Tia Kofi hosts The Final FronTia, the podcast where pop culture fandoms collide and we share our biggest obsessions. From the Tardis to the Big Brother house, each week RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner and all-round superfan Tia is joined by the icons, stans and stars who live and breathe queer pop culture — for the behind-the-scenes tea, the passionate deep dives, and to reveal the things they’re secretly fans of.
She’s the entrepreneur who captured the nation on The Apprentice with her confidence, determination and refusal to let anyone underestimate her — Karishma Vijay is our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia!
Founder of the cosmetics company Kishkin, Karishma has grown a loyal following of nearly 1M fans across social media. During her time on The Apprentice, she impressed audiences with her business acumen and resilience, proving that backing yourself can take you further than playing it safe.
On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Karishma talk about the realities of competing on one of Britain's biggest reality shows, from surviving the intense filming schedule to navigating the social dynamics in the house.
They discuss preparing for Lord Sugar's interviews, why real-world experience mattered more than textbook knowledge, and the pressure of building a business while millions of people are watching.
They also dive into representation on reality TV and why Karishma believes winning The Apprentice was about far more than securing an investment. Along the way, they chat about entrepreneurship, taking risks, facing your fears, and the surprising challenges of cliff diving in Portugal.
Plus, Tia finally gets to indulge her Apprentice obsession with a quiz, plenty of behind-the-scenes gossip and the inside scoop every fan has been waiting for.
