----more----Culture in the workplace In this conversation, we discuss the importance of culture in the workplace and its impact on employee engagement, happiness, and business performance. What is company culture? Our guest Nick Jenkins who has 10 years of leading culture change, highlights the alarming statistics of employee unhappiness and disengagement and emphasises the need for leaders to take responsibility for improving culture. Nick defines workplace culture as "the way things are done in an organisation" and explains that it consists of behaviours, rituals, traditions, practices, and approaches. He also emphasises that culture exists in various touchpoints, such as communication, collaboration, leadership, recognition, and processes. What makes a good culture? Nick shares his journey into culture and how he helps businesses unlock their potential and perform at their best. He provides insights into what makes a good culture, including attracting the right talent, enabling employee development, aligning with business goals, empowering employees, and retaining top talent. What are the signs of a toxic culture? Nick also discusses the signs of a toxic culture and the first steps companies should take to revamp their culture. He emphasises the importance of engaging employees, co-creating a winning culture, and establishing trust. Nick offers tips for leaders to implement today, such as assembling a culture team with diverse representation, focusing on quick wins, and measuring behaviors to ensure alignment with values and culture. He concludes by highlighting the ongoing nature of culture and the need for continuous effort and accountability. Key Takeaways Culture is a critical factor in employee engagement, happiness, and business performance. Leaders must take responsibility for improving culture and creating the right conditions for success to flourish. A good culture attracts the right talent, enables employee development, aligns with business goals, empowers employees, and retains top talent. Toxic cultures can be identified by signs such as disengagement, lack of communication, absence of career progression, and unclear values. Changing culture requires clear communication, involvement of employees, prioritisation of actions, and measurement of behaviours. Culture is an ongoing journey that requires continuous effort, accountability, and adaptation to changing circumstances. ----more---- Connect with Nick Jenkins on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjjenkins/ Click here to take the quiz to see how effective is your company culture.https://effectiveculture.scoreapp.com/ Nick Jenkins website https://www.nickjenkins.co/ ----more---- The podcast is brought to you by RJEN SECURE AND SCALE REVENUE GROWTH Our free online events help you stay ahead and scale B2B revenue growth.

In today's episode, we continue our conversation with Nick Jenkins. If you missed last week's episode you can catch up HERE, where we discussed how Nick enabled Moonpig's extraordinary growth, his unique insights on customer service, building and trusting your team, and marketing. In Part 2, Nick shares his thoughts on ways to help you overcome the discomfort of pitching by focusing on your passion and the problem your product solves. He shares common mistakes to avoid, and we explore the difference between stubbornness and tenacity, emphasising the importance of being open to feedback. Nick also highlights the need to focus on your core business before diversifying and the value of simplicity in business communications. He talks about the power of organic growth and genuine customer referrals over gimmicky promotions, and hugely importantly, and my biggest takeaway, he shared his personal strategies for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. My favourite part of the conversation and biggest takeaway was when Nick shared his personal strategies for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. His approach to scheduling activities outside of work and avoiding unnecessary commitments is inspiring and practical; I hope you find the conversation helpful too. https://www.philippacraddock.com/podcast-041
In today's episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by our first guest, Nick Jenkins. Nick is the founder of Moonpig.com and many of you will know him as a former dragon on the BBC series 'Dragon's Den'. Through our conversation, Nick shares his journey from his early career in Moscow to becoming one of the UK's most successful entrepreneurs. We discuss the insights that led to the creation of the revolutionary online retailer that transformed the greeting card industry with its unique personalised cards. There was so much to discuss that we split the conversation into two parts to keep each one bite size and actionable, and so as not to lose any of his insights. In Part 1, we look at Nick's entrepreneurial beginnings and how Moonpig was born, the criteria he set for his business, and how he enabled its extraordinary growth. We explore customer service, discussing how technology can help, but every brand definitely needs the founder's personality and care, and how it can be a real opportunity to develop a truly positive relationship with your customers. We also talk about failures, hiring, building and trusting your team, and marketing. And finally, in this first Part, I ask Nick about any standout moments for him on 'Dragon's Den,' which he shares both happily and amusingly. I'm excited to share our conversation with you in the audio above and show notes below. https://www.philippacraddock.com/podcast-040

