Abel Samet is the Co-Founder of Troubadour Goods. He was working in London with a colleague Samuel Bail and they loved to do marathon's, triathlons and have adventures. The pair couldn't find a bag that they could use to both pack their stuff and take to work and so they set out trying to make one for themselves.

You'll hear how that went in the podcast but suffice to say they've built a business that now sells online & in major department stores across the world and they've branched out in to other accessories as well.

This is a great story of how a passion to create something great can lead to a business & a life of fulfillment.

Today's podcast is our first repeat guest and our first deep dive episode.

Some of the feedback I've had around the podcast is that we only skim the surface of people's businesses and some people want us to look behind the curtain.

So, in what will be the first of many episodes where we look at what skills people are bringing to their world, we speak to life coach Dan Piler about what he actually does and how he helps.

I think there is lots to takeaway from this episode and I hope you enjoy.

Whilst buying Nike ID trainers in 2009, business students & best friends Daniel Price & his co-founder Jonny Sitton had the idea to set up a business personalising baby clothes as there are 800,000 babies born each year & around 15 gifts per baby!

Hear the story of how they went from selling one order a day in a brook cupboard sized office to being in Selfridges, Harrods & having Royalty wear their clothes.

This is a brilliant story where their perception became their reality & how the best PR can come purely from thinking outside the box.

Daniel recommends 'Delivering Happiness' from Tony Hsieh, 'When I stop talking, you'll know i'm dead' by Jerry Weintrub as well as perennial favourite 'Shoe Dog' by Phil Knight.

My recommendation this week is podcast - 'Grief is my superpower' by Mark Lemon.

Max Rofagha has a tough job on his hands. Having sold his first business Max was looking into what to do with his finances & how to make informed decisions about his money. He found that he couldn't trust the banks, nor the online robo's and he didn't find a financial adviser to connect with & so he had a problem......

Max's entrepreneurial spirit took over & there and then he decided he wanted to build something where people could go to educate themselves about their money & put people in control.

In the UK there is a big gap around advice & Finimize was set up to make finance simple. An idea that is close to my heart.

Hear all about what they're building, Max's background & what the future holds for Finimize.

Hannah Feldman had an extremely distinguished professional career prior to Co-Founding Kidadl. She worked for three of the biggest companies in three different sectors (advertising, law & banking) before working for ex Dragon James Kahn. It's fair to say she could have easily continued down the corporate route.

However, she always knew she had the entrepreneurial spirit and it took an introduction via her cousin to her co-founder Sophie Orman to light the spark and Kidadl was born.

Here we tell the story of there initial meeting, sharing a vision, raising capital, building apps, marketing and building Kidadl to what it is today.

You can find the site www.kidadl.com and the social handles for both Hannah & Kidadl are as follows.
