In our last podcast of 2021 we're joined by Urenna Okonkwo, the woman shaking up how consumers budget for and buy luxury fashion.  She founded her app Cashmere in 2018 after a run-in with a pair of designer shoes that she desperately wanted but didn't want to dip into her savings for - a feeling I definitely resonate with.  The idea for Cashmere was born, and Urenna has now created an innovative social saving platform that helps trend-obsessed young shoppers save towards and purchase designer pieces without turning to credit cards or pay-later services.

This week we are joined by Steph Douglas, Founder of Don't Buy Her Flowers.  Steph Douglas founded Don't Buy Her Flowers in 2014, leaving her brand marketing role, to pursue an idea she had following the birth of her children.  After receiving eight bunches of flowers when she had her first baby, Steph realised the well-meaning bouquet soon lost its shine when you were the one filling vases, all while juggling a newborn and feeling overwhelmed. Steph started sending building packages to her friends who were also managing the early days of motherhood, and she saw the delight, and real emotion a thoughtful package, tailored specifically to encourage them to take a bit of time for themselves, could bring.  With a background in corporate brand marketing, Steph knew she could “sell” a product. But the journey to building a retail business was new and unnerving; despite admitting she's never worked harder in her life, it has always felt exactly like the right path. Originally launching for new mums, the company now offers packages for all occasions, including gifts for him, workplaces, couples and more.  Insta: @dontbuyherflowers Twitter: @dbhfgifts Facebook: www.facebook.com/dontbuyherflowers  In this episode Steph and Coni discuss: Taking the leap from corporate to self-employment  Growing a business whilst juggling little people Having difficult conversations with your partner on sharing responsibility Bootstrapping your product based business and considering investment  Growing your team and getting over the fear of the first hire The impact of covid on the business's growth and success Steph's top tips for a product based business owners   We hope you enjoy.

Our guest this week is Emilie Bellet who is the founder and CEO of Vestpod, the author of Amazon bestseller You're Not Broke, You're Pre-Rich and host of The Wallet podcast. Formerly working in private equity, Emilie launched Vestpod to change the conversation about money and empower women financially. Emilie started her career in private equity banking and through reflecting on her years working in finance, realized she was not saving or investing enough and could not find the support to do so. She then decided to launch Vestpod for women - as a way to provide education and a community for women to start breaking the taboo around money. Vestpod is a digital platform with a popular weekly newsletter as well as personal finance workshops and networking events.  Emilie frequently organises finance talks for corporates and has been speaking at events (AllBright, Ellevate, Harper's Bazaar Summit,...) and book festivals (Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Birmingham). Emilie also co-authored The WealthTech Book and has been included in the FinTech Powerlist 2019 ("Rising Stars") and is a finalist in the 2018 Women in Finance Awards (“Disruptor of the year”). Emilie is a columnist for i Paper, and has been featured in the likes of Financial Times, Forbes, BBC News, Financial Times, Vogue, Glamour, Refinery29, Stylist, Sheerluxe, Monocle and Courier Magazine to name a few. In this episode Emilie shares her journey from finance to entrepreneurship whilst also juggling little people. We talk about work life balance, building a business organically and the challenges that come with being a working mother in the entrepreneurial space. Emilie shares how she built Vestpod and why she built it for women specifically, she talks about why it's so important we understand our relationship with money as well as practical tips for those looking to get out of debt, save for a rainy day and invest for their future. We hope you enjoy.   Find out more about and with Emilie Bellet Web:  https://www.vestpod.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/vestpod/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ebellet/?originalSubdomain=uk Podcast: https://www.vestpod.com/podcast  Resources Hargreaves and Lansdown app Boring Money You're not broke you're Pre-rich How to Save It by Bola Sol Let's talk money by Monika Halan    To find out more about this podcast and to nominate a guest visit www.foundflourish.co.uk/podcast.
