In Episode 49, Polly Dhaliwal sits down with Song Kim, the founder of Zeya Social, a new platform designing safe, intentional, low-pressure social experiences for women navigating modern dating. Recorded live at Web Summit, this conversation dives deep into the changing landscape of dating, technology, women’s safety, and how social wellness is becoming central to how we connect.

Polly opens the episode from the heart of one of the world’s biggest gatherings for founders and changemakers. As COO of Enterprise Nation and Founder of Girls In Movement, Polly reflects on the mission of empowering young women globally with confidence, education, and opportunities to build their futures. Her guest, Song Kim, embodies this spirit.

Song shares her honest and personal journey of navigating dating apps, the self-esteem challenges many women face online, and how her own experiences inspired her to build Zeya Social.

Together, Polly and Song explore:

• Why today’s dating apps still feel overwhelming for women • What “social wellness” really means and how it can transform confidence • The societal pressures women face around dating, marriage, and timelines • The cultural differences in dating across Korea, Europe, and South Asia • How communities, offline experiences, and curation can rebuild trust • Song’s shift from product design to becoming a solo female founder • Her journey as an Alpha startup at Web Summit and preparing to pitch • The future vision for Zeya Social, AI-powered matching, and global expansion • What young girls (and anyone starting out) should remember when choosing their path

This is an honest, warm, and uplifting conversation about pursuing ideas that matter, trusting your instincts, and building products that put women’s safety and wellbeing first.

Dhillan decided to quit college to start a unique and affordable unisex clothing brand for people who wanted more than what you would find on the high street.

Dhillan started Ratchet when he was 16 years old, his weekend job was washing cars at his uncle's garage for £1 a car. From 2012 Ratchet has been worn by Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Drake, Rihanna and more. 

Never going to fashion school nor studying anything to do with fashion - he taught himself everything when it came to tie dye. Because every item is handmade, they all looked the same but they were not all the same, every item was different in its own quirky way.

Every item sold on Ratchet Clothing is hand dyed, hand made and hand printed.

Ratchet Clothing has always grown organically, Dhillan says him and his customers are more like a big family - "they've supported me since day 1"

"I've always said Ratchet has gotten to where it is today because I involve my customers in everything I do. What I achieve in the brand is what we've all achieved, I wouldn't be where I am today with the support of you all."

Using her social media platforms for good, Poorna was named on the Marie Claire Verified power list 2019, which champions women who use Instagram to amplify positive messages, inspire others and open difficult conversations with honesty and candour. An avid weightlifter, Poorna credits the sport for helping her throughout her grief, providing her with not only physical, but mental strength, body confidence and resilience too. Her work in the fitness space and position within the diversity and female empowerment conversation has led to a number of high profile collaborations with brands including NatWest, Bupa, Lululemon, Sweaty Betty and Sport England's This Girl Can campaign.

A judge for The Mind Media Awards, Poorna is also the chair of the print category for judging the Own Media Awards. She has also sat on the judging panels for the prestigious The British Book Awards, Sony World Photography and First Women Awards.

It struck her that there was very little information out there for young people, educating them about the disease, how they could be looking after themselves and informing them that breast cancer doesn’t just affect women over 50.

Although Kris will always live with cancer, she wanted to get the message out there to young people that catching cancer early means you have a higher chance of surviving and recovering. She

wanted people to learn from her story and become pro-active about their own health. The idea for CoppaFeel! was born.

In this episode we talk about her journey so far, building the organisation CoppaFeel whilst balancing treatment, educating young girls and spreading the word! Kris is currently a columnist for The Sun, she has her own BBC documentary and is constantly influencing young girls every single day!

This has to be one of my favourite podcasts recorded, such an exciting story of how our 2 guests careers have developed as well as their exciting new project called Turbans & Tales.

Amit Amin & Naroop Jhoti came together over 10 years ago to work on a project with an unsigned musician, they straight away knew that they wanted to work at photographers & directors.

Fast forward to today, and they have hustled their way to the top - working with the likes of Tinie Tempah, 50 Cent, & Jay Sean to name a few.

They fell into the Singh Project, after recognising the popularity of ‘the beard’ across London. They noticed younger guys were fashioning a beard, when actually Singh’s have been doing this for hundreds of years.

They had their first exhibition for the Singh Project in London which then expanded to New York and grew extremely popular from then. They suddenly had press coverage, investors & PR interested to take the project to the next level.

Turbans and Tales was then launched and was recently featured in The Times.

“The turban has always played a huge role in the identity of India, worn at one time by all the major faiths of the nation. It was a symbol of status and respect.  Now mainly associated with the Sikh identity, our book, Turban and Tales, is built around our hugely successful Sikh Project, a collection of portraits of British and American Sikhs. 

This podcast looks at their early days, some amazing success stories in the music industry & each of their favourite projects. We then discuss their new project and of course advise to our listeners!

She was working in a corporate role for a few years whilst saving to put a deposit down on her first buy to let property - “I of course made sacrifices, but it’s completely doable”. She then went on to buy a few more and suddenly realised her side hustle of purchasing properties was actually making her more money than her corporate day job.

“Everyone at my job, when I told them I was leaving wanted to know how I did it - so I kind of got tired of telling the same story and decided to write a book”

Anshu was #1 best seller on Amazon for her new book Buy to Let Loose, which essentially gives you tips on how to purchase your first property, what to look out for, complicated lingo made simple….and it is also accompanied with her app - which tells you how much you would need to purchase your first buy to let property or standard purchase.

Anshu gives some great tips on how to buy your first property whilst being on an average salary & some tips for young people on how to save their money and start building a investment profile from a young age.

“Spend time developing your career and academic timeline, but what’s just as important is your financial investment timeline…learn about money, learn about how to invest.”

Kam started his business very young and has since then watch it grow into a successful company to really be proud of. Kam was financially free at the age of 23 and used his time to then start educating and empowering others who wanted to go into this industry.

Kam has a wealth of knowledge and experience within the property industry and is definitely worth talking to if you have any questions.

He’s had mentors at different stages of his life and is now happy to be a mentor to others. Kam says it’s great to find a mentor who is perhaps 5 years ahead of you, that way what you want to achieve is in touching distance.

With property being such a hot topic, Kam reminds people that you do not need a big pot of money to get started you just need to be smart.

As a mentor, public speaker, author and business coach, Chai has already made an impact to over 100,000 individuals in just under 70 countries.

Ben has three decades of Property experience, and is the CEO of Propertunities.

What is even more fascinating is the work he is doing with Women across Albani and the workshops he is looking to run. Women who have come from abusive background and empowering them to rebuild their confidence.

Ben has a Ted Talk in Surrey coming up where he will be discussing a lot of topics taken from his recent book Social Magnetism, where he talks about making friends, developing networks, being authentic and most importantly how to be successful in every area of your life.

Ben’s goal was to be retired by the age of 35, and he explored the avenues in which he could get to this goal. This is partly the reason behind his experience in so many different industries.

My advice would be to carry on, any terrible thing that happens to you, any life span that you live to…every event is a small blip in your life span…just carry on.
