from The Room Where It Happened

How does a £20,000 family loan turn into a £300 million global brand? For Tom Beahon, it all began with his parents remortgaging their home to support him and his brother’s dream of creating Castore. That early sacrifice sparked a relentless drive to succeed and made failure not an option.Tom Beahon takes us through the early hustle, from hiding in train toilets to avoid paying fares, to camping in magazine office lobbies to get meetings. He talks about the struggles of paying himself and his brother just £1,000 a month for three years while building the business and how their £2 million partnership with Andy Murray gave Castore the credibility and authority to secure international partnerships with Premier League teams and Formula One.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal 👉 https://nordvpn.com/rwih Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guaranteeIFS - award-winning Asset & Service Management software 👉 Reimagine your operations at: https://highpfrmc.com/ifs-au Hosted on Acast.
