In this week’s episode, Martin McQuillan sits down with fashion designer and entrepreneur Kirsty Doyle to explore the twists and turns of building a creative business from the ground up. From launching her brand to navigating the highs and lows of running it, Kirsty shares her journey with warmth, humour, and honesty. 

We hear about Kirsty's time growing up in Anfield, the kind of nurturing childhood that helped her become a creative businesswoman and what it was that really made her stand out from the crowd from early on.

This episode was recorded a few months' back just as Kirsty was stepping away from her original fashion company to begin her exciting new venture: The KD Club.

Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or just love to know more about the journey others have been on, this conversation will leave you inspired.
