Words from Lisa

"I’ve always known I wanted more. I wanted to be more, experience more, earn more. Opportunities were thin on the ground where I grew up so I fell into an office job straight after school. I knew there must be more to life but I didn’t know what so I studied for a law degree whilst working full time. Once I’d graduated, I still didn’t feel like I was on the right path so I tried several other corporate career positions, working crazy 80 hour weeks. Everyone said I was lucky to be earning so much money and to have ‘fallen on my feet’ but I didn’t feel lucky."

That’s when everything changed.

Hero, Hustler, SECRET AGENT? So the man being billed as the real-life black James Bond fails the authenticity test at the first hurdle as he does not start with " King..Carlton, King!". But in every other way he is the genuine article. He can pump 10 bullets into six targets with a Glock 17 in less than 10 seconds – and that also includes replacing the magazine halfway through.

He has criss-crossed the globe tracking down the bad guys. And his impressive list of close protection assignments includes former PMs Tony Blair and Sir John Major and President Bill Clinton.

Now retired after 28 years with the Met Police, Special Branch and MI6, his close-cropped hair is greying and only the bone-crusher handshake hints at a life in active service.

King has dropped into the Heroes and Hustlers HQ to discuss his memoirs that are being published as an eBook entitled Black Ops, The Incredible True Story Of A British Secret Agent.

• Black Ops, The Incredible True Story Of A British Secret Agent is available in eBook format and is available this week in hardback from all good book stores*

He who is not sage and wise, humane and just, cannot use secret agents. And he who is not delicate and subtle cannot get the truth out of them.

Jason and Sam catch you up on season1-4. Is this your first episode or are you a subscriber that has not missed an episode since episode 1? This episode reminds you all we have been through and what is to come. We talk the story so far, what to look forward to, who we have had on, and what makes Season 5 so different. We also address the feasts and famines, ulcers and orgasms of the last seasons with companies that started and failed and started and soared.

Last episode of series 4 of The Show as we say....listen to find out

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak backs tech start-up Velapp which allows live editing of video. Scott speaks to the young entrepreneur, David de Min, aimed to emulate his idol after attracting the attention of the co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, the man who launched the world’s biggest company with Steve Jobs in 1976.

Before he went on stage, the tech guru spent half an hour with Mr de Min talking about his app, which allows users to select points of interest in videos when filming long clips – like when waiting for a baby to take its first steps. Mr de Min has been developing the app for the last year and has attracted £100,000 of investment so far, including a £25,000 interest-free loan from Kent County Council. He has also filed for an international patent. Jason speaks to him about his founder journey and lessons learned along the way- listen to hear it all now.

JournoLink: Father and daughter combo leading the PR revolution
Scott Speaks to FOUNDER& NON EXEC DIRECTOR, Peter Ibbetson. Peter Ibbetson is a banker turned entrepreneur. From being Head of Business Banking at NatWest (before it all went wrong!), he built a portfolio of directorships helping businesses grow. He then took the leap into entrepreneurship and created JournoLink, a disruptor business providing a PR platform linking businesses to journalists. Ever since the battle of David and Goliath, the small have been looking for metaphorical stones to outdo bigger rivals – much like SMEs trying to find a competitive advantage through transparency, quality customer service and the ability to foster relationships.

JournoLink would be classified as one such stone, having been created on the basis that small businesses would love to get media coverage but don’t have the know how or budget to do so.

At the same time, the concept revolves around journalists that want to find entrepreneurial business stories and spokespeople, yet struggle to find them.

But the truly clever part is that JournoLink analyses which press releases should be sent to which journalists, so that they are properly targeted at those who genuinely have an interest in them.

Ryan Carson, CEO of Treehouse, talks Mark Zuckerberg, events, training, education, partnerships, family and your listeners questions. Ryan Carson only works four days a week. In fact, all of Treehouse only works four days a week, doesn't have any managers, and yet it's still a fast-growing online coding school that brings technology education to the masses. Under Ryan's guidance as co-founder and CEO, Treehouse is a blossoming venue to learn how to build a website, code an app, and more. How does he get anything done with only a four day work week? We asked Ryan to share his origin story and so much more. Location: Portland, OR
Current Gig: CEO and Co-Founder, Treehouse.

"Im just a founder standing in front of a founder asking him to start a company with him!" Jason asks Ru to be his partner, asking himself the question how much of your company should you give up when you bring on a partner and sharing some of his watermelon rather then owning the whole grape. Found out if he says " I do! I will"?