Are you paralyzed by the size of your goals? If so, you are not alone. When we're thinking of doing something new, we may create a vision that instead of inspiring us, leads to overwhelm and we never get started. I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Nick Jenkins, an internal medicine hospitalist who started with an oversized vision of having his own DPC practice but was able to start instead with more of a lemonade stand version. In today's episode, Dr. Jenkins shares his story of leaving his teaching hospitalist job, overcoming burnout, and how he creatively started his practice on a shoestring budget. You can find the show notes for this episode and more information by clicking here: www.doctorscrossing.com/episode150 In this episode we're talking about: Experiences that helped Dr. Jenkins realize changes were necessary The adjustments he made, personally and professionally, before leaving his position When he knew it was time to make a career change How a mixology certification course was a helpful step in his journey His grassroots approach to building his new practice Advice to get started when a large goal feels overwhelming How Dr. Jenkins feels now, one year into his practice Links for this episode: Evergreen Internal Medicine - Dr. Jenkin's DPC Practice Check out our Free Resources!

“If the product is good enough, ultimately the business will succeed.” In today's 40 Minute Mentor episode, we're joined by Nick Jenkins, Founder of Moonpig, former Dragon on BBC hit show Dragons' Den and angel investor. Due to its incredible success story, greeting card business Moonpig probably doesn't need much of an introduction, but we don't often hear about the challenges it took to overcome to eventually sell Moonpig for £120 million to Photobox Group in 2011. In today's episode, Nick shares buckets of candid insights and mentorship, including: Nick's career before Moonpig and why he received a death threat [06:23]What inspired him to start Moonpig and how he turned the business around before it went bust [08:35]The story behind the iconic Moonpig jingle [15:10]What made Moonpig so successful and Nick's biggest learnings from scaling the business [20:01]His advice on hiring for the right fit and how to nurture a great team culture [23:17]How he approached figuring out what to do after he sold Moonpig and how he landed in the charity sector [29:11]What it was like to become CEO of someone else's business after selling his own [31:12]His involvement with the charity sector today and advice for anyone looking to give back [33:06]What it was really like on Dragons' Den and some of the scenes you might have not seen on TV [38:31]His advice for any Founders looking to raise angel investment [43:01]
In these ‘Moment' episodes of my podcast, I'll be selecting my favourite moments from previous episodes of The Diary Of A CEO. Nick Jenkins is the founder and former CEO of Moonpig.com, a company which revolutionised gift cards and is now worth over one and a half billion pounds. In this moment, Nick shares his wisdom with us on the importance of having good communication skills from public speaking to stand-out graphics and polished writing. Your ability to articulate yourself, think coherently and coerce a logical argument is vital to all walks of life whether that is business related or not. People often think that to be a good communicator you have to nail those public speaking events, but what Nick notes is that actually we practice articulating ourselves everyday. Making eye contact, engaging in conversations and listening to people are all things we can do. The more we output, whether that be speaking, writing or drawing the better we naturally become at communicating with people. We compare this to sales because at the baseline, we are always selling ourselves to people we meet, persuading others that we are the best. Nick is an incredible guy who leans on the power of composing yourself well in front of others in order to succeed.

Well, friend, first of all, this podcast is here to expand your ideas of dads, plus I'm an Equal Opportunity Daughter™ and I like to encourage people to apply even if they aren't a traditional dad-type.

