Have you always wanted to start your own business?  Where do you even begin?!  What are your biggest fears and would it be worth it in the end? In our next two episodes of Creative Couch, we will be focusing on the startup scene.

In this episode, we are joined by special guests Michel Garvey, founder of Foodprint, Hollie Arnett, founder of Maker & Moxie, and Luke Sinclair, founder of FTN Motion. Together we will explore the pros and cons of diving into the unknown and following your dreams. We discuss and reflect on how starting a business can change your life, relationships and views on business culture, whilst always gently reminding ourselves that everybody's journey is unique.  This episode of Creative Couch is hostedby Ben Hamm Conard, Startup Programme Manager at Creative HQ.
