The Youngprenuers Society Podcast
Every founder knows the frustration: you launch your brand, you set up your store, but the sales just aren't coming in.

If you’re a young entrepreneur building your brand, you’ve probably noticed that getting your first 100 followers feels way harder than getting to the 1,000 mark. You aren't crazy, it is harder. When you’re starting from zero, no one knows you, no one trusts you yet, and it feels like you're posting into a total void. But here’s the good news: your first 100 followers aren’t about luck. They’re about strategy and momentum. In this episode, I’m breaking down a simple, practical blueprint to help you move past zero and start working with the algorithm. Step 1: Start With Your...

3-Hour Workday? Bet. Let’s Make Your Time Work For You
The Youngprenuers Society Podcast
Somewhere along the line, entrepreneurship got romanticised into a "5:00 AM grind" where you sleep for four hours and work for twelve. If you aren't exhausted, people act like you aren't serious. I don’t buy that, especially for young entrepreneurs balancing school, jobs, or family life. You don’t need more hours; you need more focus per hour. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to get more done in three to five focused hours than most people do in twelve distracted ones. The One Thing Rule The biggest mistake young founders make is trying to move everything forward at once: the...

Your Business Idea is Cool, But Will People Actually Pay for It
The Youngprenuers Society Podcast
We’ve all been there, that "lightbulb moment" where you’re convinced you’ve found the next big startup or the perfect side hustle. Your friends hype it up, and your mom says, “That’s nice, dear.” But here is the uncomfortable truth: Validation from friends is basically useless. Your inner circle wants to be supportive, not honest. In this episode, we’re diving into how to test your ideas before you waste months building something that nobody actually wants to buy. It’s time to move past the "that’s fire" comments and get to the "where do I pay?" reality. The Reality...

Productivity Hacks for Young Entrepreneurs
The Youngprenuers Society Podcast
We talk about productivity all the time, especially as young entrepreneurs. Be more organised. Wake up earlier. Do more. Stay consistent. Push harder. But if I’m honest, that kind of advice can feel overwhelming fast. It makes you feel behind before you’ve even started your day. So in this episode, I wanted to share what productivity actually looks like for me while balancing business, online school, content creation, and still having a life. For me, productivity isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters. What Productivity Really Means to Me It’s Not About Being...

info_outlineWhat if your business could fund your dream lifestyle, without burning you out? Emma Lovell, also known as The Bleisure Coach, has built a life and business around freedom, travel, and sustainable success. From hosting global retreats to writing her own book, Emma proves that business can be deeply fulfilling when it’s aligned with your values.
In this episode of the Youngpreneur Society Podcast, Charlotte chats with Emma about building a brand that blends business with leisure, and why “bleisure” isn’t just a lifestyle, it’s a mindset.
Why Emma Started Her Business Journey Early
Emma launched her first business at age 22 while recovering from a serious injury, and hasn’t looked back since. Starting with a communications and copywriting business, she pivoted over time to personal branding, then coaching, then retreats. Each shift came from doing what she loved and responding to what people kept asking her for.
Today, she runs two brands:
-
Emma Lovell (The Bleisure Coach), focused on coaching, writing and speaking
-
Rest & Receive, a retreat company helping others host their own transformational retreats
What Is a Bleisure Life?
For Emma, bleisure is all about harmonising business, travel and self-care. It’s not about luxury or escape. It’s about living well while doing meaningful work.
A bleisure life means:
-
Doing work that lights you up
-
Prioritising rest, reflection and well-being
-
Travelling with intention and joy
-
Building a business that lets you experience life, not just chase goals
Emma encourages youngpreneurs to regularly ask: “Am I living a life I love?” If not, what needs to shift?
Building a Business That Works Around Your Life
After travelling to more than 70 countries and growing a six-figure business, Emma’s advice is clear:
-
Know your values and let them guide your choices
-
Start with what you have, your skills are more than enough
-
Say yes to opportunities and see where they lead
-
Surround yourself with support, mentors, peers, and professionals
Emma also shares why downtime is essential. Whether you’re running events, launching offers or simply trying to keep up, rest creates the space to receive. That’s where clarity, creativity and opportunity thrive.
Your Challenge
Define your version of the bleisure life. What does it look like? More freedom? More travel? More balance?
Take one step this week, no matter how small, that moves you closer to it. Because the bleisure life isn’t about waiting for “one day”. It’s about creating a business that lets you live fully today.
