ELSPETH BEARD is the first British female motorcyclist to ever solo ride the globe as well as an award-winning architect. In 1982, at the age of just twenty-three, Elspeth Beard left her family and friends in London and set off alone on a 35,000 mile solo adventure around the world on her 1974 BMW R60/6 with no sponsorship or support, in an age before email, cell phones and satnavs.  

Her two-and-a-half year journey saw her survive life-threatening illnesses and numerous accidents. She witnessed riots and civil uprisings that forced her to fake documents, and she fended off physical threats, sexual attacks, biker gangs, and corrupt police who were convinced that she was trafficking drugs.

Returning home in 1984, Elspeth finished her architecture degree and in 1988 brought a derelict water tower, which she spent seven years converting into her home. She runs her own architectural practice, specialising in creating and remodelling interesting and unusual buildings. She lives in a converted Victorian water tower in the southeast of England and still enjoys riding her collection of motorcycles, which includes the trusty BMW R60/6 which carried her around the world.

Today’s guest is Ella Davidson – founder of The Book Publicist, mum of three, country girl at heart, and someone who’s deeply passionate about the power of purpose.

In this episode, Ella shares the pivotal moment during the pandemic that forced her to stop and reflect. With 90% of her clients gone almost overnight, and three young children at home, she had a decision to make: pause everything—or find a new way forward. She chose purpose. Her team reshaped the way they worked, launched new affordable PR packages, and continued to amplify the voices of authors whose words offered comfort, guidance, and healing in uncertain times.

But this conversation goes much deeper than just business. We explore the idea of making work fit around life—and not the other way around. For Ella, work is a huge part of her identity and excitement, but she also believes that people do their best work when they feel trusted, listened to, and safe to be their whole selves. It's not just about productivity—it’s about joy, authenticity, and connection.

We talk about what it really means to lead with purpose, to build a team culture rooted in happiness and trust, and the importance of stepping away from the constant thinking to reconnect—with nature, with people, and with ourselves.

This is an inspiring, grounded conversation about building a business that flows, creating space for meaning, and leading in a way that feels true.
