In the second episode of ‘Entrepreneurship 101’, Sophia Haas returns as a guest and talks about what has happened since the first recording with her and her start-up bloem. The past few months have not gone as planned and a lot has changed.
Honest, reflective and approachable, she explains why bloem is now more clearly positioned than ever before and how the focus has shifted away from the original ideas towards second-hand shops, which offer enormous potential for digitisation and more efficient processes.
Sophia openly shares what it means to constantly rethink a start-up, endure setbacks and still hold on to a vision. She talks about how important it is to focus on a real problem, especially in a market where around £500 billion worth of clothing is thrown away every year. Topics such as technical hurdles, team building, community and personal resilience provide an unfiltered insight into the everyday life of a female founder.
This episode is inspiring because it shows that progress often comes when you let go and start afresh. An optimism that pays off when Sophia makes it onto the Forbes 30 under 30 list in the entrepreneurship and society category in December 2025.
For those interested, the first episode with Sophia is also worth listening to.
