Why I’m starting a podcast

This episode is very much the beginning of my journey, and a personal insight into why I wanted to start this podcast. When I first launched Myprotein, I had so many questions and although it eventually proved a huge success, I made plenty of mistakes along the way. I want to share those mistakes and my learnings with you. Whether you are an established CEO or a budding entrepreneur, building a business is an ongoing learning curve and I hope this podcast helps you along your journey. If you’re interested in submitting a question for me to answer in a future episode, please fill out the form at OliverCookson.com or tweet me @OliverCookson.
