About the Podcast

Just Getting Started
A podcast for high achievers who aren't done yet
Just Getting Started is a podcast for high-achieving professionals who’ve built success and still feel like they’ve got more to give.

This isn’t about retirement, It’s about reinvention.
It’s for the restless, the driven, the ones who’ve done it all… and aren’t done yet.

Hosted by me, Nicky Hughes, ex corporate warrior and long-time advisor to executives and entrepreneurs. We explore what it really takes to build a second chapter that’s clear, meaningful, and fully yours.

You’ll hear real stories, unfiltered conversations, and powerful frameworks to help you reclaim your identity, design your next 20 years, and build the life you actually want.
