In this episode, host Luke sits down with Sam Everard, founder and CEO of the Bournemouth-based charity SAMEE (Support and Mentoring Enabling Entrepreneurship), and Wayne Ingram, to discuss their groundbreaking work in supporting disabled and neurodivergent individuals to explore self-employment as a viable career path.

Sam shares insights from her recent trip to Vienna, where she presented SAMEE's innovative employment programme at the Austrian Parliament as part of the Zero Project 2025 Conference. This prestigious recognition highlights SAMEE's impact, being one of only two UK organisations selected for this honour, alongside the BBC.

The conversation also touches on lighter moments, including Sam's memorable encounter with Dave the dog, adding a personal touch to the inspiring narrative.
