About me

I'm Lynn Lester and despite being brought up in one of Glasgow's toughest neighbourhoods, orphaned at a young age, and having faced many challenges along the way, I feel utterly grateful every single day.

Through a combination of luck, hard graft and karma, I am fortunate to have been able to achieve success in the media, marketing and technology sectors.

I pinch myself when I travel the world, to host and present awards, TV shows, and events with some of the world's biggest companies. I have benefited from a career that a wee girl from Clydebank could never even have imagined, and this series is my way of helping others in their own journey to success.

But no matter where I go or what I do, I never forget where I came from.
