This week, I speak to Andy Goodwin and Tom Parker, founders of Fettle Design, a design studio that is based in Los Angeles and London. The business that Andy and Tom have built is a brilliant example of how you can be international, do a diverse range of projects, while remaining small, and be the "first multinational company with two employees."

Lindsay sat down with Practice Founder, Nick Maynard, to talk about why he fell into accounting in the first place, how he sees his own business as a creative endeavour, and his passion for bringing strategy and insight to creative business.

In this episode we talk to Brand Strategist Emma Keyte, founder of Free Projects, to talk about her journey from working in house to building her own business, how she turns her love of words into impactful outcomes for clients, about how to see competition a bit differently and how getting the core elements in a business can lead to clarity.

In this episode we speak to Elle Bytautaite, of Studio Elle. She's an architect who set up her practice about a year ago, based in Surrey, in the UK. We talk about the ride that is the first year of business. Elle is incredibly thoughtful, ambitious, and a refreshing voice in the world of creative entrepreneurship.

Lindsay sat down with Tom Bell, Nimi Attanayake, Will Mawson and Sarah Broadstock - all members of the RIBA Guerilla Tactics Steering Committee to reflect on this year's event, the learnings and ideas that we've all taken from it.
