“You need people around you that complement you, that can support you when times are really tough, times like now. My parents didn't have a curated network of complementary partners and people that they could talk to, someone just to have a coffee with; a lawyer, a solicitor, an accountant, a tax advisor, a HR advisor, a marketeer.”

“Sometimes you’ve just got to get on and do it. Roll your sleeves up, get stuck in. The power of aspiration is incredible. If you're hungry, and you really want to make this happen, you will make it happen.”
