- PEP Talk Sep 2 · 27m How To Start A Business You Love (With The People You Love) - Chris HannawayChris Hannaway founded Infinite Session with his brother Tom in 2018. They set out with a goal of creating an alcohol-free beer that actually tastes like beer, just like you'd find in your local craft brewery. Infinite beers sell worldwide, predominantly in UK and US supermarkets and have won several World Beer Awards, including when judged against alcoholic beers! Unlike alcohol-free beers of the past, Infinite Session is unrestrained. Infinite Session stands for more when alcohol-free beer has always been defined by restriction. They believe that beer is bigger than booze: no more covering labels or whispering orders at the bar. Drinking should be on your terms because the flavour is more important than ABV.

- How To Protect Your Business Online (Get Your Dream Domain) - GoDaddy’s Nick Webster | PEP TalkNick Webster is a Website Security expert and hosting specialist at GoDaddy UK. Understanding the topics discussed today is essential when starting a business and could save you millions in the future. The simplicity and speed of creating websites have increased in recent years. Business owners are now webmasters thanks to content management systems and support from experts like GoDaddy. You may have the question “what is web hosting?” Well, one way is to think of a website like a house. All houses have two related parts: an address and a piece of land where the house sits. Websites work similarly. Domain names are like a house’s street address. It’s where people go to visit your website. Web hosting is like the land where you build your house. This is the space on the Internet where you place your website’s files. Typically, web hosting runs on a server owned by a web hosting company — your web hosting is just a small section of the company’s server. Every website on the Internet, no matter how big or small absolutely must have a domain name and web hosting. In this episode, Nick tells Simon all the ins and outs of website hosting and explains all the fundamentals you need to know to protect your business online. Top Tips: Make sure that you get yourself an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). This will give you a protective layer, just to make sure that no invasive attacks can come in. You will want to make sure that your name is not on the public registry to ensure that your contact details are not listed publicly on the web. GoDaddy Privacy Protection prevents your personal/business details from being freely accessible. Get yourself domain protection, just to make sure that your name is off, and you'll be good to go.

- Why You MUST Sacrifice To Be Successful - Ade Hassan MBE | PEP Talk S3 E22Ade Hassan knew she was onto something with Nubian Skin lingerie when she posted the first product photo on social media and gained one-thousand new followers in a week. It was 2014 and the photo went on to garner over thirty-five thousand notes on Tumblr and over twenty thousand followers on Instagram, in less than a month. The UK-born, London-based founder created the brand to satisfy her own need but the internet’s response let her know that she’d struck a chord. After graduate school, Ade went into a career in finance but couldn’t find suitable skin-tone lingerie and hosiery to go with her wardrobe. If she was experiencing this problem, she imagined that other women of colour had the same need. What she didn’t realise was how immediate the need was. Nubian Skin has had an out-sized influence on the fashion industry, with many other parts of the industry realising the need to be more inclusive. In 2017 Ade was awarded an MBE at Buckingham Palace for services to fashion. The award was made to recognise Ade’s commitment to her mission to redefine nude, and the impact she has consequently made on the fashion industry. In this episode, Ade tells us about the sacrifice that must be made in entrepreneurship, how she found her purpose, how she was awarded an MBE and much more.

- The Scary Skill That Will Change Your Life: Public Speaking - Alex Merry | PEP Talk S3 E15Alex co-founded Champions Life Academy, a sales and marketing organisation that gave students with job experience fundraising for charity, before starting his own business. He spent three months giving daily presentations to university students as part of his job. The chance to develop and organise TEDxClapham, a public speaking community event in South London, presented itself. He accomplished this in conjunction with Champions Life Academy until 2016, when Alex and his colleagues decided to close the firm. He organised a public speaking session for Google Startups Campus, a group of entrepreneurs that come to Google for events, guidance, and mentorship. Following that, 10 individuals signed up for his trial public speaking programme, launching his company. What makes a successful public speaker, according to Alex, can be summed up in one word: empathy. "It has nothing to do with whether you're introverted or extroverted; it's all about empathy and being tuned in to your audience." Simon and Alex examine what it takes to be a world-class speaker in this episode, as well as why purpose comes first in the company. “Don’t let yourself get in the way of the opportunities that get thrown at you, because you never know who’s going to be watching.” Topics: Getting into public speaking Does scale matter?

