On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with the brilliant Katy Leeson - The ex MD of Steven Bartlett's Social Chain. 

Katy’s journey from stepping into Social Chain as ‘the old lady ruining the fun’ (her words, not mine!) to scaling it into a multi-million-pound powerhouse is nothing short of incredible. 

We talk about everything - managing imposter syndrome, leading with care, and why sometimes a phone that’s not plugged in can lead to the biggest opportunities. 

Oh, and there’s plenty of laughter, life lessons, and a few surprises along the way. 

Highlights:

(2:46) Katie's Career Journey and Early Roles

(6:10) Growth and Success at Social Chain

(10:31) Imposter Syndrome and Personal Growth

(19:19) Leadership Style and Personal Life

(31:59) Values and Legacy

(34:10) Some Embarrassing Stories
