Narrated by Downton Abbey’s Phyllis Logan, the audience is given a fascinating bird’s eye view of business owners navigating through one of the most unpredictable periods in modern history with the guidance of expert business coaches. The series starts at the onset of the pandemic and grips viewers wondering if the business owner heroes will survive the toughest business conditions in living memory. The scenarios are real and some are seemingly impossible, not least the young couple who left their jobs to risk all and pursue their dream of setting up a bar on Barry Island just before Wales went into lockdown for the first time!

This series is perfect for anyone thinking of becoming a business owner, understanding the mindset and action needed during times of crisis. For those already fully immersed in business ownership, this show will draw parallels to situations you have faced, not only during the pandemic but on a daily basis.

“Right now, 9/10 business owners don’t even know about business coaching and how it works. Our team of over 200 Action Coaches in the UK are changing that one business at a time but this new series on Prime Video will lift the lid on ActionCOACH’s proven business success systems. So, tune in to find out whether the animal sanctuary struggling for donations survives through lockdowns plus how our Action Coaches supported seven other businesses over the last couple of demanding years,” said Julie Wagstaff, Managing Director of ActionCOACH UK.
