In this episode of the Built By Her Podcast, Georgie sits down with serial entrepreneur Ruth Hunter to talk about what it really takes to rebuild, pivot and keep going when things don’t go to plan.

From being bankrupt within a year of launching her first business, to building award-winning wedding companies, co-owning Cheltenham restaurant Japes, and developing a £1.1M property portfolio, Ruth’s journey is anything but linear.

We talk about:

• Going bankrupt early in business and what it taught her
• Building six-figure wedding and event companies
• Why COVID forced a complete life and career reset
• Investing in education and learning from people already doing it
• Buying her first auction property with no money or experience
• Raising £138,000 in four weeks
• Building HMOs through private investment and vendor finance
• Transitioning into supported living and accessible housing
• Creating impact through property
• Why networking is one of her biggest success tools

Ruth shares openly about risk, resilience and the importance of getting in rooms with people who are already ahead of you.

If you’re navigating failure, considering a pivot, or building something bigger than your comfort zone, this episode will remind you that setbacks aren’t the end of the story.

They’re often the start of the real one.
