Enterprise Nation: The 99% Club – The Small Business Podcast
Big corporations have no problem getting air time. But what about the other 99% of all businesses?
Hosted by Enterprise Nation CEO Aaron Asadi, The 99% Club is about what it really means to run a small business – from the brilliance to the boring, the magic to the mundane.
Each episode features raw, honest, human conversations with founders from across the small business world. No jargon. No buzzwords. Just real people talking about the things that matter:
– Why they started
– What keeps them going
– What’s falling apart
– What they wish someone had told them earlier
From publishing houses built on philosophy degrees to business plans sketched out between burnout cycles, this show is a home for truth-telling, not hustle culture.
Whether you’re a startup dreamer, side hustler, or seasoned business owner wondering if it’s just you (it’s not) – you’re in the 99% Club. You belong here.

Enterprise Nation: The 99% Club – The Small Business Podcast
Episode 3: Building Weebert’s World – Soldiering on with Soldering and Scrapbots
“This isn’t a cottage industry. This is imagination, industry and impact.”
At 61, Lotty and her husband Andy didn’t retire quietly – they built a universe from scrap.
Literally.
In this episode of The 99% Club, Enterprise Nation’s Aaron Asadi meets Lotty of Weebert’s World, a growing brand of hand-built robot sculptures and children’s stories, all created from discarded objects and a wildly creative spirit.
Born from a difficult moment, the business is now a cross-generational, heart-led venture inspiring kids (and grown-ups) to imagine, create and care.
This conversation explores:
– Building a business from a garage with no prior experience
– Why digital detox starts with storytelling
– The dream of turning Weebert into a children’s TV star
– The frustrations of being excluded from funding as a rural business
– The power of family, legacy, and late-in-life creativity
– And why small businesses should be seen as more than “cottage industries”
From resin sheep to House of Lords appearances, this is a one-of-a-kind journey – and a love letter to making something from nothing.
