Talking Business with James Connelly | Episode 12

In this episode we’re talking business with James Connelly James is the founder of Fetch, a company he started back in 2009 when he was just 23, and in 2014 the company was acquired by Dentsu Aegis for a reported $48m. Fast forward to today, and 10 days ago James announced that he was stepping down from the company and in his own words ‘having a gap year’ In this episode James talks about: - why he decided to step down - how it feels not having a job anymore - how it felt running a big company in his 20’s - how he balanced his ‘polished’ image vs. being his real self at work - what it feels like to make a lot of money (‘James are you a millionaire?’) - how he’s trying to be more open and honest online for the first time and what that feels like — James has been a big inspiration for me as a young entrepreneur and I absolutely loved talking to him about business and life in this episode - I hope you enjoy too :) Ps.
