In this episode, Chloe Bisson opens up about her personal journey from being a successful chartered accountant to battling severe depression and ultimately finding her true passion. She shares how she lost her identity and faced the fear of failure, but ultimately emerged stronger and more determined. Chloe discusses the importance of communication and respect, and how these values have shaped her business ventures, including her work as an author and publisher. She also highlights the power of storytelling and the impact it can have on others. KEY TAKEAWAYS Chloe experienced a significant shift in her identity and career path, transitioning from being a successful chartered accountant to starting her own business after facing personal challenges and a battle with clinical depression. Communication is a key skill set for Chloe, and she is passionate about helping others improve their communication skills. She believes that effective communication is essential for building successful teams, connecting with clients, and making an impact in the world. Chloe values respect as her top priority, believing that everyone deserves to be treated with respect regardless of their position or role. She also values stability and variety, although the latter has taken a backseat as she has fulfilled her desire for variety through her entrepreneurial journey. Chloe's favorite book is "The Universe Has Your Back" by Gabby Bernstein, which helped her discover her own spirituality and embrace her curiosity. She appreciates how the book simplifies spiritual concepts and makes them accessible to a wider audience. Chloe's co-authored book, "Queens in Business: Time to Reign," holds a special place for her as it features 16 inspiring stories of women entrepreneurs. The book became a bestseller and marked a turning point in Chloe's journey, as she witnessed the impact of sharing stories and empowering others through her work. BEST MOMENTS "I just pushed. I was working 12 hour days. I was studying and working. I just almost got hooked on that achievement, hit the next milestone." - Chloe Bisson "I was the only one of my friends that didn't go to university, I just thought, all my friends are having a great time at uni. They're doing great. I can't afford uni. I've got a job and I'm now failing at that." - Chloe Bisson "I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression because I was so unwell. My mom took me to the doctor. Now I know she knew it, but I didn't realize because I was so stubborn." - Chloe Bisson "I was so fearful. Then in the end, the doctor said, Chloe, you need to get out of the house. You need to go to the gym. Again, there was a gym in the block just next door, so I was like, fine." - Chloe Bisson "I love to be around people that say it to me how it is. I'm that person that's got lipstick on my teeth and I've spoken on stage for the whole day and then somebody, I checked the toilet, I'm like, why did no one tell me?" - Chloe Bisson HOST BIO Toni's journey defies the norm. Raised with a strong work ethic and a traditional career path in mind, she initially pursued a corporate job in HR after earning her degree. However, in 2015, everything changed when she attended a property training seminar. Little did she know that this event would ignite a profound passion for property investment. With her husband Chris, Toni raised millions in joint venture finance, creating a multi-million-pound property portfolio. But her story doesn't stop there. By the age of 33, she left her HR job behind to empower others in building their successful property businesses. Toni's passion for public speaking led her to become a world record holder. Beyond the accolades, she sees it as a calling to educate and inspire. Toni hosts training events and uses her "Talks with Toni" podcast to share insights, interview captivating guests, and motivate her audience.…
