Ep. 249 Planet Positive Series with Max Beaumont

Born in Bahrain and raised in Austria, Max is the embodiment of a global citizen. After returning to his homeland, the UK, to live for the first time, he went on to earn a Physics masters from Warwick University. A budding astronaut until then, he turned his attention to entrepreneurship after reading an autobiography by Richard Branson. Between missing lectures and drinking far more than was good for him, he became a founding member of the Warwick Entrepreneur’s Society. After graduating, and a meek attempt to start a fitness food brand, he scraped together the funds to travel the world with a friend, visiting 14 countries in five months and sometimes surviving on less than 5 dollars a day. On his return, the European Space Agency offered him a job as a System Engineer in the Netherlands. His old passion for space exploration re-kindled, he took the job and founded Skytree two years later. Physicist at heart, Max loves to scuba-dive, box, write, play tennis, think up new business ideas and pet dogs. His innate desire to help people and improve society’s state remains the core driver of everything he does. Thankfully he’s supported by people for more capable than him, allowing him to be his best self. Join the weekly Planet Positive Ventures calls: https://planetpositive.ventures/weekly
