Episode description

In this episode, Sam Dunlop shares about her money story. Sam is an award-winning director of two high-flying companies, she built her accountancy and recruitment businesses from scratch. 

Sam did well at school, but she left at 16, a victim of bullying over her pale skin and auburn hair. This led to an apprenticeship at a hairdressers and dying her hair every colour to bury her shame at being ‘ginger’. Despite her crushed confidence, Sam’s ambition burned as brightly as her red hair and she passed her AAT (accountancy) qualification with the Open University. A few years ago, Sam set up her own accountancy business - Prestigious Finance Services.

The schoolgirl who was relentlessly tormented has certainly become the mouse that roared, winning the KWIB Women in Business 'Entrepreneur of the Year in 2021’. Two years ago, Sam founded a second company, MasterMind Recruitment. And at the height of the pandemic, she spotted an opportunity to support an economy devastated by Covid and worked with local job centres to launch a service to match jobseekers to her clients.

During our conversation Sam shared in detail her experience in bullying during her youth, how she pushed on to achieve her accountancy degree, her money relationship then and now, her business beliefs and goals as well as how she manage to overcome her debts.

This episode is truly motivating and encouraging. Join Sam and I for a conversation that will inspire you to push forward and onward despite adversities. Enjoy tuning in!
