First off - apologies for the dodgy audio from myside - I recorded this whilst away with work in the Ivory Coast and I didnt have my usual set up.  Anyhow, todays guest is Christopher Lochhead.  About Christopher:  After getting thrown out of school, with few other options, Christopher started his first company at 18. He served as chief marketing officer of software juggernaut Mercury Interactive which was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 2006 for $4.5 billion, co-founded marketing consulting firm LOCHHEAD, was the founding CMO of Internet consulting firm Scient, and served as head of marketing at Vantive, an CRM software firm. He’s been an advisor to over 50 Silicon Valley, venture-back startups and is a limited partner investor in several top-tier venture capital funds. Lochhead is a dyslexic paperboy from Montreal with Scottish roots. Over thirty years in business he has earned with a PhD from the school of hard knocks, experienced the bliss of winning, the pain of failure and learned how to laugh about the whole thing.

Via Istanbul, Amsterdam, Heysel, Switzerland, Jamaica, New York and Toronto; this story plots the life of an ardent supporter of Liverpool Football Club, who fell into the murky world of drug dealing as a young teenager. A genuinely funny and occasionally terrifying account of life as a cheeky Scouser trying desperately to extract himself from his nerve-racking lifestyle. Rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous one day, plunged into the depths of despair the next, constantly looking over his shoulder to keep one step ahead of the police, SOCA and jealous associates. Love, laughter, betrayal, espionage, music, terror, passion, travel and football provide the backdrop to this compelling life story; originally written from a prison cell by way of an apology and explanation to his beloved Mum" Big thanks to Paul for sharing his story and as per usual please click that subscribe button.

Episode 46: Tim Alison.    About Tim:  "For five years in my twenties, I was living a lie. From the outside looking in, I had it all. A wonderful wife, a millionaires family (a son and a daughter), and a six-figure income. There was just one problem- I was miserable. So I did the logical thing (to me): quit and moved to a tiny fishing village in Nova Scotia, Canada. When I started an educational software company the naysayers came out of the woodwork, telling me that I was a complete idiot doomed to failure. They stopped saying that when my sales topped $10 million. The thing is, it was never about the money. It was about living the life I wanted. During this journey, I learned that the most valuable gift you can give someone is your belief in their ability. That’s why, at age 60, I created the Screw the Naysayers Podcast. Each week I interview leading experts in innovation, education, entrepreneurship. My goal is to inspire listeners to expect more from life and provide practical advice that can be used to break free from a system that has been set up to encourage them to settle."  Catch Tim here: http://screwthenaysayers.com/home/ Tim's Podcast: http://screwthenaysayers.com/podcast/ Tim's book "Screw the Naysayers" - http://screwthenaysayers.com/book/   ★☆★ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ★☆★ ★FOLLOW ME BELOW★ ► Facebook: www.facebook.com/storiesinbusiness ► Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/423915144728423/ ► Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-wickstead-1a3245158/ ► Instagram: www.instagram.com/tom.wickstead ► Website / Blog: www.storiesinbusiness.com  ► iTunes: https://goo.gl/UMx32j ► Spotify:  https://goo.gl/dqNhij
