Welcome to Anything But Ordinary
In this inspiring episode of Anything But Ordinary, Zoe sits down with Sian Haley, founder of Opulent Miles, to unpack the realities of building a business in the ultra-luxury travel world, where exceptional service, resilience, and authenticity are everything.
From managing high-pressure, last-minute requests for elite clients to navigating the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship, Sian shares what it really takes to succeed behind the scenes of a business that looks glamorous from the outside.
She opens up about how growing up surrounded by luxury and family-run businesses shaped her entrepreneurial mindset, the lessons she learned from the rise and fall of her previous fashion venture My Best Friend’s Wardrobe, and how personal loss, resilience, and staying true to her values have all played a huge role in the woman and business leader she is today.
This conversation dives into the sacrifices that come with entrepreneurship, the power of building genuine relationships, and why luxury is about far more than aesthetics — it’s about trust, discretion, and delivering unforgettable experiences.
Sian also shares her innovative business model designed to help others monetise travel and create financial freedom, while empowering more women to build lives and businesses on their own terms.
This is a powerful conversation about ambition, resilience, reinvention, and what it really means to create something extraordinary.
