051 Interview: Ellie McKay

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast.   In this episode I’m joined by the host of the “On a mission” podcast, Ellie McKay.    “The more you learn, the more you learn you know nothing!”   As the host of her own podcast that is regularly in the top 3 downloads in its genre, there was never a moment’s doubt that Ellie would be an amazing guest.    Listen now for an uplifting and entertaining hour Ellie talks about her breathtaking journey from life as a 19 year old high flying sales leader, via the brink of bankruptcy, to the successful owner of multiple businesses and host of a chart topping podcast.    If you have ever felt like it’s too late to change your life, or that you’ll “never be as lucky” as those who inspire you, this episode will challenge that perspective.    As a child, Ellie saw the impact of business when it goes wrong. As a result she had never considered business to be an option for her life. In fact, at one point she even fancied herself as the next Kate Adie.   However, there was no fighting her entrepreneurial genes! In the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity Ellie, along with her husband Mark, has created a level of success most people only ever dream of.     In this episode we explore the life changing epiphanies Ellie has experienced and why she believes it’s OK to make mistakes - as long as you don’t keep making the same ones!   This frank, funny and occasionally sweary episode includes a little oversharing and a lot of insights that will inspire you to keep going, keep upgrading and “just f*&%ing do it”.   If you enjoyed listening to Ellie, click here to connect on LinkedIn.   If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/
