    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    In this episode of Scale HER Up, I'm joined by Nyasha Mangaba — managing director of Potters Healthcare Limited and co-founder, with her husband, of the Mani Group: a portfolio of businesses operating across Scotland, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, and Mauritius. I invited Nyasha to talk about Potters Healthcare. What I got was rather more than that. In Scotland, Potters Healthcare and sister company Mighty Care provide social support and home care to nearly 500 elderly service users across the

    Read excerpt

    In this episode of Scale HER Up, I'm joined by Ros Marshall — managing director and co-founder of Molke Limited, an ethical underwear brand manufactured in Scone, rural Perthshire, now shipping to 72 countries worldwide. You might not have heard of Molke. You should have. They make comfortable, supportive, non-wired bras in a size range that runs from a 26 band to a 54 band, and up to a P cup. They've been going since 2016. They have a Facebook community of 12 to 13,000 members. And everything i

    She Just Needed to Be at the School Gates at 4pm: Cecilia Grigor on Building a 10-Person Remote Marketing Agency, Navigating AI, and Why She's Not Sinking (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    In this episode of Scale HER Up, I'm joined by Cecilia Grigor, director of Planitt Scotland Limited — a marketing partner (she doesn't like the word agency) based in Inverness, now in its 13th year, with 10 staff working fully remotely from across the UK. Cecilia started the business by herself, in a single room at home, because she needed to be at the school gates at 4 o'clock. What started as a single mum doing "whatever needed done" for clients who didn't know what to do with their marketing

    Her Baby Bouncer Was in Her Grandfather's Office: Dominique Dawson on 70 Years of Finnies, Lessons from Harrods, and Why Nobody on Her Team Has Ever Worked on Commission (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    In this episode of Scale HER Up, I'm joined by Dominique Dawson — director of Finnies the Jeweller in Aberdeen, and, as I realised partway through this conversation, the first third-generation female business owner I've ever interviewed in 170-plus episodes. Dominique's grandparents founded Finnies. Her mum and uncle ran it. Now Dominique and her brother are the third generation. And next year, the business turns 70. Her baby bouncer was installed in her grandfather's office. She went on to get

    The Burnout Nobody Saw Coming — Including Her: Emma Hutton on What Breaks High-Performing Leaders, How to Spot It, and What's Waiting on the Other Side (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    In this episode of Scale HER Up, I'm joined by Emma Hutton — a social justice leader with over 20 years of experience, and until March of this year, the Chief Executive of JustRight Scotland. Emma left that role after burning out. She's sharing her story on this podcast for the same reason she wrote a long, honest article about it on LinkedIn: because she thinks she might have recognized the signs earlier if she'd seen someone else describe it first. This is not a business episode in the usual s
