Description

How does it feel to walk away from one business and build another?
We left off Part 1 of this episode with Alex Marlow, Director of Gym Challenge Meals in what can only be described as a somewhat unfair end to a beautiful journey.
If you have just jumped into this episode and are like Kim WTF are you talking about – head back to the show feed and listen to Part 1 of this episode with Alex.
In this last half of our chat Alex shares a very generous insight into…

The process behind preparing to franchise
Rediscovering yourself through your business
The impact building a business can have on your family
Making incredibly hard choices
And a surprising twist in the plan, one which came up between the time we first scheduled this interview and when we actually chatted.

Make sure you keep listening through to the very end of this episode, as after Alex and I sign off from the interview portion, I’ll be jumping back into your ears to share with you yet another turn in Alex’s journey that happened after we recorded this episode.
It’s powerful, real, and deeply personal. As a fellow business owner this story will get into your heart.

This weekly podcast explores what it’s like to be starting your career over, with the people who’ve done it. In conversation, we tackle the messy middle of changing your life - how it feels to drop the identity of whatever came before and step into a brand new you – with, or without a plan.  Your host is Kim Kerton (hi!) the creator behind the handmade ceramics and plant-based recipes of Good Side of the Bed, a writer, marketer, yoga teacher, sea-changer, rev-head and pug mum. Before all that, Kim spent over a decade in the commercial media business. She decided to walk away, got unemployed and afraid, and here we are. This podcast is for the brave people who want to start over but are feeling the fear - maybe putting off starting because the end isn’t clear - and for those who find themselves right in the middle of the whirlwind. Whether by choice or by push, starting over is scary, Unemployed & Afraid is your tribe on the pathway through change.
