Hello, friends, and welcome to Wabi-Sabi podcast.

This is episode 31.

I have a very special guest today.

She sounds exactly like me.

You're not going to be able to tell who's talking.

Well, if you get closer to the mic, people might be able to tell us apart.

My big sister, Jenny G., Jenny Gwistowski, Jenny Kumai, Guzdowski, grew up with me here in San Diego, California, and we're both home for the holiday,

and I thought that she'd be an awesome guest because I look up to Jenny, and she's one

of the very few women that I actually look up to. She started her own business many years

ago in London. So for those of you looking for inspiration,

and if you feel stuck and you're like just feeling like you don't know what to do next with your

life, I brought my sister on as a gift for all of us this holiday because she has navigated

her way not only to entrepreneurship on her own, but she's doing it in another

country. So if you think that you have it shitty, you don't. So Jenny, tell us a little bit

about your journey. Maybe a lot of our listeners are a little bit stuck, and especially with New Year's around the corner.

What kind of inspo or goals or sort of, what kind of advice would you give to young girls who want to start their own business like you did successfully?

So... girls who want to start their own business like you did successfully. So I run, for those of you who don't know me, and a lot of you don't, I run the London

Bike Kitchen. It's a DIY bike workshop in London. We've been going for six and a half years now. We teach people how to fix their own

bikes through classes, drop-in sessions. We do a woman and gender variant night twice a month.

And the whole goal is to get more people riding bikes. And the idea is that if you understand the way your bike works then the less afraid

you are going to be of it and more likely to ride it and take care of it and get other people

jazzed about it. I definitely wasn't always into bikes. We grew up here riding around and it was quite fun.
