Episode 11: The Unlikely Entrepreneur - Ekaterina Malievskaia When a mother's love knows no bounds. In this episode of Make or Break, we're joined by Dr. Ekaterina Malievskaia, co-founder and chief innovation officer of COMPASS Pathways, a life science company that develops psilocybin to help people with treatment resistant depression. Malievskaia and her husband, George Goldsmith, first started researching psilocybin - a chemical compound found in magic mushrooms - after an ongoing battle to find adequate help for their son who suffers from severe depression. The couple founded the charity COMPASS Pathways with the hope to get psilocybin approved and the drug to market. However they soon faced an obstacle; they would need to raise an eye-watering sum of $300 million, a task that for any charity would be close to impossible.

Episode 8: Mindful matters - Marc Champagne When popularity doesn't always equate to success. In this episode of Make or Break, we're joined by Marc Champagne, founder of mental health app Kyo, which at its height reached almost 90 million users. A strong advocate for meditation and journaling, Champagne launched Kyo in 2016. It was an instant hit with users and became a regular feature on app-store homepages and ‘top 10s' lists. But all was not as it seemed. Although popular with audiences, the coding was deeply flawed and Champagne just didn't have the means for an overhaul. Was there a way through this or was it time to pull the plug?

In a diverse world, the colour ‘nude' should reflect the people living in it. But lingerie brands have a lot of catching up to do. In this episode of Make or Break, we speak to entrepreneur Ade Hassan, who left her career behind to serve an untapped market in the world of lingerie. Unable to find lingerie or hosiery to match her skin tone, Hassan found herself frustrated.

When it comes to marketing, ‘Go big or go home' is not always the best approach. In this episode of Make or Break, we're joined by Neal Stewart, a marketing mogul who went against the grain to turn around a dying brand. When Stewart took on the role of brand manager for Pabst Brewing Company, their Blue Ribbon beer was in the gutter. But there was one region where the brand was thriving.

Instead, he saw an opportunity to plug into the small, but loyal community who had brought the brand back to life.

A Place For All WHO: Third-generation furniture maker, Jan Christian Vestre, is rethinking the way cities are built. His family company, Vestre, manufactures urban furniture and aims to create public spaces that encourage human interaction. Sustainability lies at the heart of production, and Vestre is committed to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. It is one of the most successful companies of its kind in Europe. DECISION: Vestre was approached by London Council with a lucrative contract to design urban furniture throughout the city, however there was one catch. Vestre was asked to include elements of hostile design within the plans. Vestre faced a quandary, to uphold the company's guiding principle of inclusivity and turn down a quarter of a million pounds or compromise his morals.

The Prawn Sandwich Disaster WHO: In the wake of the 1980s economic boom, Gerald Ratner took over the small family jewellery business. Within just seven years, Ratner had transformed it into a multi-million pound empire and even broke into the American market. The company was immensely popular with the British public as it offered affordable products at bargain prices. Ratner was at the top of his game and had shops on every highstreet. DECISION: In 1991, Ratner was invited to speak at the Institute of Directors conference taking place at the Royal Albert Hall. He sent a draft of his speech to the company heads for approval, and one director advised him to add a couple of gags. In front of 6000 business people and journalists, Ratner read the infamous speech, gags and all. Although the jokes were not intended to offend, the British press had a field day and splashed stories about Ratner's contempt for his customers across the front pages. The public were incensed by his jokes, and felt mocked. The company's shares dropped £500 million in a matter of days. Ratner was eventually fired and would remain penniless and the butt of jokes for years. He would return to the jewellery industry at the turn of the millennium but in a very different format, taking the business online.

Aiming High and Low WHO: In 1997, fashion writer turned entrepreneur, Liz Lange, created the world's first fashion forward maternity brand. Until that point, the fashion world hadn't offered much to expectant mothers. In fact, retailers repeatedly told Lange that women were disinterested in their appearance during pregnancy. But Lange knew better. She went on to establish three wildly successful boutique stores and a cult celebrity following, including the likes of Cindy Crawford, Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Roberts. DECISION: In 2002, Target Corp proposed a lucrative licensing deal with Lange to design inexpensive maternity clothes. Her advisors warned against partnering with the budget-friendly retailer on the grounds that she would lose her cachet and it would damage her high end platform. However Lange decided that women of all budgets deserve to be as empowered as the celebrities she dressed and went ahead with the partnership. Sales rose in all three boutiques and today, Liz Lange Maternity has the largest maternity apparel market share in the US.

This hour, one man who needs to devour as much air as he can and another who's at his best while holding his breath. Air by Neil Sandell (Radiotonic, ABC RN, 2016) Neil Sandell is a man of a certain age, a man who loves to ride his racing bike. But as he gasps for air while climbing a steep mountain road, he wonders, why is he driving himself so hard? After all, he's living his dream—a life on the Cote d'Azur. Does the answer lie with his cycling hero Jens Voigt, a man on a mountain, or somewhere in his past? Dark Blue by Hana Walker-Brown (The Lives of Others, Radio Wolfgang, 2016) Stig Pryds has been free-diving since January 2013 and already within that year, he ranked in the top 10 free-divers worldwide.
