Stories That Sell Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Some people build a life based on routine and rules. Others follow instinct, take risks, and create something completely their own.

In this episode of Stories That Sell, I’m joined by Sophie Foote, and her story is one that doesn’t follow the usual path.

What started as a life of travel and saying yes to opportunities across Southeast Asia turned into something most people wouldn’t even consider. 

Buying a beach in Indonesia online and building a diving resort from scratch with her husband.

Living off-grid, raising a young family, running the day-to-day of a business in a completely unfamiliar environment, and handling whatever came next. 

Including moments that feel unreal, like holding back a jungle fire with a palm leaf while her baby slept nearby .

After five years, they sold the resort and returned to the UK, where Sophie later built and sold another business, this time in property.

Now, Sophie spends her time helping other business owners step back, look at what they’ve built, and shape it into something that gives them more freedom and multiple income streams.

This conversation is inspiring, eye-opening, and will likely shift how you think about taking risks, making decisions, and backing yourself in business.

Some people build careers step by step. Others follow instinct, take risks, and create something completely their own.

In this episode of Stories that Sell with Franchise Consultant Jess Wesson, aka Jolly Jess, we unpack a journey that moves from stage lights to scaling a national business.

What started as a simple suggestion to “add more skills" into a career of dance, theatre and performance, turned into fire breathing, circus performance, and eventually building an award-winning children’s business, Showtime Circus, that grew into a nationwide franchise.

Now, alongside Showtime Circus, Jess helps other business owners franchise or license their own business. 

This conversation is honest, energetic, and full of moments that will make you rethink what’s actually possible when you stop waiting for the “right” path.
