I Didn’t Know I Could Do That with My Degree – Breaking Assumptions and Building Confidence

Your degree isn’t a map - it’s a launchpad!

In this episode of Inspiring Entrepreneurs, we’re challenging one of the biggest myths students still believe, that your degree dictates your destiny.

We’re joined by Kayla Megan Burns, a Biomedical Science graduate turned tech founder, writer, and disability advocate, and Dr Marc Reid, chemist, author, and UKRI Future Leaders Fellow. Their stories show how curiosity, creativity, and courage can turn any degree into a foundation for something unexpected.

Together, they explore:
How degrees open more doors than you think
The surprising turns their careers have taken
Managing failure, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome
Combining disciplines and juggling multiple interests
Advice they’d give to their undergraduate selves

Whether you’re still studying, recently graduated, or figuring out your next step, this episode will help you see your degree and your potential in a whole new way.
