Hannah Porter-Jones is not your typical Oxford graduate. While everyone around her was heading into consulting, law and finance, she told her friends she was going to be a wedding planner. Now she's building Darcy, an AI-powered event planner.
This is the honest story of what it takes to back yourself when you're the one stepping off the conveyor belt.
In this episode, we cover:
How Hannah turned real-world expertise into a startup idea
Why she believes "you need to make yourself redundant"
Why choosing the path nobody is taking is worth it, even when you're worried you've made the wrong decision
What happened when someone at a Startup x Coding event asked if she was lost, and her refreshingly honest answer
What Darcy actually does and how AI is changing the way events get planned
This is a candid conversation about unconventional paths, trusting yourself, and taking up space.
