Renowned LinkedIn influencer Lea Turner, known for her candid insights and 170,000-strong follower base, is expanding her reach into the world of podcasting. On October 1st, she will launch The HoLT’s Survival Guide for Small Businesses, a podcast aimed at breaking down the misconceptions surrounding entrepreneurship. With a focus on the real challenges business owners face, Lea is determined to shed light on the often-hidden aspects of running a small business.
A No-Nonsense Approach to Business
In contrast to the overly polished image of success often seen on social media, Lea’s new podcast will explore the realities that many entrepreneurs face but are seldom talked about. From the struggles of isolation to the exhaustion of daily challenges, The HoLT’s Survival Guide will provide listeners with an honest perspective on the highs and lows of business ownership.
“The reason I created this podcast was to give a voice to the real, unfiltered side of entrepreneurship,” said Lea Turner, Founder of The HoLT business community. “People often don’t realise how lonely and tough it can be to run a business, and I wanted to create a platform where business owners can find genuine advice, shared experiences, and encouragement when they need it most.”
Raw, Relatable Stories from Entrepreneurs
Each episode will feature in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds, who will share their experiences of navigating the rocky road of business. From dealing with failure to celebrating hard-earned successes, these conversations will provide a realistic view of what it takes to survive and thrive in the world of business.
In Episode 1, listeners will hear from Danielle Carrigan, a former teacher who left the classroom behind to start her own virtual assistant agency, which has since grown into a team of 11. Additionally, the podcast will feature Steve Ware, a former IBM consultant who reinvented himself as a mindfulness coach, offering insights into the personal transformations that often accompany business ownership.
An Extension of The HoLT Community
The podcast is a natural extension of Lea’s growing online community, The HoLT, which is dedicated to providing genuine support and advice for small business owners. This community, which Lea built from the ground up, reflects her no-filter, no-fuss approach to business. The podcast mirrors that ethos, with each episode offering down-to-earth discussions that get to the heart of what running a business is really like.
Beyond the podcast, entrepreneurs looking for more hands-on support can subscribe to The Vault, an online library packed with practical masterclasses. For a monthly fee of £20, members can access expert advice on everything from marketing strategies to tax management. This resource aims to help entrepreneurs avoid burnout while giving them the tools they need to succeed—without relying on the “hustle culture” often glamorised on social media.
A Must-Listen for Business Owners
Whether you are just starting out or have been running your business for years, The HoLT’s Survival Guide for Small Businesses is designed to provide valuable insights and encouragement. With its real, raw content, Lea Turner’s podcast offers a refreshing break from the usual glossy business stories, making it a must-listen for anyone on the entrepreneurial journey.
