This week, my guest is Founder and Head Honcho at Expert DOJO - Brian Mac Mahon. Now, I'm going to be honest with you - I'm trying not to have as many business-related guests on the show, mainly because I'm trying to talk to people who tie in more with my own interests... and making money is not a skill I've ever shown much of a proficiency for… However, what Brian is a very interest guy - what he's gone on to create is a business that pushes young, vivacious business minds to be more successful in a way that goes against the grain of the Venture Capital market. His tagline, which was what got me interested in having him on, was, “Being a startup business is a lonely and difficult path to navigate… Why do it alone?” So in this chat, we run through Brian's life to find out how he got to where he is today and at times he really puts me through my paces! expertdojo.com -- This episode is sponsored by Northern Powerhouse Media.
