This week Chris talks to James Brown, CEO of Brewdog Bars and Co-Founder of TIPJAR.

During the episode Chris & James discuss the journey James & TIPJAR have been on since first meeting Chris at an EXP101 event back in 2019. A lot has happened since then on James’s journey with both Brewdog and TIPJAR.

Amongst huge growth and product iterations James teaches us a fairly big lesson about trademarking your product. It's a remarkable series of events with one of the tech world's giants, lawyers, counter offers and a German court ruling…you need to tune into hear this!!

Apart from that big news, we also discuss the following,

• TIPJAR’s inception and uncovering a problem no one else wanted to solve!

• Building a tech product in a pandemic

• Hiring and keeping great people

• Protecting your product and fighting for what's yours.

• Supporting the hospitality industry and putting cash back in the workers pockets

• Brewdog’s global domination and looking after people, regardless of what the papers say!

• Getting the industry legislation ready 

• Running two companies and finding balance between family life and worklife.
