In this episode, I’m joined by Leah Boxell, CEO and founder of Enable Lists, for a conversation about legacy, impact and the people who shape us often without realising just how much they have done.

Leah begins with a powerful letter to her first boss, David, the person who saw something in her at 16 and gave her something that changed everything: hope.

Leah shares part of her personal story, from a difficult and traumatic childhood to building a successful career and founding her own business.

We talk about leadership, kindness, change, the impact our words can have, and why she is now paying that hope forward through Move Different, a charity created to help young people feel heard, supported and less likely to fall through the cracks.
