Episode six: Behind the scenes at Dragons' Den

In 2017 Ed Hollands won £30,000 investment on Dragons' Den from entrepreneur Jenny Campbell. Ed's business is DrivenMedia which allows brands to advertise on the back of trucks.

Before the Den, Jenny Campbell spent 32 years in banking after joining Natwest aged 16. She went on to buy YourCash, an independent cash machine provider, from RBS which she ran for 10 years before selling it in 2016.

It's rare to hear an investor and their investee together so this is a fascinating chat. Tune in for to hear issues covered including:

• what it's really like to pitch on Dragons' Den

• how Jenny Campbell decides to invest in a business
