S2E28 — Jackie Fast: How to ask for help when you are just starting
Welcome to The Early Days Podcast — a show about the hustle, the excitement, and doubts, the successes, and failures, the ups and downs of building a business from scratch.
My name is Marin and with my co-founder Julian, we interview fellow entrepreneurs about their experience of starting businesses. As we are building our own apparel company, and documenting our early days, we wanted to go behind the scenes with other entrepreneurs and find out what their early days were like.

The Early Days Podcast S2E28 — Jackie Fast, REBEL Pi
On today’s episode, we have Jackie Fast — founder of Slingshot Sponsorship, REBEL Pi, and a participant on The Apprentice.
Her first business — Slingshot Sponsorship — was started in her bedroom in 2010 with just a laptop and £2,000. Six years later, Jackie sold Slingshot for millions, having worked with notable international clients including Sir Richard Branson, the Rolling Stones, Shell, Red Bull and many more.
Jackie is now the founder of REBEL Pi, an ice wine brand. Relatively unknown, ice wine production is the rarest and riskiest in the world. With this exceptional product and brand, Jackie is slowly conquering the world and is also a participant on The Apprentice! If that was not enough, Jackie is also a best-selling author with her book PINPOINT.
In our conversation, we touched on the early days of Jackie’s career as a founder of Slingshot, how she exited the business, took time off to decide what to do next, how she started REBEL Pi and her experience on The Apprentice. We also talk about the importance of asking for help, how to do sales, branding, and distribution, and much, much more.
