Standing Out, Standing Strong
Calypso Rose
My guest today is someone who's been designing her own path since she was a teenager, and is now helping a whole new generation do the same. Calypso Rose is a British entrepreneur and founder of OffScript, a summit and platform helping young people and their parents navigate a future of non-linear careers, entrepreneurship, and AI.
Calypso describes herself as an accidental entrepreneur. At 22 she created Clippykit, those transparent, customizable photo handbags that grew from a small first order into a full blown brand, with celebrity fans and major retail partnerships. She then cofounded the Indytute, an experience company built around experiences (not things), running everything from ukulele classes to pop-up workshops in places like Selfridges, literally filling department stores with live experiences. Now with OffScript, she's taking everything she's learned—the wins, the loses, the pivots—and turning it into practical guidance: how to think like an entrepreneur, how to build resilience, and how to find your place in a world where AI and creativity collide.
So grab a cup of tea, and join me for a conversation with the wonderful Calypso Rose!
