Have you ever thought about what it means to innovate? Like actually? How do you innovate? Where does it start? Well, in today's episode, we're tackling those questions and talking about where innovation begins - with curiosity. To help us understand this, we're talking with Nic Haralambous. In the past decade, he's sold three businesses and learned many tough lessons through failure and success. He's learned that businesses at their core don't have an innovation problem, but rather a curiosity problem. And more than anything, after 20 years of building startups and consulting with the biggest brands in the world, he's learned above all else, culture creates change. And embedding curiosity in culture is where innovation begins. So, don't ignore this episode. This seriously was one of the most valuable episodes we've ever recorded. It doesn't matter your business size, you need this episode. Let's dive in! Show Notes: ✅ Check out Nic's site to learn more, buy his books, and connect with him personally: https://nharry.com

We can take our minds of the Ukraine War and rising oil prices for a while as we settle in to talk about the world of building businesses and helping small businesses in particular bounce back from the pandemic. The following is an extract from my next guest's new book, entitled the Business Builders Toolkit: “Building businesses is hard and lonely work. It's often thankless work that has, in recent times, been glorified as the work of the gods. But you and I know better. It's not the work of the gods done in the heavens, it's more like the work of the insane done in the trenches, wading through shit looking for a magical diamond that we aren't even sure exists, can't see and aren't convinced we 100% believe in. It's messy, it's wonderful, it's dangerous and difficult, it's brutal, it's intense, it's rewarding and soul-crushing, and it's the only way I know how to exist.” The book is also available at http://www.nharry.com. The author joins us now: Nic Haralambous, well-known entrepreneur author and speaker

"Life in 2020 is magic..." Currently that line is a work in progress for Nic Haralambous - Global Speaker and Entrepreneur for his new book about being curious in business and who is also making waves by telling it like it is in business and life in general. But first - here are some of the links worth noting with reference to Nic and this conversation: His first book: "Do. Fail. Learn. Repeat.": https://www.amazon.com/Do-Fail-Learn-Repeat-Businesses-ebook/dp/B07DVNX5L2 His LinkedIN profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicharalambous/ Daily Maverick Profile where Nic is a Columnist: https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/author/nharalambousgmail-com/ Some interesting Small Business Stats about New Zealand from the Ministry of Business and Innovation: https://www.mbie.govt.nz/business-and-employment/business/support-for-business/small-business/ Nic is someone who has always been restless - with care - and who finds himself in his comfort zone which is usually at the cutting edge of things. For myself - Bevan Lynch part of SHOUT & Co. - I do know Nic personally and have been watching his journey close up and in more recent times - from afar and felt honoured to have captured through this medium his journey to date - I also have a feeling we will be doing this again some time in the future - maybe face-to-face somewhere else in the world. Also part of this podcast - the intro and the outro music specifically - are songs that Nic co-composed as part of a band we were in back in the day. And to pay further tribute to the man, the outro track is a song Nic wrote called 'Shattered Man' - performed by the band thusFAR circa South Africa 2004/5. Nic is not at all a Shattered Man, but rather a man who has himself undergone a metamorphosis in life and in business and we at SHOUT & Co. trust you will enjoy listening to this interview as much as we enjoyed interviewing Nic. As always - thank you for your good company.

Nic Haralambous | Founder at NicHarry

JOHANNESBURG — Nic Haralambous has spent his entire working life as an entrepreneur. And as he tells me in this interview, "15 years of back-to-back failures" have taught him a hell of a lot and sparked the writer within him to pen his debut book entitled, DO FAIL LEARN REPEAT – The Truth Behind Building Businesses. Despite the challenging journey that he's embarked on, it's fair to say that he's also had some successes, with the sale of Motribe to Mxit in 2012 and his subsequent launch of online (and brick-and-mortar) fashion stores 'Nic Harry'. But even amid the successes, Nic says he's had dark moments. He now wants to tell his story to SA and hopes that budding entrepreneurs will lend an ear. It's a fascinating interview and a must-listen for anybody looking to take the leap into the startup world or even change the direction of their careers. - Gareth van Zyl

