About this listen

What if you built your career through your own sucessful business… only to realise you’d quietly outgrown it?


That’s exactly what Chloë Downes found herself facing and right at the peak of her success.

Chloë is the recently exited founder of the multi-million-pound talent agency SHFT, a Forbes 30 Under 30 alum, and one of the few women of colour in her industry. From the outside she was thriving, but inside she knew this wasn’t her dream.


We talk about:

✨ How success doesn’t always feel like success

✨ What it’s really like to walk away from a career when you’re on top

✨ The pressure of being a visible female founder

✨ How the combination of ADHD and autism shapes her approach to the world


This episode is for anyone who’s ever hit a level of success and then realised… this doesn’t fit me anymore.
