Entrepreneur Emily Hughes started her first business at just 13 years old, and hasn’t stopped since.
In this episode of The Leap, Emily shares the journey from running a teenage beauty business to launching her most ambitious venture yet: Reco HQ, a sports recovery and wellness concept planned for South London.
Inspired by the recovery culture she experienced while studying entrepreneurship in Australia, Emily is now raising funds for a scalable, community-led wellness space.
But unlike many startups, this is a business you can’t test with a simple MVP. It’s a capital-intensive project requiring investment, planning permissions, building regulations, and a lot of belief in the vision.
In this conversation, Emily and Josh explore:
What it’s really like to start your first business as a teenager
Why younger entrepreneurs often take bigger risks and have more fun doing it
How bootstrapping early ventures shaped Emily’s approach to business
The realities of raising investment for the first time
Why the wellness and recovery market is primed for growth in the UK
And how Emily is designing Reco HQ as a scalable “cookie-cutter” concept from day one
It’s a candid conversation about risk, ambition, and what happens when entrepreneurial instinct meets infrastructure reality.
