What does it really take to turn life’s challenges into opportunities?
In this episode of Life’s Lessons Unpacked, I sit down with Freddie Fforde, founder and CEO of Patch Works, a pioneering company redefining how and where we work.
But our conversation goes much deeper than flexible workspaces - it’s about the mindset and life experiences that shape true success.
Growing up in a single-parent household, Freddie saw first-hand how traditional work structures could limit opportunities, especially for those juggling personal responsibilities.
This experience ignited a deep commitment to making work more accessible, balanced, and community-driven - values that drive his company and personal mission today.
Freddie opens up about:
💡 How his upbringing shaped his worldview and entrepreneurial drive
💡 The struggles and self-doubt behind building something new
💡 Lessons in resilience, leadership, and staying true to your purpose
💡 The future of work - and why it’s about more than just productivity
This episode isn’t just for founders or business leaders; it’s for anyone who’s faced adversity, struggled with balance, or wondered if there’s a different way forward. It's a conversation about courage, vision, and the power of questioning the rules we’ve been given.
