Before we dive into this brand new episode with Ben Brooks, CEO & Founder of PILOT Inc, we want to tell you about an awesome opportunity we have for our Stage One Day 1's!

No catch. Just a simple THANK YOU for being a regular listener of our show :-)WHO IS BEN BROOKS?

Now more importantly, we have got a power hour episode with a name that may ring a bell to you if you are one of our day 1 listeners. Ben Brooks featured on episode 05 to talk about how PILOT was helping to improve careers at work to keep people interested in their jobs and leading a successful career.

We decided to bring Ben back because since then (2 years ago), Ben has made some interesting moves and pivots with his company PILOT. So much so that he has changed the business model in quite a way that at the time of doing so, he saw being a very very risky move - but which you will hear from this episode, has actually gone in his favour and has increased scalability on his part whilst still meeting the end goal and purpose of his company, and bringing successful results to his clients.

We wanted to hear about the pivot, why Ben decided to take this route, and how it has helped him grow as an entrepreneur, grow his company and become more wealthy in knowledge and experience in the entrepreneurial industry.
