About this video

At Big Festoon October Spooktacular 2025, we’re diving into one of the biggest gaps in entrepreneurship: knowing how to run a business — not just start one.

I’m joined by Julie, a Cardiff-based business consultant who’s spent over 30 years helping troubled and scaling businesses fix what’s really holding them back.

From cash flow issues and working capital misunderstandings to uncomfortable but necessary conversations about responsibility, Julie shares why many business owners don’t have the problems they think they have — and how small strategic shifts can create massive change.

This is a practical, honest conversation about growth without ego.
