How do two best friends of 30 years build a business together, and what does it really take to go from zero to 23 years of entrepreneurship?In this first episode of Real Talk Real Hustle, we introduce ourselves, our story, and the business we've built together: Barney Bears Nursery, a Children's Day Nurseries group with two locations in East London.We take you back to the very beginning: two young women straight out of college, working agency shifts across London, finding our inspiration, navigating neurodivergency, imposter syndrome, feelings of inferiority, and making the bold decision at just 23, with no savings, no business qualifications, and nothing but hunger and drive, to open our own nursery.23 years later, we're here to share it all. The wins, the pivots, the lows, and the lessons. Whether you're an entrepreneur or just someone who loves a real story told honestly, this podcast is for you.Timestamps 00:01:30 - Who's Sarah? 00:02:30 - Who's Leah? 00:03:30 - What's the business? 00:05:15 - How did we meet? 00:13:00 - First steps into the industry 00:21:00 - Opening a business and taking the leapConnect with the Pod Podcast Instagram: @real.talk.real.hustleKeywords: real talk real hustle, female entrepreneur podcast, business podcast, children's nursery business, how to start a business, female founders, entrepreneurship journey, friendship and business, startup story, business without qualifications, women in business, small business UK.