Nick Jenkins I am delighted to be talking to a good friend of mine today, Nick Jenkins. Nick's involvement in journalism and charity work has led to some fascinating stories. We talk about how spotting opportunities are often about being determined and interested in people, and never giving up on a good story is a good hack style. Nick talks about interviewing Rick Parfitt from Status Quo following a lead that became a massive story about the Myra Hindley and also being involved in the early days of a conservation charity before it became a massive player in world politics.

Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes when one well-known start up buys another well-known start up? Well, wonder no more. You’ve heard us talk to both Nick Jenkins (founder of Moonpig) and Graham Hobson (founder of Photobox) in Series One. But we thought it would be fun to bring them together and have a Q&A with them, side by side. So that’s just what we did. Because you normally only hear the side of the story from the founder who sold their company. You rarely, if ever, hear the story from the founder who bought the company being sold. In this case the wildly successful personalised e-card company, Moonpig.com, that sold for £120m to photo printing giants, Photobox in 2011, which then itself went onto sell for a reported £400m+.You’re in for a treat today - you get to hear from both sides - the good, the bad and the ugly of what happens during a M&A. That and you get a bucket load of advice from two Angel investors who between them have sunk a lot of money into the next generation of start ups. So grab a cuppa and sit down to hear not one, but two entrepreneurial powerhouses talk about how they started and how they became millionaires. Listen out, there are tips aplenty. We chat about:The 4 crap ideas that came before MoonpigWhat happened when Nick and Graham first met Selling your business to your main rivalTop tips on securing an exit The dribble and shake theoryNegotiating the deal, going through M&AThe importance of culture integrationWhat it’s like to actually buy a companyThe pros and cons of being a DragonThe art of Angel investingLinks:Nick Jenkins - MoonpigGraham Hobson - PhotoboxWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

Nick is a serial investor in early stage technology businesses, known for founding Moonpig.com and for his stint as a Dragon on BBC Dragon’s Den. Moonpig was the first disruptive technology business in the greeting cards sector, generating sales of £400,000 per employee compared to its High St rival Clinton Cards who managed £30,000 per employee. Clinton Cards went into administration in May 2012 with the loss of several hundred jobs. Moonpig made cards better, funnier and more convenient for 5 million customers a year by 2011 when Nick sold the business. But should he have been concerned about the impact on employment? Nick is now a serial investor in technology business, including autonomous driving technology.Nick will be asking whether or not entrepreneurs and investors should take into account the impact on society of disruptive technology or whether the state should set the parameters within which we should work.
Today we're joined by Nick Jenkins who will help us discuss everything from salty sweet foods to teaching at a university to why Twitter was suddenly full of butts!
In the final episode of our special ‘mini series’ trilogy discussing John Kershaw's pitch on BBC's Dragons’ Den, we have John talk us through his pitch from the episode and create a contestant's commentary. This is surely the first time this has been done for a pitch on the show (probably). You’re welcome, BBC! This is a stand-alone bonus trilogy so you do not need to have listened to our previous episodes to enjoy this one.You can watch John's pitch on M14 Industries' YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4PZywrm6TY.Exciting points from this episode include:00:53 Director's Commentary:As the team settle in to watch John’s pitch to the Dragons, John talks us through his initial trepidations and his whole approach to his pitch: the beard, the shirt, and what exactly you end up doing while you’re waiting for the lift to take you into the Den.05:53 The PitchThe three most polished minutes of John’s life (his words!). John takes us through the anatomy of his pitch – his style, body language, “mic drop” moments and verbal killing blows, stunning statistics, the product he was actually pitching, and how much practice it takes to give a pitch that makes the Dragons smile.17:00 Post-Pitch Discussion and OffersJohn goes head to head with the Dragons, explaining M14 Industries and Bristlr, sidestepping NDA issues. We also discuss some vital – but lengthy - points that didn’t make the edit, and John’s surprise at suddenly finding that five Dragons are keen to invest in his business, and just how fragile, and complicated, that became.39:30 Deal Done!John talks us through his initial thought process when he was given offers by all five Dragons and how this played out on the episode. We also discuss his thoughts in hindsight on how well he did, if he would change anything, and his feelings about his Dragons’ Den experience – and this episode.Quotes of Dragon Slayer:John: (03:31) "This is my drama GCSE coming to the fore"Kaitlyn: (04:16) "You're running a business, you haven't got time to iron the back of your shirt"John: (08:28) "So I'm explaining the old, the new, still not solving the problem. By the way, did I mention billions and billions of pounds?"John: (12:10) "I’ve done this exact pitch enough times where people like about 20 minutes in like, "oh BEARD, I thought you said beer!" And they think that it's like a pilsner-matching service"Rate and Share this Podcast:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts.
