On this week's show, I don't have a live guest. I have been away, and unfortunately, a few of the guests have not been able to record their own yet.


So, instead, I'm bringing back one of the most listened to and interesting episodes I've ever recorded, and that's with James Caan CBE. 



Most people know James Caan from his time on Dragons’ Den. What most people don't know is that James made his money from the recruitment sector.



James launched his own business, Alexander Mann Solutions, and is now the founder of Recruitment Entrepreneur, helping recruiters startup and scale up recruitment organisations all over the world. 



James is a celebrity, and in this episode that I recorded at the beginning of 2021, we got right into James's story and advice for anyone else growing, starting, launching, and becoming a successful recruitment owner.



We covered:



🎙Launching, growing and selling Alexander Mann in 2013 for £260 million


🎙How he felt when he had enough money to retire at 42 years old


🎙Growing Humana International and moving into private equity with Hamilton Bradshaw


🎙Launching Recruitment Entrepreneur in 2014, investing in more than 32 founders to date


🎙The impact his 3 million LinkedIn followers had on his career/business?


🎙Why he loves the industry and keeps on going when he simply doesn’t need to!



James is really humble, honest, and genuine. I hope you get value from this episode.
