🎓📱 “I think it depends on the person, and what they wanna do.”

Is university still the best route to building a successful career, or can social media open just as many doors?

The speaker shares a different perspective, explaining how social media has created opportunities that didn’t exist in the same way before. While some careers require formal qualifications, others allow people to build their own path through content, creativity and an online presence.

There isn’t one route that works for everyone.

Your career path should fit your ambitions, not just tradition.

🤝 “A mixture of everything really works.”

Should small businesses collaborate with bigger brands, or should established brands focus on working with influencers? 👀

From a fashion marketing perspective, the speaker explains why both approaches can be effective. Smaller businesses can collaborate with bigger brands to increase their visibility, while established brands can work with influencers known for promoting authentic products.

The key is finding the right collaborations to build awareness, trust and reach.

👏 “I was so proud of myself, I didn’t care what anyone else thought.”

There’s something special about opening the doors to a business you’ve worked so hard to build.

The speaker shares how rewarding it is to welcome customers in person, show them the machinery and see their reactions when they realise just how big the business is.

But the biggest feeling wasn’t about impressing customers, it was the pride of seeing everything come together.

When you know how hard you’ve worked, you don’t need anyone else’s approval.

🔥 FROM WATCHING SHARK TANK ON HIS SOFA TO SITTING IN THE INVESTOR’S CHAIR.

Steven Bartlett’s journey is proof that your starting point doesn’t define your future. 🚀

After leaving university following a single lecture, he went on to co-found Social Chain, launch The Diary of a CEO with a $100 microphone, and build a hugely successful media business.

Now, he’s taking another major step: joining @sharktankabc as one of its newest investors. 🦈💰

From being underestimated to backing the next generation of entrepreneurs, what a journey.

👏 Congratulations to @steven on this next chapter!

💭 If you could pitch your business to any investor, who would you choose? 👇

🤝 “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

Sometimes, the next job opportunity comes from someone you’ve already worked with.

The speaker explains how building relationships in your industry can lead to people reaching out directly when new opportunities come up.

From staying connected with past collaborators to sharing your work on social media, networking can open doors that applying for jobs alone might not.

You never know who’s watching your work or who might remember you when the right opportunity comes along.

📱 “Instagram feels so polished compared to TikTok.”

Ever felt nervous about posting on Instagram because everything has to look perfect?

The women discuss how Instagram can feel like a place where you need to look the part, while TikTok feels less intimidating because of its more raw, authentic style.

The pressure to create polished content can make showing up online feel harder than it needs to be. Sometimes, letting people see the real you is what makes your content relatable.

Your content doesn’t have to be perfect to make an impact.

💡 “Come away with some real, tangible actions.”

Thinking about starting your own business but not sure where to begin?

Sometimes, the best place to start is with the basics. You don’t need to have everything figured out before taking that first step.

Whether you’re a student with an idea or someone ready for a career change, learning from people who’ve been there can help turn uncertainty into action.

You don’t have to know it all. You just have to start somewhere.

💭 “It was never to be an entrepreneur because it’s not guaranteed.”

Growing up in a business family didn’t mean entrepreneurship was the dream.
Instead, the expectation was to choose a stable, well-paid career like a doctor, lawyer, or accountant, a path that felt more secure than taking the risk of building a business.

But sometimes, the biggest challenge is breaking away from what you’ve been taught success should look like.

A secure career isn’t the only path to success.
