Welcome back to another edition of ScaleUp Radio, the podcast inspired by the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System and designed to make navigating our ScaleUp journeys that little bit easier by learning from others' experiences. 

I’m Kevin Brent and today we delve into the remarkable journey of Kate Bright, founder of Umbra International, a pioneering company providing holistic secure lifestyle services for high-net-worth individuals. 

From its inception in 2015, Umbra has achieved steady growth by addressing physical, digital, reputational, and emotional risks for its clientele. Today, Kate shares her unconventional path to success, the challenges of scaling a values-driven company, and her leadership evolution in creating an inspiring work environment. 

She also offers invaluable tips for managing stress and maintaining resilience in high-stakes situations.

Most founders I speak to feel busy but stuck; plenty happening, but not always clear on what genuinely matters most this quarter. If that’s you, the G90 Summit is worth a look. A structured half-day where we work through everything competing for your attention, get clear on the three to five things that must happen in the next 90 days, then commit to them and build the system to make sure they actually happen. Quarterly, virtual, £97 a seat.
