Episode 2 - Introducing The Building A Bigger Table Podcast

Welcome to Building a Bigger Table The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income.    In This Episode: Introducing the Building a Bigger Table Podcast! Listen up as I share with you my ‘why’ behind this podcast and my reasons for launching it. I believe everyone should have a seat at the table, and if you agree with me, this show is going to be right up your street … I created this podcast to address one fundamental question: “How can we all build a bigger table? Not just for ourselves, but for everyone?” ... because the truth is, society doesn't stack the odds in everyone's favour. Whether it's your race, your age, your gender, or your background, real equity is a long way off for most of us, but I'm on a mission to change that.  I might have money now, but that was not always the case, and if you tune in this episode, you’ll hear the reason I decided to change not only my life, but the lives of many others too.  On this show I’ll be revealing exactly how I did that, and how you can as well. I won't be sharing dry business advice or vanilla interviews (yawn!) ... Instead, I'm going to be digging deep with guests who've made it for themselves from the ground up. If motivation’s what you’re searching for - look no further.   Key Takeaways: Society doesn’t stack the odds in everyone’s favour If you want to change your life, you have to stand up and be counted There’s no limit to how big the table can be This podcast has practical advice AND straight up motivation   Quotes: “I realised that if I wanted to change my life, let alone the world, I had to stand up and be counted.” “I had a choice – believe the statistics or screw the statistics. I chose the latter, and you can too.” “Whether it's your race, your age, your gender, or your background, real equity is a long way off for most of us, but I'm on a mission to change that.”   Meet Your Host: Hi, I’m Shaa. I’ve been called a serial entrepreneur … but I’ve never been one for labels! I’ve done SO many things in my career, including starting and scaling multiple 7 figure businesses, and am grateful for being recognised with some lovely awards - most proudly, an MBE from The Queen “for Services to Business and Entrepreneurship”. I’ve been featured in major publications for my efforts (named one of the UK’s Top 20 Most Influential Entrepreneurs by The Sunday Times and one of the ‘Most Influential Women in the UK" by the Institute of Directors), and have written 4 straight-talking, bestselling books; Stop Talking, Start Doing; Stop Talking, Start Doing Action Book, Do Less, Get More; and most recently, How To Fix Your Sh*t.   Where To Find Shaa: Website - https://www.shaa.com/ Facebook - https://en-gb.facebook.com/shaawasmund/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shaawasmund/

Shaa is the original misfit, maverick and magic maker.  Despite an Economics degree from The London School of Economics and a proud recipient of an MBE from The Queen, her real talents come from the school of hard knocks. Growing up on a council estate, Shaa learnt early on, that the only way to level the playing field was to first believe you could. Then go all in on making it happen.  Shaa’s first book, "Stop Talking Start Doing" became WHSmith's #1 Bestselling Business Book for 14 months in a row, breaking all industry records.  Shaa has never been one to sit on the fence or rest on her laurels and today her sole mission is to level the playing field and create real social mobility for all. The Sunday Times recently named her as “One of the top 20 most influential entrepreneurs in the UK”.
