can be as complex as colorful. Our latest episode features a startup founder whose narrative is a testament to the resilience required in the face of crime, health battles, and the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. From the harrowing streets of South Africa to the boardrooms of innovative spaces like Hotjar and Churn FM, Andrew unpacks the lessons learned in audience building, network leveraging, and the perpetual quest for balance. He shares the pressures that come with crafting an identity separate from one's professional achievements while juggling the societal expectation to outdo oneself constantly.

Andrew takes us through his journey, shedding light on the significance of prioritization and strategic focus over time. He reveals how experience begets a tactical approach to growth and the pivotal role that experimentation plays in even the most seasoned founder's playbook. He shares the diversity of his early career and a rich history of diverse roles that ultimately circled back to a profound passion for programming and the creation of life-changing technologies.

Andrew emphasizes a universal truth that resonates with many founders: the unshakable importance of health and well-being in an otherwise demanding professional life. Often seen merely as a physical activity, exercise emerges as a linchpin for mental fortitude in the stressful world of startups. He shares a powerful story of overcoming physical ailments through sheer determination and lifestyle changes, which catalyzed recovery and propelled him forward in conducting his day-to-day approach. This narrative goes beyond just exploring startup success; it's a realistic and honest portrayal of the determination and resilience necessary to manage the challenges of entrepreneurship.

What happens when you build a business centring purpose, people and the planet, over  profit? My inspiring guest this week is Emma Anastasi, the founder of Intheflow, a social enterprise on a mission to change gender-biased discourse around periods, save the planet from excess plastic, and tackle period poverty.

Em reveals some of the shocking statistics around the damage traditional period products are doing to our planet. From the fact that a single use tampon takes between 500/1,000 years to break down, to the stats that show the average menstruating person will use around 15,000  single use products in their lifetime. 

 Intheflow aims to  champion the use of other products like menstruating cups and period pants that are reusable for many months and even years.  

We chat about the challenges of pivoting between businesses and career industries, and not conforming to other people's expectations of your career path. 

Join us as we not only discuss the pressing issues surrounding menstruation and sustainability but also pay homage to the power of passion, purpose, and the people who propel us forward in our mission to make a difference.

This week, I chat to Dr. Claudia, the founder of Bloom Health, a revolutionary new science-backed service tackling the massively overlooked field of chronic pelvic pain in Women's Health. 

As a scientist who suffers with symptoms herself, Claudia was astounded to learn there has been no research at all in this field. We discuss the shocking bias against women in medical research, and the societal taboos that still exist around conditions such as PCOS, Endometriosis, Vulvodynia and Vaginismus. 

Claudia shares her transformative journey from academia to the forefront of women's health innovation, and how she bridges this gap with her work. 

Claudia leads us through the inception of Bloom Health, from the highs of being oversubscribed with customers, to the challenges of raising financial investment for Fem-Tech.

Claudia's aspirations for Bloom Health resonate with the importance of continued research and destigmatization of conditions like vulvodynia. We delve into the power of books in shaping our mental health and strategies, and the role that lifestyle choices play in our overall well-being. This episode promises more than just an interview; it's a revelation of how we've still got a long way to go before systemic prejudices against women are removed. Claudia is truly on a mission to change the world.
