My friend Alex Chisnall did me the honour of joining me on the podcast to talk about his journey from cabin crew, to not being able to get a job interview at Tesco to becoming an entrepreneur.   Come on his journey from serving drinks at 35,000 feet to having a number one podcast on its 500 episode after 6 years and his own successful podcast agency.   He's the man responsible for helping me get How Not to Run a Business off the ground, so he's a very special guest.   It's an open, honest, and frank conversation about his journey, his successes and failures. He started his journey having no idea what he wanted to do. After spending a year developing a business plan, he got started building a sports injury clinic. It all came crashing down around Alex to the point he had a debt collector park his car on his drive and refuse to move it until he paid up. Now he's running his podcast and his podcast agency.   This is an important lesson in scaling too quickly and taking a step back from your business too quickly, not planning and avoiding paying your rent!   We touch on his journey to launch his podcast from 2 downloads in the first week, then to 50,000 downloads a week. It's a great lesson is perseverance and determination.   It's an incredible conversation, Alex's honest is refreshing and you will learn a lot! Hosted on Acast.
