Lawrence Kenwright, founder of hotel business Signature Living, has experienced the highest highs and lowest lows of running one's own company.

We got the scoop on how to plan a perfect hen party, what you need to remember when you're trying to make a comeback, and why the UK is headed for another financial crisis. We're taking a break for Christmas, so there won't be a new podcast out for the next few weeks.
