🌟 What I Wish I Knew at 30 – with Fran Harper
Real Stories. Raw Lessons. Timeless Wisdom.
What I Wish I Knew at 30 is the podcast that bridges generations — where host Fran Harper, entrepreneur, coach, and storyteller, invites guests from the worlds of food, business, sport, and travel to share the truths, turning points, and lessons they wish they’d known earlier in life.
Born from years of heart-to-heart conversations with young people, this show captures the wisdom, resilience, and humour of those who’ve lived, learned, and now want to give back. Each episode is a deep dive into mindset, purpose, growth, and human connection — because the insights of one generation should inspire the next.
If you love authentic conversations that make you reflect, laugh, and rethink what really matters at every age, this is your invitation to learn from experience, not just time.
