My guest for episode #12 is Oscar Brooks, the tech entrepreneur who founded V88 (a ‘No-Code’ agency) at the age of 21. 

Oscar has gone on to become a thought leader in the No-Code space and V88 now has over 60 clients across 9 countries.

I believe a lot of that success is due to Oscar & his leadership. Oscar is humble, honest and a real family man who also treats his team like family while ensuring they delight every customer.

Oscar is on a mission to spread the word of No-Code technology & transform businesses across the globe - this is the definitive interview about his story so far…

When I first came up with the concept for Success on the South Coast, I was determined to shine a light on people from a wide variety of backgrounds from the arts, business & community projects.

However, it never crossed my mind that I would meet someone like James Benson-King, my guest for episode #10 (a very special milestone!).

James is an Explorer & Adventurer who goes by the name of ‘The Biking Viking’ for his endurance cycling challenges. 

Having completed a 20,000 mile cycle tour from Alaska to Argentina, James is taking it to the next level for his next adventure: he plans to be the first human to cycle across Antarctica (yes, cycle… on an actual bike!)

In this fantastic conversation, James shares amazing stories from his escapades: cycling 500 miles with one leg, evading Narco’s in Mexico & supporting a world record breaking hand-biker in India.

James is also a “resilience cultivator”, content creator and event speaker who is on a mission “to inspire and empower others to embrace adventure, push their limits and pursue their dreams”, so look out for advice on how to cultivate your own resilience, push through challenges and pursue your own dreams.

In this episode we discuss:

When I came up with the concept for Success on the South Coast, Simone Ippolito was the first name on my wishlist of guests.

I first came across his name when I read an article in the local paper about the inaugural meeting of ‘Bring Community Power’. I was immediately intrigued by this ‘Italian guy’ who was spearheading a group driving positive change in Bournemouth. 

After digging deeper, I discovered Simone is an ex-pro basketball player and also the man behind numerous projects, including the ‘Dorset Wine Festival’.

Simone speaks from the heart so grab a glass of wine (preferably a good Italian red), sit back and enjoy!

Salute!
