Building a successful business is tough. Most people take many years and several attempts before they manage to get a business off the ground. Now imagine launching yours at the age of 17, scaling it to six figures, then attracting the attention of a famous billionaire like Lord Alan Sugar all before you turn 19. That’s exactly what Amani did!
On this week’s episode I sit down with the wonderful Amani Zubair, who is the founder of jewellery brand Tresor and also happens to be Alan Sugar’s youngest ever business partner. Being a young and successful entrepreneur is easy to glamourise but we discussed all the sacrifices, challenges and isolating experiences that a young, successful woman has to endure.
We wanted to find out a bit more about Marnie beyond the business. We loved having this conversation and hope you enjoy it too!

On this week's episode of the Loose Change Podcast I speak to my friend Karmen Tang about the idea of taking agency of your own life again. Karmen herself trained as an accountant, lived and worked in London before moving to Singapore and making some choices to take more ownership of her journey.
