In this episode of Stories That Sell, I’m joined by Lucy Shrimpton, who shares how her journey from film sets and tribute acts turned into building a global business.

This is a real story from the school of life, Lucy talks about leaving school early, figuring things out as she went, and learning through experience rather than theory. You’ll hear the highs, the harder moments, and the mindset that’s helped her keep going and keep growing.

We get into what it actually takes to back yourself, make bold decisions, and build something on your own terms. There’s a strong thread throughout this conversation around belief — the kind that’s built through action, resilience, and doing things your own way.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit the traditional route, or you’re building your business in a way that doesn’t follow the “rules,” this episode will hit.

The conversation is real, straight-talking and proof you don’t need a perfect plan to build something big — you just need to get started and stick with it.

In this episode of Stories That Sell, I’m joined by Sandra Garlick MBE, Speaker Mentor and Visibility Strategist, with over 25 years of experience helping business owners step into the spotlight and turn their stories into real opportunities.

Sandra shares how her life took an unexpected turn after her divorce, leading her to retrain as a solicitor, build a law firm, and step into the world of professional speaking. On paper, everything looked solid. But behind the scenes, things had shifted.

A serious accident in 2016 forced her to stop. And in that pause, she realised something many people avoid admitting: she no longer loved the work she had built her life around.
Instead of ignoring it, she made a bold decision to change direction completely.

Recognised with an MBE for her services to women in business, Sandra is the founder of the Woman Who Awards and host of the Mic Drop Moments Podcast. Her work focuses on helping entrepreneurs go from hidden to high profile by using their voice, message, and story to create impact on stages and beyond.

We talk about what it really takes to pivot when something no longer fits, how she built her brand from the ground up, and why visibility isn’t about being everywhere, it’s about being seen for what you stand for.

This conversation is honest, grounding, and a reminder that you’re allowed to change your mind, and your direction.

Welcome to the very first episode of Stories That Sell podcast, formerly known as The Creatie Content Club.

This podcast has been a long time coming, and I wanted to start by sharing exactly what this is, who it’s for, and why it matters — especially right now.

Because we’re in a time where content is everywhere.

It’s faster to create, easier to automate, and let’s be honest… a lot of it sound sthe same.

But the businesses that stand out aren’t the ones posting more.

They’re the ones people actually feel connected to.

And that comes from the person behind the business.

In this first episode, I’m talking about why your story matters more than you think, how connection actually leads to clients, and why relationships, reputation, and referrals are built through the way you show up — not just what you sell.

If you’ve ever felt like your content isn’t quite landing, or like people aren’t fully seeing what makes you different, this episode will give you a different way to think about it.

This isn’t about doing more.

It’s about showing up in a way that people remember.

In this episode, we cover:

– Why content alone isn’t enough anymore
– The difference between being visible and being remembered
– How connection builds relationships (and why that matters for your business)
– Why your story is the most underused part of your content
– How relationships turn into reputation — and why that leads to referrals

Welcome to Stories That Sell, the podcast formerly known as The Creative Content Club hosted by Content & Marketing Expert, Naomi Rose.

Stories That Sell is a podcast for business owners who want to create real connection through their content.

This show goes beyond the surface to explore the person behind the business, the stories, experiences, and decisions that shape how someone shows up and what they’re known for.

Because people don’t just buy what you do, they buy into who you are.

Each episode is an honest conversation with incredible business owners, sharing the parts of their journey you don’t always see online - the moments that built their confidence, their voice, and their reputation.

In a world full of AI, automation, and content that all sounds the same, connection is what makes you stand out.

And connection starts with your story.

Because when people feel like they know you, they trust you.
When they trust you, they talk about you.
And that’s what leads to relationships, reputation, and referrals.

If you want to create content that actually connects and build a business people come back to and recommend you’re in the right place.
