We took Simon Says on the road and met founders who are making something from nothing — right in front of a live audience.

• Torie Fletcher — BootSkins
A football mum who got tired of muddy boots and made a fix. From soggy socks to a product in market, Torie shows how a small idea becomes a brand when you share the journey and sell the first pair fast.

• Lyndsay Summerhill — Sexy Pickles
Award-winning jars with a wink. We talk recipes, retail, and turning repeat buyers into superfans with story-first content and sampling.

• Mish Choudhury — Be Iconic (AI fitness)
An AI-powered coaching platform with a human heartbeat. We strip the pitch back to one promise: clear outcomes, real testimonials, one landing page that converts.

• Andrew & Jo — The Wellness Lodge (back-garden clinic)
A couple turning a garden room into a sanctuary for breathwork, cold plunge, and recovery. We map their first paid pilot and a neighbours-first launch.

• Ellie — ADHD-inspired apparel & customs
A young designer channelling neurodivergent pride into wearable art. We sketch a collab-first plan (creator partners, limited drops) and the first 10 designs to ship.
Website: TBA (studio set-up in progress).

• Yoann Maurice — Ondes Wellbeing
Boutique, education-driven coaching built for busy professionals.

• Toby — for Oak Be
Early-stage concept; we map a name/handle check, problem–promise–proof script, and first 10 customer interviews.

• James Williamson — “Pureblood Pariah” (artist)
We pivot from “drop a track” to a release machine: weekly lyric hooks, fan stitch prompts, and a Bandcamp-first offer.
