Welcome to The Busi-Ness Podcast.My first guest, and what a guest to kick off me talking at you for an hour, is founder of everyone’s favourite jewellery brand, Missoma. Marisa Hordern founded the infamous brand in 2008, and has seen extraordinary global success. Adorned by the fingers and earlobes of our favourite celebrities, including Kate Bosworth, Ellie Goulding, Margot Robbie, and even a few royals, Missoma has moved with the times, launching a more sustainable collection, a new gender fluid range, and more recently, fine jewellery. Marisa and I caught up about multi-tasking, cracking America, raising money, making bad decisions, why giving yourself moments to breathe is a crucial way to manage the noise + how to build a community outside of just your product range. We talked about the power of celebrity, and social media, why you have to accept that not everyone will work, and that being adventurous is such an important skill for a modern entrepreneur. Marisa is really open and honest about her journey, and I hope you feel inspired by all that she has achieved.

Welcome to the Busi-Ness Podcast.In our next episode, I catch up with Lucas London, founder of the UK’s hottest home decorating company, Lick. Lucas and I sat down shortly after the brand announced a £15million funding round, which will be used to grow the business globally. We chatted about a range of different topics, including how to navigate a co-founder partnership, overcoming challenges in a start up, dealing with competition + why Lick is championing female investors. Lucas talked candidly about anxiety, and how Councelling has really helped him manage the stress of running such a fast paced business. I loved speaking to Lucas, and I hope you enjoy listening to his inspiring story.