In this special episode, we welcome John Kershaw back to the studio to talk about his pitch on BBC's Dragons’ Den. This is a stand-alone bonus trilogy so you do not need to have listened to our previous episodes to enjoy this one.04:20: Stability of a Den DealHalf of the deals made in the Den fall through – why? John breaks down the reality of what a deal in the Den – televised to 3 million people – means as a business owner and reasons why a deal might fall apart, from differences to other investment routes, to complicated T&Cs, growth strategies, the company valuation, and more.12:16: Investments, How Do They Work?Naturally, John’s had a few investors interested in Bristlr and M14 industries. How does it all work? How do they get paid back? It must be more complicated than throwing around buzzwords like “share buyback”! John explains all, packaged nicely as business investment advice.16:47: PR from the DenOf course, pitching successfully on the Den can be a massive PR opportunity, and John describes the immediate knock-on effect on his business, for both Bristlr and M14 Industries – and shares his advice on how to prepare your website for a big increase in visitors. We also attempt a quick-fire round of questioning for John.27:26: Side-effectsWhat are the best and worst elements to appearing on a huge show like Dragons’ Den? John celebrates how one of his best ever pitches is now documented forever – but what were the greater opportunities to come out of his appearance, a few years after the fact? And are there any downsides to recognition and greater responsibility as a business owner?37:04: John’s Day-to-DayNow that John is a Dragon Slayer, how do things behind the scenes at M14 Industries look? As John delves into how he works on his businesses and his tips on working efficiently, we take time to discuss the UK working week, productivity, and engagement.42:34: Dragon RelationshipsDo the Dragons get along? Probably. But John lets us in on his interpretation of their on-and-off-set personas and gives us a little insight into what it’s like to be sweating right in front of them.Fact Check:Michael: (04:20): "In 2015, The Sunday Telegraph Newspaper published a report that revealed that half of Dragons' Den investments fall through after the show": https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/02/11/half-of-dragons-den-investments-fall-through-after-the-show/Michael: (16:35) “Maybe Peter Jones has got a sock company”: http://www.peterjones.com/news-entry/_/launch-of-peter-jones-range-of-socks/21/Michael: (38:52): "I think it's Sweden or somewhere... they really promote shorter weeks": https://www.instantoffices.com/blog/featured/countries-that-defy-the-9-to-5Rate and Share this Podcast:If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts.
