Andrew also talks about how since COVID-19, businesses seem to have split into 3 types - Innovation, Hibernation & Liquidation & how even when things go wrong, you should go back to your original plans for when you were on a growth trajectory & double-down on your efforts & intensity to onboard more customers because the business opportunities are still there.In addition to being Host of the SuperConnector Show podcast, Paul Lancaster is Founder, Event Producer and Host of the popular, monthly PLATFORM events and 5-day UK Startup and Scaleup Week festivals.
