The Merri-Cast Ep.65: Emily Gill

Jul 22, 2025

What do you do when the career you worked so hard for no longer feels right? And how do you build something new that’s driven by purpose, not pressure?

This week on The Merri-Cast, I’m joined by Emily Gill – Co-Founder of human skills platform LEVRA and a qualified coach.

In this episode, Emily shares her fascinating career journey from lawyer to Oxford MBA student, to entrepreneur. It’s full of insight, humility and real-world lessons.

Other key highlights from the episode include:
• Her father’s influence, particularly his encouragement that “anything is possible”.
• How her career change came from periods of quiet reflection – not a single ‘lightbulb moment’.
• Her perseverance and belief in long term goals.
• Learning to embrace uncertainty and imperfection.
• Not taking setbacks personally.
• Building a values-led business with long term impact.

Emily’s honesty and grit make this episode a must for anyone navigating change or wanting clarity in their entrepreneurial journey.
