Becky Avery on building a business your own way

This week I'm chatting to my friend, and candle-maker, Becky Avery from Hazel & Blue. Over the last few years Becky has grown Hazel and Blue from selling in local markets while working for the NHS full-time, to being a Not On The High street partner and sold in many shops around the South-West. We talked about how she has done this, the trend towards kits and things you can make yourself, how social media doesn’t come naturally to her, and running in your own way. I adore Becky's enthusiasm for her business and the life she has created, and find it really inspiring. And I hope you do too!

Om Podcasten

There Are Other Ways is a weekly podcast for people brave enough to explore a less well-trodden path in life. Hosted by Fiona Barrows, each episode features an interview with someone who is living life a little differently, and offers support, insight and inspiration for listeners keen to do the same. Whether it's travelling the world, setting up your own creative business, or simply refusing to judge yourself by someone else's definition of success, doing things differently can be scary, lonely and confusing. But hearing other people's stories of how they have done it, and lived to tell the tale, can help. That's what this podcast is for.
