Incrementum

Will Norris joins the show for this episode of Incrementum. Will is the Co-founder of a small events company in Bath, UK. He is also chairman of bath entrepreneurs, a society that was set up to inspire and enable entrepreneurship. I see Will as a facilitator. Without Will and the efforts of him and the Bath Entrepreneurs team, many budding entrepreneurs would not have had the opportunity to hear insights from some of the leading entrepreneurs in this day and age. They have also set up networking events to accelerate people's personal development and to reinforce the importance of building relationships and connections and they run an event known as the launchpad. The Launchpad is an event for creators and entrepreneurs. Small teams are made and the teams are given 24 hours to create a Minimum Viable Product for their idea. Will is extremely passionate about entrepreneurship and his work-ethic is second to none. Watch this space!

In this episode of Incrementum, I interview Parker Heuser from the content creation group High On Life. High On Life are a group of friends that have created a career for themselves by harnessing the power of social media and media outlets. They travel and create engaging content for a living that evokes an emotion in their audience. High On Life was created to spread the message of how grateful we should feel for our lives and that we should get out and experience all the world has to offer. Parker is an advocate for seeking discomfort and throwing yourself into new scenarios to learn from these unknown endeavours. The group believe that no road is too difficult to tread, they live by the mantra "If you can, you should" and want to share this way of living with as many people as they can. We could all learn a thing or two from Parker about pursuing your true passion and not settling for the traditional path as this is what society has commanded of us.

In this episode of Incrementum, I speak to Ollie Forsyth. Ollie is a serial entrepreneur who founded his first company in his early teenage years.

The Budding Entrepreneurs Club is an application or invitation only community for the most ambitious, entrepreneurial individuals in the UK. Ollie has been recognised for his various pursuits as he has been featured in Forbes, Fortune Magazine, The Huffington Post and more. He also received a prestigious award from The Times Magazine, where he was named the 3rd most influential teenager in the UK. If you are a budding entrepreneur, this is the podcast you need to listen to! Ollie's work-ethic will inspire and motivate you.

Charlie is an award-winning Industrial Designer who specialises in the outdoor industry.

Since then he has taken part in and lead expeditions in a broad range of conditions and countries: including Malawi, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Ethiopia, Austria, Iceland, France, and the UK. Most recently he was team leader of the Coldest Crossing expedition, and a producer for the upcoming series: ‘The Coldest Crossing’.

Charlie and I discuss how important it is to tell a story with your work and the people around you, your team, are vital to succeed in any walk of life.

Henry Nathan - an exceptional photographer and cinematographer, founded the Instagram page @canon_photos which now has over 2 million followers.

Henry and XPO Creatives now travel the world to produce content and have worked with some amazing clients such as Singapore Airlines, The Savoy London, Virgin Atlantic and more. Henry and the Team are also focusing on building up another aspect of their brand, CP Collectives. This episode is a must listen for anyone interested in social media, content and business.

In the 5th episode of Incrementum, I interview Jorden Tually. Jorden is a graphic designer by trade but after graduating he fell in love with travelling. Not just any travel but budget backpacking. He is on a mission to find out how he can maximise his time travelling whilst limiting the money he spends. Having spent only $15,000 and travelled for 3-years, Jorden certainly has a lot of tips. We also discuss how Jorden has used social media to create a personal brand and how it has benefited him in life. A personal brand centred around a Go pro and an orange hat sounds weird.....but it just works

For the 4th episode of the Incrementum podcast, I interview Daniel Wyb. Daniel is the Co-founder of Pepper Filters. Pepper Filters is a Snapchat Geofilter making service. Daniel and the Pepper Filters Team recently hit the target of having 150 million people see their filters and they signed a deal with "The Knot" one of the largest wedding planning services in America. Daniel does not have all his eggs in one basket, however. He partakes in Hackathon events where the goal is to build a product in 3/4 days or less and he is currently pursuing a new venture in the technology industry. Daniel quickly became my mentor after meeting him in San Francisco, educating me on Cryptocurrencies and the world of start ups, I wish him the best of luck in the future.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Incrementum Podcast. Incrementum is a Latin word which roughly translates to "growth" in English. The scope of the podcast is to interview inspirational individuals that have succeeded in various fields (sport, business, social media) and find out what drives their success. In this episode, we interview Rob Stevenson. A Durham University graduate and professional rugby player. We find out what keeps him motivated, what he means by "Trusting The Process" and his aspirations for the future.

In today's episode, I interview Matthew Voska. I met Matt during my time in San Francisco and quite quickly recognised this man would have a profound affect on my life. Matt has owned his own company Flytenow, is a private pilot, was accepted into the most renowned start up accelerator in the world and was invited onto Shark Tank, the American version of Dragon's Den. Tune in to find out the qualities Matt believes makes a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and how he stays productive, focused and driven.

Today we interview Joe Carolan, Co-founder of Arcaz Clothing Co. Arcaz Clothing is a new up and coming streetwear brand founded at the latter stages of 2017. I asked Joe to come on the show to talk through the various hurdles that he has experienced that go in conjunction with starting a new company. I also wanted to know as a university student and keen rugby player, how he manages to develop his business whilst spreading his time amongst these other activities. I hope you see value in the insights Joe gives you into starting up a new company and the vision with Incrementum is to revisit Arcaz in a few months or even as far as a year down the line and see what progress has been made and what learning has been involved in this whole process. Incrementum is all about growth and development and so I think it will be extremely valuable to see how Joe has grown as a Co-founder and how the company has developed.
