Project Possible with Rich Leigh - interviews that might just change your life

Show Notes

Karishma Vijay had £7 left, a collapsing business, family pressure, and everything to prove.

Now, the 29 year old founder of beauty brand KishKin has won series 20 of The Apprentice UK, and the £250,000 investment that comes with it.

In her first and only major podcast interview since the win, Karishma opens up about anger, ambition, rejection, resilience, beauty standards, Lord Sugar, and the life she refused to accept.

Interviews that might just change your life. And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.

While we're all trying to be better versions of ourselves, this podcast asks: 'what's truly possible?'

Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment and academia.

Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.

I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after my youngest brother Jordan took his own life.

I realised that I needed to run towards passion and purpose, and my dream of sharing positivity and possibility as a career - this podcast is my effort to do just that. Subscribe wherever you watch or listen.