In this special episode, we welcome John Kershaw back to the studio to talk about his pitch on BBC's Dragons’ Den. This is a stand-alone bonus trilogy so you do not need to have listened to our previous episodes to enjoy this one.02:25 Fame and RecognitionJohn talks gaining recognition after appearing on the show and why he originally applied: was it a serious investment route or simply a great PR opportunity? We also discuss John’s expectations, contestant advice, and his Dragon Dating app that never saw the light of day.10:24: How Much Do You Ask For?When you’re asking for money, how much is enough? John breaks down how his original bid might’ve been a little bit too ambitious (meeting “that mental mark of a big investment”) and how this all changed between his initial idea and his televised pitch. Those sneaky BBC editors.14:48: The DenHow does it all work? John talks turning up early, nerves, the green room, the pre-pitch interview, make-up, and everything that turns a humble bearded entrepreneur into a dazzling TV businessman. Plus, we find out just how much footage ends up on the cutting room floor, and what the DD set is really like.24:16 The DragonsFierce, feisty, and fiscal: John elaborates on which Dragons he faced, and which ones he most wanted to invest in his company. We also ask if John’s original idea was to try and get investment from more than one Dragon, and John mentions just how difficult is it to remember all five Dragons’ names in the heat of the moment.30:37: The DealWhat happens after the lights go off and the credits roll? John remembers the immediate aftermath of leaving the Den, how the deal is processed from TV to real life, how he kept in contact with the Dragons after the deal, and, of course, the now famous Dragons’ Den potato.36:57: Pitch Practice to get Pitch PerfectJohn talks through his pitching methods and how he was in completely mastermind-ultimate-pub-quiz ready for his pitch to the Dragons – from practising with ‘competitive pitching’ to having the perfect script. How easy is it to cram your business goals into 3 very short minutes?47:59 Reality Hits!What was it like to deal with that post-deal rush? John discusses the initial ‘wow’ moment of receiving offers from the Dragons, talking to other Den contestants, and how his deal led to other business opportunities.Fact Check:Kaitlyn: (50:19): "What's a group of dragons called?"There are a few fun collective nouns for mythical dragons, including: a flight of dragons, a weyr of dragons, or our favourite, a wing of dragons. A group of Komodo Dragons is a bank. Neither should be confused with A Dance with Dragons, the fifth novel of the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, DragonForce, a British power metal band, or Imagine Dragons, a pop rock band from Las Vegas.

When we first started Sexplanations YouTube channel Nick Jenkins and I were putting out two videos a week. Two videos?! I think back on those days when I was also teaching at the university, seeing clients, raising kids, and three dogs. It's mind-blowing to me that we made twice as many videos in a year then, as we've made podcasts in just this last year. It explains why the topic of today's podcast is about a Valentine's Day villain, Anthony Comstock. To give a quick summary: Comstock convinced the U.S. government to let him regulate the postal system with a gun. He was responsible for keeping information about contraception, sexual health, erotica, sex ed etc out of circulation. Nothing lacivious was permitted in the mail so hundreds of thousands were left without access to information or if they sent it or got it anway -- they were jailed. What an evil baby!! There are things happening now that censor of sexuality too -- demonetization of channels by LGBT and sex educators, denial of comprehensive sex education in schools, outright lying about our bodies and our identities. I hate it. It's harmful to withhold what we all need to protect ourselves. So this episode of the podcast is all my feelings on it and a quick run through of solutions.

In this episode I speak with a dragon... in the TV sense at least! I had the pleasure of chatting with Nick Jenkins; founder of Moonpig.com, Dragon on the BBC's Dragon's Den, Philanthropist, and Angel Investor. Nick has an amazing backstory, starting with him reading Russian at university, before going on to live in the Soviet Union (as it then was) and surviving its downfall. Further to starting and successfully exiting a business in Russia, Nick went on to do an MBA in the UK during which time he came up with the idea for Moonpig.com. After years of planning, hard work, and very impressive growth, Nick sold Moonpig for a cool £120,000,000 (
