After serving 11 years in the Royal Corps of Signals, Tim Jones founded Positive Transition Limited to help those leaving military service reaccustom to civilian life. 

His years of experience in the service have informed all parts of Positive Transition from the business model to the solution he offers to veterans. 

Now, he sits down with James Taylor of Roaring Mouse Public Relations to discuss how the skills he honed during his military service have translated to business leadership. 

Together they covered leadership values instilled as early as basic training, chains of command and compared leading under pressure to leading a business through the challenge of Covid-19. 

When it comes to scaling up, few people in the world know more than Annemie Ress.

She helped build PayPal, Skype and eBay, and now leads a team of people at PurpleBeach dedicated to helping organisations achieve exponential growth through innovation and transformation. 

In May, Annemie led a mentoring session for the Startupscale entrepreneurs, encouraging startup founders to think beyond digital, establish human connections, and invest in themselves as they seek to grow their businesses.

This episode of the podcast shares highlights from that session. Enjoy!
