While we take a summer break… 🎧

We're taking a short break over the summer – but don’t worry, we’ll be back with fresh episodes on 8th September.

Emma’s story is a brilliant example of entrepreneurial spirit, from starting Laceeze on the side-lines of youth football to facing the Dragons and building a brand with impact.

One episode we highly recommend while we’re on pause is - On the Pitch: Laceeze & Dragons’ Den with Emma Burke.
