  • Episode 7 : Tinks
    Oct 31 2025

    In this uplifting episode, Rebecca and Caroline meet Arabella Lloyd aka Tinks — a woman who accepted defeat on the slopes of Kilimanjaro and decided to move from great heights to sea level, rowing across the Atlantic Ocean with 11 strangers. Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the moments that don’t go to plan become the ones that define us — and that every great adventure starts with saying yes.

    We talk about what drives an ordinary person to take on extraordinary adventures and what 44 days at sea can teach you about teamwork, mindset, and fear. Join us for this warm, funny, and fearless conversation that celebrates the spirit of adventure in all of us.

    Tinks’ Nothing Ventured Top Three

    1️⃣ Just keep rowing — it will pass. Everything changes if you keep going.
    2️⃣ Time is running out — use it wisely. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
    3️⃣ Every adventure starts with saying yes. Courage begins with a single word.

    A special message for Robin and Michelle from Tinks:

    "A huge thank you to my director Robin Beaumont at Beaumont Brown for accommodating my adventure, whether it’s letting me take all my holiday in one go, or having to listen to me tell the same stories over and over to our lovely customers and to my colleague Michelle, who picked up all the slack while I was at sea!"

  • Episode 6 : Ed
    Oct 24 2025

    “I’m Ed — 29, from London. Founder of two companies, full-time wheelchair user, and a big advocate for accessibility and inclusion.”

    That’s how Ed Boyd introduces himself. Simple, passionate, and straight to the point — much like the way he approaches life and business.

    In this episode of Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained, Caroline and Rebecca talk with Ed about what it really means to succeed — and how his view of success has changed from chasing status and money to finding purpose, fulfilment, and freedom.

    Ed has built two businesses with his co-founder Cass— Crimson Social and drifthome — and they are challenging the way the property world works. They are redefining how we search for a new home — designed to work better for buyers and agents alike. Think Tinder, but for properties.

    💡 In this conversation:

    • Why fear of failure can hold us back — and how Ed learned to move past it
    • How Positive Intelligence and meditation help him manage stress and stay grounded
    • Ed’s Top Three guiding principles — including one powerful truth: “Don’t be afraid to ask for help.”

    And wouldn’t it be great if someone listening — maybe an investor who shares his vision — would like to connect with Ed and help take drifthome even further?

  • Episode 5 : Jen
    Oct 17 2025

    Our guest for this episode is Jennifer Upton — former British diplomat, now executive coach and founder of How to Diplomat

    In this warm and deeply human conversation, Rebecca Rees and Caroline Bridge talk with Jen Upton — a former British diplomat who has been posted to some of the world’s toughest countries and now helps leaders and teams communicate, influence, and stay grounded when the pressure’s on.

    As Jen says, she was “posted to places I wouldn’t get to see on holiday” — and some of those postings came with extraordinary challenges. She shares what it was like to evacuate twice with two small children and her husband, and to survive the Marriott Hotel bombing in Pakistan. These experiences gave her a powerful perspective on leadership, resilience, and how to stay composed when everything around you feels uncertain.

    Now an executive coach and founder of How to Diplomat, Jen helps others learn the art of diplomacy in everyday life — connecting with empathy, handling pressure with grace, and leading through influence rather than authority.

    Together, the trio explore:

    • How to manage fear and uncertainty in high-stakes situations
    • Why influence starts with curiosity
    • How courage often looks quiet, calm, and deeply human
    • The lessons diplomacy can teach us about work and life

    If you want to work with Jen contact her by email: jennifer@howtodiplomat.com
