Radha Vyas: Co-founder of Flash Pack

Author: Bauer Media April 13, 2026 Duration: 27:18

Radha Vyas is the co-founder of Flash Pack, the adventure travel company for like-minded solo travellers.  Radha joins Elliot to chat about the life-changing impact of a viral selfie in Brazil and how, despite near bankruptcy (when the pandemic forced their business into administration) they managed to start Flash Pack all over again.


There’s a certain rhythm to building something remarkable, a kind of improvisation within a framework of discipline and vision. Jazz Shapers, from Bauer Media, draws that parallel directly, sitting at the unique intersection of business innovation and musical spirit. Each conversation, hosted by Elliot Moss, is less a standard interview and more a deep exploration of character. Moss has a particular talent for drawing out the personal stories behind the professional success, focusing on the motivations and the pivotal moments that define a leader’s journey. You’ll hear from founders and pioneers who have, much like the great innovators in jazz, soul and blues, defied convention and broken the mould. The discussions delve into how they navigate challenges, recognise opportunities, and maintain their drive when the path isn’t clear. This isn’t about dry strategy or generic advice; it’s about the human element at the core of every enterprise. Produced by Jazz FM, the podcast offers a thoughtful, nuanced listen for anyone curious about the mindset required to shape not just a business, but an entire field. Tune in for authentic, compelling stories that resonate with the creativity and resilience found in both the boardroom and the recording studio.
