An accountant who's not only far from boring, he's also young enough to not remember Betamax. Extra nerdy episode show notes, ahoy!!

Gareth Bown is a breath of fresh air in the world of accountancy.

Not only is he far from boring, he's actually a young, dynamic, entrepreneurial and ambitious business owner.

He has a mature head on young shoulders, and it shows in everything he does.

After deciding to go traveling at a very young age, despite pressure from his parents to 'get some money in', Gareth avoided the university route.

Instead, he wanted to get started in business.

In less than a year in his first job, he became a client manager responsible for a small portfolio of small businesses and individuals.

And once he got started, he was running downhill from there, to where he is now.

Regardless of your age, or employment status, we're confident you'll take a lot of inspiration from Gareth's story.

If you need more evidence of Gareth's engaging and dynamic personality, he's the first person who's turned the main microphone around and actually interviewed head 'Nerd' Tom himself!
