Ideas for a new business can spring from anywhere at any time. But when Kate Greenhalgh received a handmade Christmas gift from her husband, John, little did she know that it would change the course of her life.

In this episode Kate and John share their startup journey with Trish.
- Turning an idea into a business
- Seizing opportunity when it strikes
- Growing a business while balancing day jobs and family life