Attract Opportunities Through Gratitude I'm the kind of person who will tell you thank you twice for something then proceed to tell you again an hour later. Not only that, I have zero issues with dishing out a hug or two when someone makes my day. You've officially been warned so be prepared to get uncomfortable if we ever meet. This may annoy people, but I'd rather be the person who says thank you too much than the person who doesn't at all. With tomorrow being Thanksgiving, I not only want to show some public gratitude but also want to challenge your way of thinking as we close off 2017. What I talk about many people won't be open to nor agree with and that's totes okay. This show is meant to challenge the lens of how you see the world, hence the name Perspective Podcast. I'm a very open-minded person. However, growing up I was extremely narrow-minded. Believing only what people closest to me influenced me to believe. I was closed off to anything that challenged my way of thinking. Yet I was always a thankful person. While I never came from money, I realize that I had a lot of things going for me. There was always a support system of family and friends around me. Fast forward to today. While I may not accept everything, like how someone can support Trump, my goal is to understand and form my opinion from there. So today, I want you to be open-minded about a concept of gratitude and the Law of Attraction. You don't have to accept it but seek first to understand than to be understood as Steven Covey states. What Do You Have to Lose? Until I hit my early to mid-twenties, I had spent my life playing a victim. My mind was wired to expect nothing significant to come my way and that's exactly what manifested...nothing. It seemed I could never catch a break as I was lost drifting day-day-to with no purpose. I needed a change. But in order for me to change, I had to change my way of thinking. I was introduced to the Law of Attraction from my Aunt Margie when she gifted me the book The Secret. The concept seemed a bit crazy but I figured what did I have to lose? I had only everything to gain. Being skeptical, I dug a little deeper and found a ton of scientific evidence tied to this theory. What sold me was some of the biggest celebrities I respect such as Will Smith, Jim Carey, Oprah Winfrey and Denzel Washington swear about how they've applied this to their lives. There are flaws in The Secret that understandably create skeptics. Yet this book opened me to a new way of thinking that has benefited me throughout the years. Your Thoughts Create Your Reality Over a year ago, My good friend Scott Biersack (@Youbringfire) recommended two books by the author named Pam Grout. The first book was: E-Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality. The second book was Thank & Grow Rich: A 30-Day Experiment in Shameless Gratitude and Unabashed Joy. The principles I learned from The Secret were amplified upon reading New York Times Best Seller E-Squared. Pam gives you practical steps and tests for changing how you think in order to attract positive change in your life. Her book Thank & Grow Rich relates specifically to attracting things into your life through gratitude. I believe 100% that it works after the abundant amount of opportunities that have come my way the last 3 years. Two Steps for Using Gratitude Effectively Here's a brief excerpt from a blog post of hers relating to her theory of gratitude: "Ferocious gratitude, as I wrote about in my last book, is causative energy. It literally brings things to life. Knowing and acknowledging that you live a blessed life makes things happen. It draws in even more blessings. In other words, gratitude is the foundation for all manifestation. There are two steps for using it most effectively. First, give thanks that whatever reality appears to be true right now is one of a gazillion possibilities. Struggling to pay your bills or flying solo may seem rock solid and an absolute fact, but it’s not. Not even close. It’s literally one tiny superposition in the quantum field. And we must start by celebrating the infinite (that’s so huge we can’t even get our minds around it) number of other potentialities that exist. Already. Right now. When we get really jazzed that whatever we have now is far from the final answer, the new can come quicker. Many people forget this first step. They build an altar to the reality they have now. They actually forget that it’s no more true than any other option. I say throw a party for the countless options available to you. Get out of problem state. Dive into possibility state. The last step, you already know. Say thanks for whatever new cool thing you plan to draw into your life. Say yes that it’s barreling your way. Jump for joy. Throw streamers." Focus on What You Have Steve Harvey is another person I admire for the way he thinks. He's on record in multiple instances of supporting Pam Grout's claim of using the power of gratitude. An excerpt from his blog post states: "You cannot run out of things to be grateful for. When you start fine tuning your gratitude, it's amazing. It changes your focus because now your focus is not on what you don’t have, your focus is on what you do have. When you change that focus through gratitude you then open up the path ways for more stuff to come to you. A lot of us are blocking our blessings today because we aren't grateful for the ones we have. We’re so busy telling God and putting out in the universe what we don’t have, that we're no longer receptive to things that we could have. You have now blocked all of your blessings from coming because your focus is not on the coming, it’s