- How To Turn Your Idea Into A Successful Business: Get A Drip Founder Richard Chambers - PEP Talk S3 E11Richard Chambers got the idea for his company ‘Get A Drip’ after he found himself in intensive care in 2010 suffering complications from his Type 1 Diabetes. Following this admission, Richard was continually in and out of hospital for 7 years due to issues related to a reduced immune system, where often as part of the treatment he would be hooked up to an IV Drip. Feeling the rejuvenating benefits, Richard decided that drips should be accessible to the general public, not just in hospitals or to the super-wealthy. After 7 years of researching the benefits of Drips and studying the work of Dr. John Myers (the vitamin drip pioneer), Get A Drip finally came to fruition in October 2017. Get A Drip is now the UK’s leading Vitamin Drip provider and Richard's aim is to allow everyone to take control of their health, no matter their background as he single-handedly is making optimum nutrition accessible to the masses. In this episode, Richard shows us how he made his unique business idea a reality, as well as what characteristics are essential to becoming successful.

- How To Launch Your Business (The Right Way) - Fills Founder Anna Priadka | PEP Talk S3 E10Manchester-born, Anna Priadka is a make-up artist and founder of Fiils, a luxe hair and body line offering custom refillable, designed to overhaul bathrooms of single use plastic and waste. Anna has been in the beauty industry for over 15 years, working as a makeup artist for some of the largest direct-to-consumer brands such as MAC/Bobbi Brown, and assisting some of the industry’s biggest talents. After being on the front line Anna progressed into a global role with NARS, where she assisted with new product development, artistry, and events direction. It was here that she discovered she had a passion for not just the creative, but the business side – she’d always said that she would like to own her own business and took the chance in 2018, leaving her corporate role to start her first brand in the lip category. The lessons Anna learned from this venture as an entrepreneur were invaluable and although the business was successful in the very short term, she realised it wasn’t sustainable.Anna’s current company, fiils, was born out of her mission to contribute positively to the industry by reducing consumption, as well as a personal need to reduce waste in her own routine. “If you enjoy creating things, creating a brand is actually quite easy. The hardest part is what do you do afterwards? There’s so much more that goes into launching a product and running a business. That was a real struggle for me, but I wouldn’t change anything about my journey.” Topics Becoming an entrepreneur Failure Accelerators Rebranding + building a brand If you could do anything different, what would you do?

- Ending Food Poverty While Stopping Food Waste - Free My Meal Founder Hayley Steere | PEP Talk S3 E8Former single mum Hayley Steere began Free My Meal during Lockdown in 2020, after having a brainwave while seeing how much extra food she had cooked that she wouldn’t eat. She knew lots of people would LOVE to receive a good meal in these tough times, so she set out to create a platform that would allow people to give their spare food to those who need it. That same evening, Free My Meal was born. Free My Meal is a simple and easy exchange, based on trust and goodwill. Using social media, people sign up to private Free My Meal groups as a ‘recipient’ or a ‘cook’, or in some cases, both. Free My Meal does not provide meals, it simply forms connections enabling people to find one. Free My Meal currently has 70+ UK and international groups, and they have 27,000+ group members which continue to grow in numbers every day. To support her family while growing her organisation, Hayley juggles numerous jobs and side-hustles at the same time as focusing on Free My Meal. In this episode, Simon and Hayley discuss how you can pursue a life that you love despite the challenges you may face. “The world’s not going to give you a living, you’ve got to go and make that yourself. Nobody is going to pluck you out of obscurity and give you your lovely life.” Topics: How Free My Meal Began How Free My Meal Works How do you manage to juggle everything?
