On this week's episode we speak to the lovely Ellie Kime - a messaging mentor and copywriter who's self proclaimed professionally nosy.

From starting her business straight out of uni, to how her internal and external why impacts the way she operates - this episode is jam packed with insights and tips for all that are running, growing or thinking about starting a small business

Ellie Kime is a messaging mentor and copywriter who helps small business owners explain who they are, what they do, and why they’re so good at it.

For 5 years she co-hosted a Spotify Top 10% podcast, RE: The Podcast, and has worked with companies like Pinterest, notonthehighstreet.com, and thortful.

Her last name rhymes with time, lime, and, fittingly, rhyme.
