Summary

It’s that time already - Holly’s Christmas special!

Every festive season, Holly sits down and reflects on all of the wonderfully inspirational conversations she has had with guests throughout the year and it’s her absolute pleasure to take you on this journey with her.

In the last episode of 2021, Holly revisits some of her most favourite guests and anecdotes from throughout the year. From David Hieatt, Jake Humphrey and Bobbi Brown to Anya Hindmarch and John Timpson, each guest shares their insights, wisdom and lessons that they live by as they seek to build successful brands as well as a life they love.

Also in this collection, is a very special conversation with Holly, her beloved husband Frank and incredible son Harry, who each share their experiences of having a wife and mother who chose to live a life less ordinary, as a founder herself.

For a final Christmas treat, this episode culminates, not just one but two of Holly’s favourite ‘letters to my younger self’, so have your tissues at the ready and prepare to take a trip down memory lane.

0:00.0	Well, I have to say, today is one of my favourite moments of the year because it's this time
0:05.0	where I get to stop, sit down, have a cup of tea and hand and revisit some of my favourite
0:11.0	conversations of the past 12 months. And this year, I have spoken to some truly exceptional
0:17.9	and inspirational founders, true visionaries who inspire me personally as I navigate my own
0:24.4	business journey. As entrepreneurs, your learning is never done, it never stops and that's part
0:30.7	of its true magic of this path less travelled. Surrounding yourself with new ideas, knowledge,
0:37.2	creative approaches to problems is all in our blood. We're magnets to it. But hearing the
0:44.0	individual stories from founders of some of the UK's best known brands, it's tonic for the soul.
0:54.4	I'm Holly Tucker and welcome to Conversations of Inspiration. Back in 2006, I founded Not on the High
1:06.2	Street for my kitchen table and since then I've gone on to launch Holly and Co. I'm the UK Ambassador
1:12.8	of Creative Small Businesses and I believe that having a business doing what you love is the key
1:18.5	to a happy fulfilled life. My dream is to help everybody start theirs. I'm here to offer advice,
1:25.8	inspiration, wisdom and encouragement and in my view, the best way to do this is by sharing stories.
1:34.0	So I've reached out to my favourite small businesses, entrepreneurs and those who simply inspire me
1:40.6	and ask them to share theirs. With thanks to Dell Technologies who've helped bring this free
1:46.5	podcast to life. Here are my Conversations of Inspiration. Later on we'll be hearing from Bobby Brown
1:55.0	and Sir John Simpson to name just two. But I wanted to start with David Hyatt and man who I think
2:01.3	will have inspired many of you through his book collection, The Doobooks. An entrepreneur who's
2:06.9	always been ahead of his time, he now runs the brand Hyatt Denham and it's his deep understanding
2:12.5	of brand that fascinates me. His utter belief in the intrinsic tie between human connection
2:19.6	and brand. I love this entire conversation and it showed me I have so much still to learn.
2:26.5	I am just a student and I'm also lucky enough to be collecting all these insights for us to soak up.