TechCentral — In this episode of the podcast, Duncan McLeod interviews entrepreneur and newly published author Nic Haralambous about the highlights -- and the dark side -- of entrepreneurship and why he wrote a warts-and-all book about it. The book, called "Do. Fail. Learn. Repeat.: The Truth Behind Building Businesses", details Haralambous's upbringing, his time at university -- including working on the student newspaper and starting his first business from campus -- to his time as a journalist and ultimately venturing out on his own. He talks about his time as a journalist at the Financial Mail, why he later joined the Mail & Guardian, why he quit to join online video start-up Zoopy and his decision to join his friend "V" -- who he doesn't name in the book -- at Vodacom. He talks candidly about their venture, Motribe, moving to Cape Town, raising venture capital and how things ultimately came apart at the seams. Haralambous, who now runs retailer NicHarry.com and who has recently become involved in launching cryptocurrency website CoinInsider.com, talks in detail about the tough times he has faced as an entrepreneur and why he decided to write a tell-all book about it. It's a great interview, with detailed insights into the difficulties involved in starting and building a business. Don't miss it!

The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield interviews NicHarry founder Nic Haralambous for his weekly small business feature.

9 out of 10 of Nic's previous businesses were failures. And that's something which he attributes to his current success. In this episode, we spoke to Nic Haralambous, who admits to having a sock fetish. Nic is the founder of the luxury men's brand, Nic Harry, and started his business by selling socks that he had to Photoshop into pairs. His first stock cost only $300, which he quickly converted to almost $5000 in sales. We also dive into how he started selling socks to get out of a depressive funk, what's he's learn about being an entrepreneur and running physical retail stores is much easier than Ecommerce. Some of the best quotes from the episode: “I’m pretty well-versed in failure.” “This thing has grown a little bigger than I thought it would.” “Our business is about gut decisions with a little bit of data behind it.” “Business is about tenacity, resilience and how pain you can handle.” “You have to be pre-conditioned to like the not-fun parts of being an entrepreneur.” “How do you know what success looks like if you haven’t failed?” “We solve problems manually for as long as we physically can.” “You have to offer value before you sell something.” Find Nic Harry elsewhere: Store: http://nicharry.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/nicharrystyle Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NicHarryStyle Pinterest: https://za.pinterest.com/nicharrystyle Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicharrystyle Credits: Music featured in this episode was "Celery Man" by Birocratic and can be found at www.soundcloud.com/birocratic.

Tefo Mohapi was invited to speak at Tech4Africa 2015 last week. He shared on the important work that he and his team at iAfrikan are continuing to do in spearheading the ground-breaking Report Xenophobia campaign. While at the event, Tefo was lucky enough to sit in on a talk by Nic Haralambous, who opened his talk with this outlandish statement, "I believe everyone who starts a business is a bit broken." Nic is the founder of Nic Harry— a successful Cape Town-based “luxury men’s sock company” he built from scratch. Nic’s thought-provoking views on the realities of startup life and what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur sparked a great conversation that Tefo and Andile Masuku had on this week’s show. Along with all the week's most important digital, tech and innovation news, do listen in for the low-low on all the cool stuff members of the team at the African Tech Round-up will be getting up to in the final quarter of 2015. Here's what trending this week: -- South African tech firm Altron spills how much they made and mostly lost on the doomed Altech Node video-on-demand device, -- Facebook and Eutelsat set to share the entire broadband payload on Spacecom’s future AMOS-6 satellite, -- Zimbabwean mobile network operator Econet continues a legal bid to overturn the directive by the Posts and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz) for mobile companies to lower voice tariffs, and -- South African telecoms giant Telkom Telkom is being criticised for exposing customer personal data.
