This week, I’m on a very different mission as I find myself interviewed by my good friend and soon to be business partner, Billy Farrell, who is one of the few people who has been up close from day one of this crazy adventure. 

For the 75th episode we wanted to do something a bit different so it was my turn to be on the receiving end of the questions. In true Ellie and Billy style, we get deep and meaningful right from the start as Billy probes me for an honest and real insight into the journey. 

People look at what we have achieved within a short space of time and think it must of all been plain sailing but I often use the swan analogy. It may look elegant gliding along but what people don’t see is the hard work underneath the surface.

It’s been a rollercoaster for sure and I always try and share the lows as well as the highs (maybe too much so) but I’m so proud of what Mark Mckay and I have achieved together whilst also knowing that the best is yet to come. 

A real, raw and brutally honest interview. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Those with the biggest dreams and the grandest ambitions, can sometimes feel a sense of isolation. Their dreams do not fit in with what society expects, and it can be a lonely sensation.
• When our backs are against the wall, we discover just how resilient we truly are. When we overcome challenges that knock us down, it makes us even more determined to succeed.
• Many in business face up against challenges and find themselves defeated. But perseverance unlocks the lessons behind those obstacles.
• The definition of success is the attainment of contentment, and the finding of inner peace. Assets and material possessions are nice to have, and can bring pleasure, but the true meaning of success lies far deeper within ourselves.

BEST MOMENTS

'Growing up I always wanted to set the world on fire. I always knew there was more'

'It feels just like a part of a story that i tell. I feel detached from it'

'It takes graft, it takes dedication, it takes discipline, a willingness to fail and to endure that failure'

'Success is very objective. it isn't defined by how many assets you've got'
