What happens when your idea seems too complex, too ambitious - or too early?

In this episode, Emma sits down with Ben Paglia, founder of Akea Life, the UK’s largest on-call private GP service, and co-founder of Alphagenix, a hormone therapy business transforming men’s health.

Ben shares how he turned his personal frustration with the healthcare system into a pioneering business - one that’s redefining private GP access across the UK.

From raising investment and managing regulatory challenges, to surviving a pandemic that changed everything, Ben’s story is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and focus.

You’ll learn:

💡 How to turn a personal problem into a powerful business idea

💬 Why slow growth often builds the strongest foundations

🧠 The mindset shift from “doing everything” to leading with clarity

⚙️ How to delegate better and build a sustainable business model

💭 Why doing less can actually move you further, faster

This conversation is packed with real lessons about entrepreneurship, leadership, and what it takes to keep going when the odds are against you.
