The Starting Line with Rich Leigh Marnie Swindells: Winning 'The Apprentice was a beautiful disaster'
The second episode of The Starting Line podcast, with the brilliant Marnie Swindells, winner of the most recent series of the BBC’s flagship business show, The Apprentice, and the founder of boxing gym business Bronx LDN.
Join us as we go behind the scenes on the show, discuss Marnie’s early life, her challenges, her ambitions, her motivations and more.
The Apprentice averages 7 million viewers per episode - meaning one in every six adults in the UK will have watched Marnie secure Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment back in March 2023.

= About The Starting Line =
From a turbulent childhood marred by domestic violence, addiction and crime to being named the #1 most influential PR person, my journey has been anything but conventional.
At 17, I dropped out of school. At 18, I became a father for the first time, and left the chaos of my family council house, determined to rewrite my story and break the cycle so many understandably struggle to.
By 30, I was a successful agency owner with a #1 best-selling book. We were working with some of the UK’s leading brands, entrepreneurs and celebrities, building, shaping and protecting reputations, using my influence to raise more than a million pounds for sick children.
