How To Build A Community Around Your Business - The Pressure is On

The Pressure Is On | Real Talk Real Hustle Ep. 3 We've got the keys. We've got the building. Now we've got 12 weeks to turn a derelict Victorian doctor's surgery into a fully operational nursery, with £25,000, no salaries, and two families who gave up their lives to help us make it happen. In episode 3, we get into the reality of the build-up to opening day. The survival budgets. The waiting list we built while the walls were still being replastered. We talk about the power of community, the courage it takes to collaborate with your competition, and what it really means to back yourself so hard you never even write a Plan B. This is the episode where it all gets very real.
