Welcome to Creating The Curve, the podcast made for STEM founders who are brilliant at the technical stuff - but want running the business to feel a whole lot easier.

In this welcome episode, host Anna Bravington shares what the show is all about: supporting founders like you who’ve come from science, tech, engineering, or maths backgrounds and now find themselves having to figure out sales, marketing, leadership, operations… and everything in between.

Anna has over 20 years of experience helping 60+ businesses grow, and she knows the real story: most founders are working long hours, not paying themselves properly, and struggling to switch off - even on holiday. This podcast is here to change that.

You’ll get simple, practical advice on all the non-technical parts of business, so you can build something that works for you - not just your customers. It’s not about turning you into a full-time marketer or ops expert. It’s about giving you enough knowledge to grow with confidence and get to the point where you can hire and manage others without the overwhelm.

Creating The Curve is the down-to-earth podcast for STEM founders who are brilliant at what they do - but want a bit of help running the business side of things.

Hosted by experienced business adviser Anna Bravington, the show is packed with honest chats, expert advice, and simple tools to help you build a business that works for you - not the other way around.

With over 20 years’ experience helping 60+ businesses grow, Anna knows that most founders don’t struggle with their tech - it’s everything else. Sales. Marketing. Hiring. Grants. People stuff. That’s why each episode brings in friendly experts who get it, and can help you take the next step with confidence (and maybe even enjoy it a bit too).

If you’re stuck in 60-hour weeks, not paying yourself properly, or just craving a holiday where you don’t check your emails, this podcast is for you.

Each episode is designed to take a little weight off your shoulders—and help you build a business that feels good, runs smoothly, and fits the life you actually want.
