Social Chain - The unusual business of social media

At age 21, Steven Bartlett dropped out of university, packed his bags and set off around the world to create Social Chain, a social media marketing and ecommerce company worth an estimated $450 million. From there, Steven has gone on to become a Sunday Times best seller, a successful podcaster, and has even been inducted into Manchester City’s Hall of Fame. Steven joins Claudia to chat about leading the way in one of the world’s fastest moving sectors, knowing when to quit and becoming the youngest ever member of Dragons Den. We also hear about Steven’s new company Catena Capital and the importance of embracing insecurity. Business Unusual is made in association with Vodafone Business’ V-Hub platform.
