The Vanessa Podcast EP6: UK Unemployment hits 4 year high; Europe fails start-ups & the truth about being a Founder

🎙️ The Vanessa Podcast | EP 6: UK Unemployment hits 4 year high; Europe fails start-ups & the truth about being a Founder

I’m back after a whirlwind few weeks (8 flights in 10 days — never again!) and sharing something very real:

Introducing The Founder Diaries: a new series within the podcast where I take you behind the scenes of what it’s really like building a global business with no privilege, no shortcuts, and no deep pockets: just grit and my bare hands.

In this episode, we unpack:

✅ The UK’s unemployment hitting a 4-year high :what this means if you’re job hunting or about to graduate.

✅ Why Europe and the UK keep failing to scale startups and why I believe founders with big dreams should look elsewhere.

✅ Rachel Reeves’ bleak economic update :why the UK’s economy is still shrinking, and what it means for your wallet.

✅ The hard truths about side hustles:why everyone needs one, why managers must stop the stigma, and how to protect yourself financially.

✅ Founder Diaries: The honest truth about launching businesses in tough markets "what it really takes, how to stay resilient when copycats appear, and why working for free at first is sometimes inevitable.

My takeaway this week:

This episode is about giving you real tools: the transferable skills that will make you irreplaceable (strategy, influence, communication, stakeholder management, and personal branding) and the mindset to navigate this economy without losing yourself.
