Ever had a business idea and thought… ‘This could actually be something BIG?’

Today’s guest on Growth Addicts proves that yes, it absolutely can.

This week, I’m joined by Maxine Laceby, the co-founder of Absolute Collagen, a brand that went from a home kitchen bone broth experiment to a multi-million pound beauty business.

But it didn’t happen overnight.

In this episode, Maxine shares:

  • How her DIY bone broth led to a game-changing discovery
  • The moment she realised her small business could go BIG
  • Why fear never held her back
  • The best money she ever spent on her business (and why it was investment!)
  • How knowing her ideal client guides every business decision
  • The role of social media in scaling Absolute Collagen
  • Why rejection didn’t stop her—and why YOU shouldn’t take no for an answer either

If you’re a small business owner wondering ‘What’s next?’ or ‘How do I scale this thing?’—this episode is for you. Hit play, take notes, and get inspired to take your business to the next level. Tag me on Instagram @amandahughes.uk & tell me your biggest takeaway!
