Mark and Johanna speak to ‘notonthehighstreet’ founder Holly Tucker in this episode. “Hurricane Holly” takes us through the early chapters of her career and the positives and negatives of being a workaholic from a very early age. We also cover the power that naivety, or perhaps better put as – confidence despite inexperience, can have and where it can take you; as well as the importance of doing what you love, or, loving what you do!

Each time it’s a bit like sliding doors in a movie – if you turn right, other things will happen and if you turn left – other opportunities. You just got to keep working out which way you should turn.
