KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Caiden - What was your favorite part about writing the book Young & Mighty?
  • Henry - Interviewing the celebrities, we interviewed 15 different celebrities and they gave us some fantastic information.

  • Caiden - What was it like saying you’re an author for the first time?
  • Henry - It was a surreal feeling, because the book was in planning for so long, but it was a crazy feeling, in truth it’s was a group effort.
  • Caiden - Is the book aimed at a younger or older audience?
  • Henry - You could be aged 8 or 800, it’s a book you can pick up anywhere and pick out something of value.
  • Caiden - Where did the idea for your foundation Young & Mighty come from?
  • Henry - I started to get lots of letters from young people wanting to start a business, so that’s where the book came from, although I also wanted to do something a bit more personal, so I created a website with downloadable content and online courses, such as the ‘Idea into a thing’ course and the ‘build a business course’ to help you both start and grow businesses.
  • Caiden - What is the best part about having a foundation that helps other people?
  • Henry - The best part is helping other people, I’m trying to give back to others.
  • Caiden - Can you give us some more information on your other venture ‘Not Before Tea?’
  • Henry - ‘Not Before tea’ is a children’s brand that sells merchandise from a book I wrote when I was 10, although I’m focusing more of my time on ‘Young & Mighty.
  • Caiden - Where did the phrase ‘Young & Mighty’ come from?
  • Henry - I really wanted something that is specifically for young people, and that isn’t patronising.
  • Caiden - What does the phrase Young Achievers mean to you?
  • Henry - Young Achievers means success isn’t just for adults, young people are independent and successful in their own right.
