With guests including author Sophie Gravia, Apprentice finalist Rochelle Raye Anthony, money advisor Chloe Carmichael, CEO Dani Donovan, dancer & life coach Chloe Ferns, and creative director Amy Moore, Reece aims to inspire and educate the next generation of ambitious professionals.

In 2025, Reece expanded his entrepreneurial portfolio by launching Skinny Coffee House—a coffee, juice, and health bar specialising in wellness. The business quickly shot to success across Scotland, securing collaborations with major brands such as NatWest Bank and River Island. With its growing popularity, the company is now preparing to open two additional branches within the year.
