<![CDATA[Regulated REBEL]]>Welcome to Regulated REBEL where we explores the link between trauma and entrepreneurship, and how the nervous system that kept us safe all those years is now quietly running our businesses.

I'm Lynn. I've spent my life learning this the hard way, through my own story and the founders I've worked alongside. The overworking, the undercharging, the saying yes when we mean no. None of it is random. It's our nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do.

In each episode, I'll share honest conversations, real stories and simple tools to help you understand what's driving you, so you can build a business that feels as good as it looks. The REBEL way - Resilience, Empathy, Breaking rules, Evolving & Lighten up.

Grab a cuppa and come as you are. You're in good company here.

Kayleigh Keith proves the opposite - with the right values, systems, and people, you can build four operating venues, raise kids, and still keep your head clear. Lynn Erasmus sits down with Kayleigh Keith, the force behind a growing hospitality empire and a community-first approach to business that actually works.

From taking over her first venue at 24 to navigating pregnancy, payroll, new systems, COVID furloughs, and multiple expansions, Kayleigh shares how she keeps moving without burning out.

You’ll discover:

  • Why she says company values are the easiest way to manage people
  • The exact values her team lives by, including "one team one dream," "kill them with kindness," and "lead by example"
  • How she uses calm, detachment, and a wider perspective to make better decisions
  • Why she keeps AI to the absolute minimum in hospitality
  • How community events like the Grieff Spring Fair and Grieff Food Fest helped make the town busier
  • What it really takes to build a business that grows without losing its soul

Kayleigh also opens up about the family structures, early independence, and lived experience that shaped her no-nonsense mindset. She explains how a strong support network, honest communication, and a "love you, bye" attitude can actually create more resilience for both parents and children. This conversation is a masterclass in practical leadership, regulated ambition, and building a business that serves real life instead of competing with it. She also works on community initiatives and bespoke tourism projects, including bringing Chinese tourism groups into rural Perthshire.

What if you don’t have to choose just one place to call home. Lynn Erasmus speaks with Ellen Fischat, founder of Storyroom, Inspiring 50, Tech Consultant & Community Connector about identity, belonging, community, and the challenge of keeping technology human. Drawing on a life that spans South Africa and the Netherlands, Ellen reflects on how her personal and professional journey has taken her through social work, social enterprise, and technology, and why she now sees herself as a global citizen by design.

Her message: when the old rules stop making sense, that can be an invitation to question them and choose a way forward that feels more like your own. She explains how she first brought digital tools into social work because access to technology can open doors to information and opportunities, and how, over time, her focus grew to include bringing community perspectives and human needs into tech design.

Key takeaways

  • Belonging doesn’t have to mean choosing one box.
  • Questioning the path can be a sign of growth.
  • Make space to hear your own voice.
  • Technology should be designed with the people it affects.
  • AI needs engagement, not blind acceptance or dismissal.
  • Protect your attention and human connection.
  • Entrepreneurship is human work.

If you have ever been sold a shiny opportunity, moved too fast, or ignored your gut in the name of growth, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar.Wendy joins Lynn Erasmus on The Rebel Podcast to unpack the real cost of scaling without the right advice, the danger of emotional decision-making, and what happens when shame keeps you trying to fix everything alone. From veterinary nurse to property developer to hotel owner on the Isle of Wight, Wendy shares how a series of rushed decisions, missing due diligence, and bad partnerships pushed her to rock bottom - and what finally helped her turn the corner.

You'll discover:

  • Why “going faster” nearly became the downfall of a multi-property business
  • The difference between buying a beautiful building and buying a good business deal
  • What Wendy learned about shame, resilience, and asking for help before it’s too late
  • How the lighten up principle helped her stop spiraling and start recovering

The trap of following expert advice without enough common sense, the hidden risks of property investing, and why “I can fix it myself” is often the most expensive mindset in the room. Wendy opens up about the systems she now wishes she had in place earlier, and the practical habits helping her stay grounded as she rebuilds.They also get into the future of business with AI and automation. If you’re wondering how to stay relevant, visible, and profitable in a changing market, her perspective is worth hearing. Wendy’s story is a reminder that setbacks can become medicine - if you’re willing to slow down, learn, and rebuild the right way.
