On the very first episode of Successful Strides with Hannah Edwards, I’m joined by PR expert Fiona Scott, of Scott Media, who joins me to share the story of her business journey and the lessons that she’s learnt along the way!

Fiona and I have worked together for seven years so, having learnt so much from her during that time, it only made sense to me to ask her to be the first ever guest on this podcast.

We talk about Fiona’s career and how she came to be a business owner, family and how she balances time with them and ensuring she meets her client deadlines, networking and following this Fiona shares her top tips for anyone who wants to share a business.

We also discuss the elusive work/life balance and whether that is actually a thing, how people think that you’re going to be able to drop everything to meet as soon as you start working for yourself and the reality of what that’s actually like.

One of the big things we talk about is her stepdaughter, Lauren, joining Scott Media and how that’s been a learning experience for all involved.

Both talk about how social media has changed for them within their business with it not really being a thing when Fiona started in business sixteen years ago to now where it has become a vital part of her marketing.

I surprise Fiona with the fact that I can remember every detail about how we met and began working together considering everything else that we’ve done together in between including road trips over the UK for trade shows and award shows.
