Amanda Salt: From Tomboy to Trailblazer—Rewriting the Rules of Leadership

Amanda Salt never set out to be a leader—she just kept refusing to follow outdated rules. In this episode of Places She Shapes, Amanda sits down with host Zoe Smeeth at Abbey Road Studios to share her journey from outspoken tomboy to furniture industry disruptor to accidental mentor. Along the way, she opens up about burnout, bouncing back, ADHD, financial fear, the pain of letting go, and the thrill of letting go on purpose. It’s a deeply candid, inspiring conversation about career pivots, unexpected diagnoses, and finding fulfilment in the most surprising places—even at someone else's company.
