Mark Bracknall, MD of Theo James - The Highs and Lows Of Building a Business

After 12 months and 28 guests it was my turn to get the other side of the desk!

Shaun Campbell was the man to step up to the Mic and interview me on the journey so far...

I was a little nervous, but thoroughly enjoyed it. I knew how important it would be for me to be 100% honest and transparent about running a business, and we get properly into the highs and lows of it. 

I am incredibly proud of what we have built over the last 7 years and this felt like the right time to go through it all.

 

Thank you Shaun for playing the part so well.

 

I would be extremely grateful for anyone liking and subscribing to our podcast on your preferred channel of Youtube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
