Help! I'm in my Twenties
Alex Pennington: Lawyer to Co-Founder
Today we are welcoming Alex Pennington, previously a lawyer and now a co-founder of Finish & Feast, a fine dining at home company. Alex has such an interesting story, taking a risk in leaving his role just as Covid-19 took hold. His next steps were a Food Instagram and now a whole new company, which is just going through its first capital raise. This is such an interesting story and I think you’ll enjoy it.
In this episode, we cover becoming a lawyer, working abroad, jumping into the unknown and co-founding a company with your friend, and so much more.

Alongside her own art, Emma works in a Bronze Foundry, which she describes as "it's basically painting metal - but with fire"!In this episode, we touch on so much from degree choices to prop & set production, jewellery making, sculptures, paintings, patina, exhibitions, physical and mental health and the support we get from others - and how important that it.Don't forget to like, comment & subscribe so you don't miss out on the next episodes.
