The Courageous Collective
The Courageous Collective is a monthly podcast that celebrates diverse women business owners, who dare to do things differently.
Created by comms expert and copywriter Rupa Bharadva (http://www.rupabharadva.com/)) and branding specialist Vardeep Edwards (http://www.thebrandingfox.com/)), the podcast will feature conversations with female founders from diverse backgrounds.
Each episode will focus on the stories behind the founders' businesses; their fears and challenges; how they've overcome them; how their roots and backgrounds have influenced decisions; their inspirations; and what they're yet to achieve.
Rupa and Vardeep created this podcast after noticing a big gap in magazines, at events and on podcasts. There are few women 'like them' represented in these spaces, despite there being many diverse women business owners!
The creative pair decided to take matters into their own hands. They've created a podcast platform to champion diverse female founders and celebrate their achievements.

#013 Ravneet Gill: From Pastry Chef to Entrepreneur
In this episode, we meet the talented pastry chef and bestselling author, Ravneet Gill!
Ravneet honed her craft at Le Cordon Bleu and made her mark in London’s top restaurants, including the iconic St John’s. She is the host of Junior Bake Off, and she’s also the founder of two businesses Countertalk and Damson Jelly Academy.
Ravneet decided to become a chef soon after graduating with a psychology degree. She explains why she chose to focus on baking. “At cookery school it was cheaper to do either patisserie on its own so I chose pastry.”
Now Ravneet is passionate about taking the fear out of baking through her newspaper columns, cookbooks and obviously Junior Bake Off.
She talks about her work ethic, why she’s not an overnight success, and her experience working in the food industry and the challenges she’s faced along the way.
In the episode, listen to Ravneet talk about how…
- Her purpose runs through her multiple businesses
- Her values help with decision making
- Her work in restaurants has helped her with her newborn baby
