How DOES she do it?!

Ep 76: Building businesses and breaking barriers, with Robyn Currie

How DOES she do it?!

Show Notes

In today's episode, I chat with the founder of The Business Nest, Robyn Currie, who shares her remarkable entrepreneurial journey from leaving school at the age of 16, to building multiple successful businesses before turning 30.

In our conversation, Robyn talks of the early start to her career, including launching a business as a side hustle at just 19, and how it eventually led to running a thriving family-friendly café for nearly 10 years.

We also explore how Robyn has gone about building The Business Nest into a vibrant networking community over the last three years, creating the supportive environment she herself was seeking post-pandemic. She also shares the realities of being self-employed whilst navigating motherhood, including why she deliberately brings her children to workshops to show other women that they too can do the same.

Robyn's story offers inspiration for anyone navigating their own entrepreneurial journey; if a major business pivot feels overwhelming, if you're searching for your community, or if you're wondering how to balance business growth with family life, her candid nature and grounded advice provide reassurance that moving forward is possible, even when it feels daunting.

Enjoy the show!
