Ashleigh Cornelius, Localise: Championing small businesses

Today's guest started his career in the cut-throat world of
investment banking, but long held a startup idea close to his
chest on how to save the high street. However, Ashleigh Cornelius
and his wife went through an emotionally draining 7 year long IVF
journey to have their first daughter, Amelie, so his startup idea
had to wait. After his second daughter was born, Ashleigh bit the
bullet and quit investment banking to set up Localise, a mobile
app created to support and promote the independent business
landscape. Then lockdown hit and all shops, independent or
otherwise closed their doors. Localise's mission now was more
important that ever. In this episode, you'll hear an honest
account of switching from the corporate to the startup world, the
emotional trials of persevering through an IVF journey, and why
self-belief is your greatest weapon.
