41: Back to the start - origin stories

Listener, what do you reckon? Should I let Phill stay?

This episode is named after the Razorlight song Back To The Start - we’re talking origin stories.

In this first episode of a new era, my new co-host Phill Agnew joins me for storytime about how we each go to the point in our careers where we decided “Nah. Employment’s not for me.”

We cover…

how Phill started out in marketing (he’s a PROPER marketer)

why I’m unemployable at this point

a trauma dump-slash-rant about crummy leadership

how Phill built up his podcast Nudge to be the UK’s #1 Marketing podcast (depending which day you look at the charts and whether his competitors are cheating with bot engagement)

Phill has frankly unrealisticly high expectations on how much feedback he’s going to get from you. Please prove me wrong and tell us what you like (or don’t) about the new ibc duo. And whether Phill should pass his probationary period.

You can email show@indiebusinessclub.com or even better do a LinkedIn post about it so we get some sweet, sweet reach 👌
