Episode 3 | Why failing brilliantly is part of being a better entrepreneur

In this episode, host Bron Mills takes us on a journey into the world of young entrepreneurs and the leadership dynamics that fuel creativity. Joining her are Rachel Dickinson, an entrepreneurship expert from Warwick Business School, and Taylor James, the award-winning podcaster and young entrepreneur behind the Waffleshop podcast. Together, they explore what it means to lead in creative industries, the mental health challenges entrepreneurs face, and how to overcome the obstacles that often accompany entrepreneurial journeys, including imposter syndrome.

Through engaging conversations, Dr Dickinson and Taylor share insights on leadership styles, the importance of empathy and vulnerability in leadership, and the mental resilience needed to thrive in the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship. They also discuss how to balance high performance with mental well-being and why creating a supportive, healthy environment is essential for both individual and team success.
