Summary

What starts with cash-in-hand dog walking and ends with a £2M agency exit? But behind the shiny headline is the reality most people don’t talk about. Long nights, hard lessons, and the mental load of leading from the front. Kathryn Strachan joins me to talk about what actually goes into building something that lasts. Breaking into marketing from scratch, scaling fast, burning out faster, and learning how to lead along the way. No fluff or founder fairytales. Just the good, the bad, and the bits most people skip over. Pick up a copy of her book 'Scaling Success: How to build a brand that breaks barriers' here Hosted on Acast.
