EP 26: On leaving a job, growing an online business, becoming a mother and why so many founders fail

Miriam Tyrangiel is the founder of a fast growing online bedding company Undercover. Starting small it grew quickly being picked up by world known publications such as the Stylist, The Sunday Times, Elle Decoration, The Times, The Evening Standard and many more. What did Miriam do to achieve success?    Why do some companies die out and others thrive? We sit down to look into various decisions Miriam made along the way and analyse why Undercover is doing so well.    Another subject we touch upon in this episode is motherhood. In the era of “FLOW” and other concepts created by men who do not give birth in the middle of their careers, working mothers are so badly overlooked. What if you sleep 3 hours a night and then still go to have strategy meetings and make decisions? What if you are trying to look after a small baby but also have to grow a team? All on very little sleep? There are torturing techniques based on sleep deprivation, and yet women are capable of going through that and ALSO building a business. HEROES!   You are not alone. In the “What do people do podcast?” we talk to successful founders about what their days and to-do lists actually look like. We hope you find comfort and reassurance in these conversations.  Some useful links:    Undercover: https://undercoverliving.com/ Online course for founders and freelancers: https://whatdopeopledomag.com/online-course  Huge thanks goes to our sponsors zyro.com: https://zyro.com/lt Use our code DOWHATYOULOVE to get 30% off - you can finally start your DREAM website.
