Episode 1 - Alice Benham, 20

To set the scene for this episode, I'd initially planned to interview Alice in a random meeting room that I'd booked in Farringdon. It was the first ever podcast recording, I had all this new recording gear (that I was still trying to work out how to use) and was determined that I'd get the series of to a smooth start. When we arrived at said meeting room however, a meeting was going on next door that was so, unbelievably noisy that I ended up calling one of my best friends that I used to work with pre-launching She can. She did. (I knew that her new office was around the corner) and after a quick/desperate beg over the phone at my end, Alice and I packed up shop, legged it down the road and arrived at Lizzie's office (thank you Lizzie!), hijacking one of her boss's glass-fronted meeting booths for this recording. *cue the sweats* Thankfully though, after a quick catch up, the two of us calmed down, the mic was switched on and episode one of the She can. She did. podcast was born!

Chatting about everything from how she accidentally launched her first business at seventeen and what she learnt from the period of burn out that followed; how she finally learnt to value her worth and became comfortable putting a price on her time; to how she's dealt with the reality of running a business when her mental health and things in her personal life haven't always been rosy; what Alice has achieved in three years is something to be admired and thankfully for us, she shares a whole lot of advice!
