Josh Williams didn't get the stockbroking job. He stacked shelves at Asda instead. Today, he runs Bizpedia — a premium business networking community with 165 members across 11 towns and cities, targeting the £500k to £1 billion entrepreneur. That's not a bad pivot.

In this episode, Josh sits down with Coach Simon in Poundbury and gets into far more than networking strategy. We cover the mindset shift that genuinely changed the course of his life, why 67% of people are unhappy at work and what that tells us about business culture, and the Disney analogy that explains exactly how Bizpedia plans to scale from 11 groups to 44 across the spine of England.

Josh talks about business as a sport, gratitude as a daily practice — not a poster on the wall — and why clarity of goals is the thing he'd go back and fix if he could do it all again.

We also get into IKIGAI, grow-scale-exit, the trap of working in your business rather than on it, and what Josh would tell George around the corner who's just about to start his first business.

This one's more psychological than you'd expect from a networking founder. That's what makes it worth your time.
