## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with Brooke Cooper, founder of 27 Talent, to have one of the most honest conversations we've had on this podcast for a while. After building a rec-to-rec business from £0 to over £650K in revenue, Brooke went into Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation in February 2026 with a four-month-old baby at home. Brooke had the courage to share her whole experience with us.
