Building a tech-for-good business in your 60s – with Kim Antoniou

What happens when lived experience, midlife clarity and a stubborn refusal to accept “that’s just how it is” collide with technology?

In this episode of Wild, Wise & Working, Jackie is joined by Kim Antoniou – award-winning entrepreneur and founder of Kafoodle, Auris Tech and Fonetti – to explore how midlife women can reinvent themselves, build purpose-led businesses, and create work that genuinely makes a difference.

Kim’s journey into tech didn’t come from a traditional background. Instead, it grew out of real-world challenges, curiosity, and a determination to design solutions that put people first. Together, Jackie and Kim talk candidly about confidence, courage, age, and what it really takes to start again in your 40s and beyond.

This is an episode for anyone who’s ever thought: “I’ve got more to give… I’m just not sure where to start.”
