Despite being beyond busy, and attracting the attention of The Times, the BBC, Hello! magazine and Metro, I am honoured that Vicky Saynor was able to find time to come on my podcast...

Her's is a story about a woman who knows what she wants and needs.

Gone are the days for Vicky where working round the clock for someone else, in an industry that is less than inspiring, is either a health option nor indeed anywhere near what she wants to dedicate her life to.

Bethnal&Bec is where she is now - born of the joys of self-awareness, choice, determination and creativity - all alongside her partner in love and business, Chris. Theirs is an award-winning, adult-only, boutique cabin business in Hertfordshire that goes above and beyond in terms of luxury, design, localism and sustainability.

This is a gripping account of a fresh-start family business, where dilapidated stables in a wild flower meadow in the countryside became a safe haven and place of respite - not just for its customers but for Vicky who - having survived Cancer - now provides a much needed and very inclusive escape for absolutely anyone that needs it, and with discounts for those working for the NHS or wider "care sector", and for those that have had a cancer diagnosis.

Read all about their dedication to their local community, as well as the 30 families, including pets and children, for whom Vicky and Chris provided free accommodation, food and hot meals during Lockdown.

My conversation with Vicky discloses how a NetZero business can make this happen without a huge team of employees, and without needing to be tied to your location 24/7.

It's a must-listen for all founders and custodians of purposeful land in the UK, who have a story to tell and are trying to change things up in the eco tourism space, put their and their communities' needs first, and have fun along the way.

P.S. You should definitely listen if you would like to know where best to put taps in showers...
