Our latest chat with record-holding runner and entrepreneur Nick Butter, talking risk, recruitment and 'business therapy', in our Adventure Start-Up Series of podcasts. Nearly a year in to his start-up adventure travel business, Run Weekends, Nick Butter fills us in on how it’s going as the summer season hits full swing. (Short answer: ‘really well, but it’s far more intense than he expected!’) Describing our chats for the pod as ‘business therapy’, Nick takes some time to step back and reflect. Some of the key points we cover include: - Choosing your marketing spend: online vs IRL - When to take the risk of hiring your first employee - What skills your business needs to grow - Should you get a business partner? If you’re thinking of starting an adventure business (or any kind of business really!), or you’re on your own start-up journey, then take a listen, and you may want to check out episode 1 and episode 2 as well. https://lnkd.in/e5_QvChk
