The Untold Podcast

Running a business is one thing. Holding your shit together while doing school runs, chasing invoices, and being “fine” all the time? That’s another level.

In Part 2, Kelly and Danielle talk:

• Crying in secret vs. showing vulnerability
• What it's like when YOU are the brand
• The unspoken pressure of being a mum and a boss
• How their partners carry the load (and don’t always get the credit)

It’s raw. It’s relatable. And it might...

This isn’t a TED Talk. This is two real women, running real businesses, talking about the messy, emotional, and brutally honest side of building something from scratch.

Kelly owns two florist shops. Danielle runs an award-winning bathroom studio. Together, they open up about:

• What no one tells you about juggling motherhood and business
• Feeling like you’re failing… even when you’re winning
• Why they almost broke down (but didn’t)
• And ...

This might be the most important episode we've ever recorded.

Ash and Chris dive headfirst into the brutal reality of men’s mental health—from financial pressure and toxic masculinity to the silent suffering most men carry every day. This raw, emotional and honest episode pulls no punches. We talk about debt, divorce, addiction, suicide, social media, and why so many men feel like they’re barely holding it together.

But more imp...

This episode gets real about AI—from productivity hacks and business wins to the scary truth behind what it’s capable of.

Ash, Des and Chris go deep on:

• Whether AI is stealing jobs or saving time
• The insane things it can already do
• How it’s changing business, learning, even parenting
• And whether we’re heading for an AI apocalypse (seriously)

It’s funny, honest, and a little bit terrifying.

We sat down thinking this episode would be about how men are the rocks of the family — the providers, the strong ones, the ones who don't break.
But somewhere along the conversation, something shifted.

We realised...
 We’re not the real rocks.
The women in our lives — our wives, our partners, our mums — they are.

They’re the ones carrying the invisible weight every single day, holding the family together, picking u...
