She built something better.

From starting as a 17-year-old apprentice to founding striveX, Rachel has grown a 7-figure, bootstrapped accountancy firm while simultaneously turning her personal brand into a million-pound business.


In this episode, Rachel shares how she spotted a gap in professional services, used Instagram to scale in public, and built systems inspired by McDonald’s to create consistency, performance and profit. She talks candidly about hiring too early (and too cheaply), over-investing in team, and why feedback loops and data dashboards are non-negotiable if you want to scale properly.


We also dive into the power of financial education, building recurring revenue without giving away equity, monetising a personal brand beyond vanity metrics, and why being “good at numbers” can unlock real freedom and choice. Rachel opens up about bootstrapping everything, launching a new tech product for accountants, and her long-term mission to make financial literacy more visible – especially for young women who don’t see themselves reflected in traditional business stereotypes.


This episode is perfect for founders building service businesses, creators looking to monetise properly, or anyone who wants a transparent look at what scaling really involves behind the scenes.

This is the story of someone who did.

A founder who, while sitting in a pub, took out a five-figure personal loan and decided to back himself. And years later, it paid off.


In this episode of Take the Plunge, Playter founder & CEO Jamie Beaumont talks through the real journey... the detours, the bad timing, the mistakes, and the moments that forced him to start again. From an HR tech startup wiped out by Covid to building a lending platform that helps thousands of small businesses manage cash flow, Jamie takes us inside:


- The pub-side NatWest loan that kicked everything off

- The failed HR platform that led to Playter

- The nerves behind sending Playter’s very first loan

- Rethinking invoice finance with Playter Pay & Playter Boost

- Why PPC and cold outbound didn’t work, and how brokers changed everything

- The messy reality of 24/7 founder life

- His “high-agency” hiring test (the escalator question)

- What it’s really like raising both equity and debt


If you’re building something, rebuilding something, or thinking about taking a leap, this conversation is full of grounded, honest lessons about resilience, distribution, and the people you surround yourself with.


About Playter

Playter helps UK SMEs manage cash flow by spreading key bills and accessing flexible funding through products like Playter Pay and Playter Boost.


About Take the Plunge

Take the Plunge is the podcast from Swoop where founders share what pushed them to stop what they were doing and build something new. From the first spark to the scaling phase, and everything messy in between.

Darren shares the grind of finding manufacturers, bootstrapping for three years, and building a challenger brand in a crowded nutrition space. Expect insight on manufacturing, omnichannel growth, hiring, partnerships, cash flow and smart funding.


🎯 Key Takeaways

  • Problem → Product: After losing 23kg, Darren created a shake with 13 whole-food ingredients, co-developed with Dr. Brian Carson, using clinically backed doses.
  • Trust & Quality: In a “Wild West” market, WholeSupp ensures transparency through informed-standard facilities and third-party testing.
  • Taste Wins: 100+ sensory panels proved that nutrition only works if it tastes great.
  • Data Focus: ~70% returning customers, 100+ monthly interviews, real-time insights and micro-influencer testing before paid growth.
  • Omnichannel: Digital-first success now reinforced by Holland & Barrett rollout, sampling and staff training.
  • Next Phase: Launching Ready-to-Drink (RTD) for on-the-go consumers.
  • Lean Team: Keep fixed costs low, scale great people, and give ownership early.
  • Funding Smart: Angels, grants, Enterprise Ireland and a fractional CFO—walked from early VC terms until metrics proved out.
  • Email = Currency: Educational content (like VO₂ Max) outperforms hard-sell emails and drives loyalty.


🔥 Memorable Quotes

  • “If your product doesn’t taste great, you’re in trouble.”
  • “Email is currency. Educate first, sell second.”
  • “We’re data nerds—every decision starts with behavior.”
  • “Growth isn’t everything; live and breathe the numbers.”
