Harvey Armstrong is a well-known TV personality, particularly recognised for his appearances on the popular reality show, Made In Chelsea (MIC). The show is an eye-opening reality series that follows the lives and loves of the socially elite 20-somethings who live in the London Borough of Chelsea.
Prior to his television appearances, Harvey studied Business Accounting and Finance at Newcastle University, setting him up for a successful career in the corporate world. He worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), a renowned multinational professional services network, where he honed his skills in finance and business.
Harvey’s journey took an exciting turn when in 2019 he ventured into the entrepreneurial world, making a mark in the beer industry. Harvey is now the CEO and co-founder of Prime Time Lager, a craft beer brand which launched the world’s first caffeine-infused low-calorie lager.
In this episode, we start by taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane, exploring Harvey’s early years and the adventures that moulded him—going from Chelsea to Australia, and then from accountant to entrepreneur. Harvey tells me about his career in reality TV, and I get all the backstage gossip about “Made in Chelsea.”
I navigate the real challenges too, delving into the importance of mental health and how Harvey defines success on his own terms. We discuss branding, exploring the significance of tattoos and the meaning behind them—cue the ‘Bud Light Drama.’
We also dive into his academic journey, questioning if his degree shaped the path to success. Furthermore, we explore Harvey’s passion for rugby, his thoughts on potential reality show comebacks, and his tips and tricks about mentorship and advice.
