This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

Victoria set up My Language Connection in 2017 after the translation agency she was working for went into liquidation. Realising there was a gap in the UK serving specialised services, Vicotria targeted Technical sectors, working with logistics, life sciences and industrial manufacturing. The Aviation Logistics Network is one of MLC’s main clients, addressing key communication issues in the supply chain. MLC was also involved in creating awareness as part of the Covid England Explained campaign, and recently established a base in the Dubai Silicon Oasis freezone. Other milestones include seeing turnover reach seven figures in just 5 years of operation, and having now grown to a network of more than 1,200 translators worldwide. While MLC has been lauded for its technology that makes their service easy and efficient for their clients, Victoria remains conscious of the need for context and empathy in translation work that machines are not yet able to replicate, and therefore one of MLC’s core USPs is working with human native speakers as translators. Victoria won £35,000 from Scottish EDGE in 2019, winning over the panel with her exceptional leadership in driving MLC forward. She has since received numerous awards for her success as an entrepreneur, including Young Person of the Year at the Glasgow Business Awards in 2023, and Young Entrepreneur of the Year at the Scottish Business Women’s Awards 2022.…

Lisa started her company Dear Green Coffee in December 2011 after learning how to roast coffee in Australia while working as a backpacker packing coffee beans. It was here that she discovered coffee is grown around the Equator and every origin has a different flavour and aroma. Lisa came back to Scotland and following several bad employment experiences decided to look into coffee roasters. She found a second-hand one online, bought it and never looked back. The company produces speciality based coffee and supplies to hospitality based businesses and online. Dear Green is passionate about coffee as well as the environment. It pursues excellence in coffee and makes ethical choices to ensure every bean is well-considered and sourced. As a business, it carries ethical and social conscience in every element of its output, working alongside suppliers it trusts to ensure sustainability in the coffee it roasts. As part of its ongoing commitment to be as green as possible in its operations, Dear Green is constantly exploring new ways to help reduce its emissions and tackle climate change. Since winning Scottish EDGE in 2015 Dear Green has increased its profits and customer base year on year, and has grown its team considerably. Lisa also founded the Glasgow Coffee Festival in 2014 and it has ran annually since - now a 2-day event welcoming thousands of attendees, and is the first single-use cup-free coffee festival.…

Having worked for over 15 years in the skills arena for Skills Development Scotland, Scottish Enterprise and Careers Scotland, Alison came up with the idea for Skillfluence during a sabbatical in Silicon Valley. Whilst there, she studied at 3 different institutions and attended numerous events. The universities were so well connected with start-up culture, business, and investors that Alison knew there was a need to mirror this in the UK. Alison got to work on making more connections to join the dots between outstanding research and real-world impact and influence. While Alison was building Skillfluence, she was still working full-time, using her evenings and weekends to create training programmes and develop the platform. Eventually, she took the leap and made Skillfluence her full-time job. Skillfluence is a tech-based blended learning approach to train PhD students and researchers in essential business and soft skills. It is unique, innovative and unmatched in the Higher Education market Since its founding in 2015, Skillfluence has trained over 10,000 researchers and worked with more than 60 universities in the UK and Europe.

Jacine Rutasikwa and her husband Paul launched their Matugga brand at the London Rum Festival in 2015. At that time, there were very few UK-produced rum brands. However, Matugga quickly silenced the doubters with a taste that rivalled the best on the market. A trade deal followed shortly after and the Rutasikwas gave up their jobs to follow their 'side-hustle' full time. They moved to Edinburgh so that Paul could study distillation at Herriot Watt (having subcontracted the process previously), and they opened their production facility in Livingston in 2018. Matugga promotes itself as the product of a ‘flavour triad’, drawing on the rum-making traditions of Jamaica, ingredients from Africa and the distilling history of Scotland. It is the only Black-owned distillery in Scotland and one of only two Black-owned distilleries in the U.K. Jacine and Paul also semi-recently closed a successful £300k crowdfund to launch their own sugar cane plantation, located on a landholding owned by Paul’s family in Uganda, which will ultimately allow Matugga to offer a ‘cane to cask’ product that with an exclusive family link. Testament to her grit and determination, Jacince states that "when there aren't many people who look like you at the table, you build your own table".
