What does it really take to turn a kitchen experiment into a purpose-led brand stocked across the UK?

In this episode, we sit down with Lisa Puddle, co-founder of MOMO Kombucha, to unpack how she transformed small-batch home brewing into one of the country’s most respected kombucha companies - and a certified B Corp.

Leaving behind a career in fashion marketing, Lisa and her husband Josh began brewing kombucha in their kitchen with a clear vision: to create a drink that was better for people and the planet. What followed was a crash course in entrepreneurship - navigating an emerging category, building a brand from the ground up, scaling production, and holding firm to their values as demand grew.

We are joined by Tracy Edwards, a pioneering sailor who made history as the first woman to skipper an all-female crew in the Whitbread Round the World Race. Tracy shares her remarkable journey, from her challenging childhood marked by loss and rebellion to her ground breaking achievements in sailing. She recounts the scepticism she faced, the triumphs of her crew aboard Maiden.

Tracy's resilience shone through as she founded the Maiden Factor Foundation, advocating for girls' education worldwide. The conversation delves into her experiences of breaking into a male-dominated sport, the importance of mentorship, and her ongoing commitment to empowering young women through education.
