ELIZABETH SOLARU PODCAST INTERVIEW WITH
RACHEL LANKESTER
I am delighted to finally share something I’ve been sitting on for a while. A few months back, I responded to Rachel Lankester founder of Magnificent Midlife call out for podcast guests. I was surprised to get a response from her as she received a ton of messages and had so many people to choose from.
Anyway, a date was set and I recorded the podcast. I absolutely loved her manner and interview style and we had a blast! She was full of amazing tips and advice off-camera which I treasure dearly.
She thought my story was fascinating as I spoke about my multiple reinventions including a new one accelerated by the global pandemic. She called me the mistress of creating opportunities out of challenges and I am definitely using that as one of my taglines.
We spoke about:
- My careers before cake-making
- Being a microbiologist and working for the health service
- The trauma of child loss
- Why I went back to business school to study for an MBA
- How I got my break as a Headhunter (Thank you Hamish Davidson)
- Making the leap into luxury cake making
- Famous clients and exotic locations
- Coping during Covid when your business is wedding cakes
- Being open to possibility and curious about how to fix issues
- Feeling the fear and doing it anyway
And more!
