My Favourite Failure: Debt collectors at the door after over-extending too fast - Alex Chisnall

 

Sometimes we put on a brave face when it's the opposite of what we should be doing.

Alex Chisnall is the Founder of a Podpreneur, a podcast agency, and the host of the Screw It Just Do it podcast. He’s built a great business and loves what he does, but his first foray into entrepreneurship was a disaster.

After a debt collector knocked on his door, blocked his car and refused to leave, it resulted in him having to come clean to his wife about the extent of his business’s problems. It was the worst place Alex has ever been.

In this episode we learn how it got to that point, his regrets, and the business lessons he took from it, so you don’t make the same mistakes.
