Strings To Your Bow
Welcome to Strings to Your Bow — the podcast that celebrates the real stories, unexpected turns, and unique skills that shape self-employed life.
I’m your host, Chloe Weatherhead — virtual assistant, support expert, and founder of Andiamo Business Assistance, where I provide tailored small business support to freelancers, founders, and the self-employed.
Each week, I sit down with inspiring guests to explore the personal experiences and professional lessons that have added ‘strings to their bow’ — those transferable skills, passions, or turning points that have fuelled their journey. Whether it’s about launching a business, pivoting careers, or finding purpose through challenge, this podcast is about honest conversations, useful insights, and celebrating the power of lived experience.
If you're self-employed, thinking of making the leap, or simply love hearing how people turn their stories into strengths, you're in the right place.
No jargon, no fluff — just support, connection, and inspiration, one conversation at a time.

Manu Thomas The Artist in the Clinic: Innovation through Imagination
In this episode of Strings to Your Bow, I’m joined by the incredibly multi-talented Manu Thomas—founder of Pentafold Ltd and CareLearner, dedicated NHS professional, and prize-winning artist.
Manu’s story is a brilliant example of how diverse passions can come together to create something truly impactful. With a strong background in Primary Care, a love for technology, and a deep appreciation for design and creativity, he’s on a mission to improve patient care through innovation.
We talk about how Manu balances his work in healthcare with building a tech-driven company, the role creativity plays in problem-solving, and how following multiple interests has added unexpected “strings to his bow.”
If you're curious about how art, medicine, and technology can work hand in hand—or if you're someone with more than one passion—you’ll love this inspiring conversation.
