Hannah is one of those people who quietly makes you rethink what success actually looks like. I wanted you to meet her.
Hannah spends her days helping companies solve incredibly complicated technology problems. Then she spends the rest of her time renovating a 400-year-old farmhouse on the coast of Wales, rewilding a meadow (which has badgers living underneath), and running a glamping business.
This isn’t a conversation about escaping work.
It’s about creating a life you adore, along side it.
In this episode, we unpack:
- Why designing your life matters just as much as designing your career.
- How Hannah accidentally built a career in technology.
- The beauty and history of life on the Pembrokeshire coast.
- Why deep work needs space, silence and good design.
- What restoring an old farmhouse taught her about legacy.
