From Quiet Conversations to Powerful Change: My Interview with Lucy and Michael
Every now and then, a conversation stops you in your tracks. Not because it’s loud or dramatic, but because it’s honest, human and full of lessons that every aspiring entrepreneur needs to hear.
My latest Vision to Venture interview with Lucy and Michael from Stowhill Estates was exactly that. Both bring very different stories, but share one thing at the core: the courage to build a life and career with intention. No fluff. No pretending. Just two people carving their path with clarity, self-awareness and a real understanding of the challenges that shape us.
Lucy opened up about her journey as a therapist and the power of genuinely seeing the person behind the problem. She speaks with a calm confidence that makes you sit up. Her message is simple. If we want to build anything meaningful, whether a business or a better life, we have to start by understanding ourselves. Not the polished version. The real one.
Michael brought a blend of curiosity and straight talking that perfectly balanced the conversation. His perspective on growth, resilience and taking ownership hit home for a lot of the Vision to Venture community. He reminded us that progress doesn’t come from waiting for permission. It comes from trying, learning and having a go even when the path isn’t clear.
Together, they offered a brilliant reminder of why Vision to Venture exists. Behind every business idea is a human being trying to figure things out. And if we can support that person with clarity, confidence and the right foundations, then the business has a fighting chance.
This video is a must-watch for anyone who feels stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of their next step. It’s thoughtful, practical and full of those small moments of insight that stay with you long after the camera stops rolling.

If you’re building something of your own, or even thinking about it, give this one a watch. You’ll walk away with a clearer head and a stronger sense of what really matters on the journey from vision to first customer.
