Welcome to Speaking of Startups, the brand new podcast from Startups.co.uk, the home of news, inspiration and all-round advice for entrepreneurs, founders, and those looking to launch their own business.
We’re not here to sell a dreamy vision of what starting a business is like. Our guests are founders and entrepreneurs who’ve trod the path, and experienced the good and the bad of those gruelling first days of starting your own venture.
From perfectly planned business models that suddenly got knocked for six by the COVID outbreak, to trying to get retailers and stockists to even understand what your product is and does, these founders have picked up their share of bruises along the way. And they’ve emerged a little wiser, a lot more experienced, and willing to share frank and candid stories from their own journeys.
Speaking of Startups is hosted by Eloise Skinner, who is a published author and the founder of two businesses, as well as a model, teacher and existential therapist. Eloise has written for publications including on Startups.co.uk, as well as Entrepreneur, Business Insider, and Management Today. She’s been interviewed in countless publications, including The New York Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Forbes, Fortune, Vogue, Elle, The Washington Post, GQ, Metro, and Inc. Magazine.

We have some fantastic episodes coming up, as Eloise speaks to founders who’ve encountered every conceivable setback on their journey towards launching their own enterprise. Each has wisdom to impart, lessons to teach, and more than a few horror story moments to share.
We hope you come away inspired and fired up to go for your own venture. Thanks for listening, and be sure to subscribe to get each episode as soon as they’re available!
