Giuseppe is the founder of Contapp, an App that is helping replace the physical paper business card.

When Giuseppe was faced with finding an alternative to a business card he saw the opportunity and decided to do something about it. What started with a modern way to store other peoples business cards at networking events (which let's face it, usually end up in the bin!) is expanding into more helpful features.

Not only is this a practical and useful tool, but it is also helping to reduce the environmental impact. Hear what Giuseppe has to say about this and some crazy facts!

Starting a business is super exciting and it's really easy to get carried away with the exciting 'shiny' things that are involved with getting it off the ground.

But before you get too far down the track, make sure you do this one thing...speak to your target audience and get validation!

It sounds so simple and obvious, right?

But you would be surprised how many people (and pretty clever ones at that) just don't do this critical step until it's too late! Maybe it's scary! Who knows! But it's a mistake lots of you are making.

Courtenay is the founder of his family business Huers Clothing, an ethically focused Cornish clothing brand.

With strong core values of sustainability, the environment and family values. Huers have developed a strong and loyal fan base of people who love the brand.

As Courtenay put's it himself:

"It's the middle of the Cornish winter. There's a dirty, howling wind outside and the rain is beating on the windows of our favourite harbour-side pub. We're sat around a table near the bar, slowly drying off after a soaking on the beach. After a few pints of local ale, we decide we want to create a proper Cornish clothing brand, both simple in design and high in quality. The next day we set to work and Huers Clothing Co. was launched in the summer of 2016."

In this episode, I share my thoughts on this topic and why every business no matter what sector or industry they serve, need to be social!
