This is a podcast about not settling. Full of honest conversations with women who wanted to build their own businesses – and did. If you’re making the incredible decision to start up, shape up or scale up your business, we’ve got you. Because we’re a podcast by, for and about women who do exactly that. Women looking that leap in the eye. Women taking their first steps as founders. Women impatient to scale and grow. Women with stories about the journeys they’ve been on, the hacks that helped and the stuff they’ve seen along the way. Women like us. Women like you. We’re Sarah King and Claire Dunn, founders of we are radikl, and this is The Radiklist.
