When we were young we used to dream of being anything, whether that be a footballer, the Prime Minister or an astronaut.

But as you get older, your dreams change, focusing less on running the world and more on how you can take your skills and ideas and turn them in something real.

Instead of dreaming of playing for Manchester United or going into space, maybe you start dreaming of owning your own business.

You'll need a website, a payment system, a logo and a way to advertise to new customers.

It can all be overwhelming and confusing.

But thankfully, that is where today's sponsor, Shopify, comes in.

The origins of this podcast were once just a dream.

And that dream turned into the podcast

that you are listening to today. Starting your own business is a dream that lots of us share,

but too many of us let it remain just a dream. Don't hold yourself back by thinking,

what if I don't have the skills, what if I can't do it alone? Turn those what ifs into why

nots with Shopify at your side. Shopify is the commerce platform
