The Twenty Something Podcast
Like many of us, my 20’s haven’t been plain sailing and at times I have felt completely lost, questioning my decisions and wondering if I’m on the right path. Don’t get me wrong, I still feel like this sometimes! On the flip side, they’ve been filled with huge highs - like many things, it’s been a journey that hasn’t been linear.
This is the podcast I needed when I was younger. When I was going through the ups and downs of navigating the wild roller coaster ride of my 20’s. I’ll be interviewing a whole range of people from entrepreneurs and life coaches, to marathon runners and people who have overcome addiction.
I want to Normalise our 20’s, and the years beyond. I want to make it relatable to you, so that you can take away something positive from it each week.
I’ll be showing you that it’s okay to feel lost and like you don’t know if you’re on the right path but that there’s always a way to change and to make your life what you want it to be.

#07 Owen Barrow - Entrepreneurship, leaving your 9-5 and why we should all try sober dating
This week's guest is Owen Barrow. Owen is a 26 year old entrepreneur, content creator and runner. He set up his first business, GoGetters, when he was just 19 and has continued to grow the business ever since. In 2023 he also launched The High Performers Club, a running and wellness club in London which has since featured in GQ and has recently partnered with my favourite bakery, Gail’s!!
In this episode we discuss Owen’s journey as an entrepreneur, his drive behind wanting to start his own business which started at a young age, the impact of the pandemic, the highs and lows of leaving your 9-5 and running your own company, why your health is so important, sobriety and the impact this has had on his life, social attitudes around drinking alcohol and why you could benefit from going on a sober date, how he got into content creation, what his 75 Hard challenge taught him, how and why his outlook on materialistic items has changed and the advice he’d give to his 20 year old self.
I think this was favourite episode to record yet! I really hope you enjoy it too.
