What is FLARE?

Welcome to FLARE,

What does it really take to build a business from the ground up?

In this special podcast series from All Island Media, we meet Jersey's 'Female Leaders and Rising Entrepreneurs' for FLARE, a competitive initiative celebrating the ambition, creativity and resilience of women building businesses in Jersey.

Across the series, Connect Magazine editor Fiona Potigny speaks to the judges, finalists and the eventual winner of £20,000 and a year of mentorship about the realities of entrepreneurship – from the risks they took and the setbacks they faced to the moments that changed everything.

You’ll hear powerful stories from women leading businesses in fields as diverse as health, travel, fashion, wellbeing and finance, each driven by a clear vision and the determination to make it happen.

Honest, insightful and sometimes emotional, these conversations reveal what it means to step forward, build something of your own and keep going when it matters most.

If you’re interested in leadership, entrepreneurship or the stories behind bold ideas, this series is for you…
