[Episode 65] Are you living your dream? After 16 years in catering, Christine Palmer is proof that you can change your career and unleash your entrepreneurial spirit

If you need one reason to tune in to this week’s episode, it’s this: Joy Foster, our fearless leader, says this episode is one of her favourites of the year 🤯. And, ladies, Joy’s right on the money – this episode is a corker.  Christine Palmer’s story will sound familiar, we’re sure. Having got comfortable in a career that was no longer challenging her, she did what many are too scared to contemplate: she said hello to her fears about the business start-up costs and a drop in salary and gave them the famous TechPixies’ karate kick in the chops.  And now Christine has unleashed her entrepreneurial spirit, there’s no stopping her. Having launched a doggy-inspired sustainable t-shirt business called Olive & Ozzie Too (we’re animal mad here at TechPixies HQ, so this is right up our street), Christine is all set to get her online course off the ground – she’ll be helping business leaders better manage their staff.  We love that Christine’s dogs– a Jack Russell called Olive, and Ozzie, a labrador pup (they have their own Instagram account 😍) – inspired her t-shirts, and we adore how the t-shirts feature designs illustrated by her daughter.
