Episode Notes In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Abel, founder of TNB (a leading UK apprenticeship training provider) and headline sponsor of Ahead in AI, our upcoming event on November 10th, 2026. We talk about her winding path through roughly ten failed businesses before finding success in the hair and beauty industry, the childhood trauma - her father's suicide and becoming a full-time carer for her mother by age ten - that quietly shaped her drive for decades, and the belief she had to unlearn: that everything was hers to fix. Sarah shares the pivotal coaching investment that took her business from £400k to £1 million in two years, the profound recent challenge of her husband's dementia diagnosis, and why she believes AI education is the single biggest opportunity - and threat - facing small businesses today. Don't miss the opportunity to take the first step towards a more fulfilling life.
