"But look how far you've come" with Angela De Souza

On today's podcast, we have Angela De Souza. She's CEO of The Women's Business Club, a networking program that is in over 90 countries. Even though the name may seem limiting, The Women’s Business Club is multifaceted, with Angela’s goal to do business networking different than the traditional way. Beyond the networking club they also do training workshops, conferences, magazines, and even their own podcast. Today, Angela speaks about what brought her to this stage. How her multicultural upbringing shaped her worldview, how going to university is not always the path you should take, and how her diverse working history still impacts the way she conducts business today. She gives her advice to women entrepreneurs and business owners by talking about the importance of financial literacy, sharing her experience with investors, borrowing, taking out loans and bootstrapping. Angela wants to uplift our viewers and teach them that no matter when you start, you can still become a success.

Only 1 in 3 UK entrepreneurs are female.

If UK women matched UK men in starting and scaling businesses, it would add £250 billion to the UK economy (Alison Rose, The Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship 2018)