on the what you don't have." Additional Ingredients Before you dismiss this, all I ask is that you're open to understanding. How could you be more intentional and genuine in showing more gratitude in your life? It's a challenge not only to you but to myself as well. While I believe our thoughts create our reality, I think there are a few more ingredients in the mix as the dough alone can't make the pizza. I strongly feel grit, work ethic, tenacity and being a good person increase the chances of manifesting these opportunities. Thinking alone I don't feel will be enough, there needs to be action. Public Thanks To the Podcast Supporters This leads me to some public thank yous (which I still would've done even in my narrow-minded days). First off, I need to thank you, the listener. It took me 4 months to nut up to start this podcast as I was afraid failure and being scrutinized You have no idea what it means to me that you spend even a fraction of the limited time in your life to hang with me. I don't take it for granted and I cherish every share, comment, message review you've ever sent my way. This show would not exist without your support. Along with the listeners, a huge thank you goes to those who back the show over on Patreon.com/PerspectivePodcast. Your investment in the show is never lost on me and I'm forever grateful. Next, I want to thank everyone who has been on the podcast, hired me for a project in 2017 or invited me to any type of event to speak or teach. It's people like you who allow me to continue to find my voice and in turn share something I feel is valuable to the world. Personal Thank Yous As of late, there are some people that have helped me excel with some pretty large projects. I would be lost without advice from people like Colin Tierney, Ray Mawst, Roxy & Phoebe from Drunk on Lettering, my best friend Joey Bearbower and my mastermind group. The advice you've given me has helped me find my stride going into the New Year. I especially need to thank my family and friend for always believing in me, especially when I didn't believe in myself. Finally, my biggest thank you goes to my wife Emily. This woman is so supportive, patient and understanding. If anyone wants me to achieve my dream as much as me it's her. Thank you for being the most important person in my life. Check check, my final-final thank you goes to Nick Jenkins of Blookah for all the dope theme music you hear on this show. You can find more of his work at Soundcloud.com/Blookah. I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving and finish out the week strong. Keep showing up, keep putting in the work and keep creating. You got this.

In this episode you will learn;How he started his career in Russia working for the infamous MarkRich as an ‘intrapreneur’ and what that process taught him aboutbusiness.The value of being a sole founderHis definitions on focus,and how important that can be for someone who describes himself as‘easily distracted’.How he started an MBA knowing he’d most likelycome towards the bottom of the class but still be one of the onlypeople to start an actual business - and he was right on both fronts.And lots more of course...Key QuotesBeing considered by others as being fair in business is much morevaluable than being ruthless. If people need to check how manyfingers they’ve got left after a handshake, I dont understand howthat’s constructive to business.There’s nothing quite like ‘needing’ a business to work, and what’s more motivating than if you’ve put all your money in?Top Advice"As a founder, never, ever, do any work that you can pay someone else a simple basic wage to do. For starters, you are creating a job someone needs, and secondly, you’re more likely to create more jobs if you focus on your priorities and key skills like strategy and the big picture."“Write a business plan, and then spend as much time as you can looking around to see who else is doing it - and what you’ll do better. No harm in anyone doing it, just do it differently!”“You need to be decisive. What I learned whilst doing my MBA was there were many people far brighter than me who could do a bunch of presentations much better than I could, and yet they couldn’t pick one thing to go with and they never got anything properly off the ground - so being decisive is a key skill”.Other Facts:Yes, they had a pig in their office, and yes they had to take it for walks all the time.He failed a business which led him to be sure he needed an MBA before starting MoonpigMoonpig ended up being one of 5 ideas developed through his MBA

I have a confession to make. I am a long time milk-aholic. In my youth I drank it straight, in high-school and college I would go through a gallon a week absolutely drowning bowls of cereal multiple times a day, and now that I’ve given up straight dairy and things like cereal, I’ve replaced liquid milk with it’s solid butter and cheese cousins. Who doesn’t love a salty gruyere or a creamy brie? Who doesn’t love butter on…everything? Yep all of my life I’ve owed a huge debt to our good friend, the dairy cow. Today we learn about how our amazing friends are fed and what impacts the finished product that we love.
