The truth about finance and overnight success with Abigail Foster, Founder of Elent

Today I’m joined by Abi Foster, Founder of Elent.

After becoming a qualified ACA Chartered Accountant, Abi began her professional career in the luxury magazine sector at Condé Nast, before moving on to Hearst Publishing's finance department.

She enjoyed spending time outside of work supporting colleagues and friends to better understand their own personal finances, though through this experience Abi noticed that many people, specifically women and young people, had low financial literacy and had received little to no financial education in school or at university.

From this realisation, Elent was born.

With the mission to help eradicate inequalities in our society by making financial education accessible to all from a young age, Abi founded Elent in October 2021 and has since partnered with 24 schools, educating over 20,000 students and counting.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why you never want to be a finished product
• Growing from 3,000 to 60,000 followers in a month
• Finding the right combination of people to build your dream team
• Calling out acronyms as a key life lesson
• Accepting growth in all aspects of your life as a founder, not just business

And so much more!
