This week’s podcast is with Alex Depledge MBE, founder and CEO of Resi, the UK’s leading architectural practice. Alex was awarded an MBE in 2016 for her services to the sharing economy but that’s not all she has achieved. After selling her first company Hassle (Europe’s leading domestic cleaning marketplace) she felt she needed to prove to herself that she wasn’t just a fluke. In the episode she gives some really strong advice about following your dreams - it’s up to you whether you follow it.
