Four words that Simon Squibb has asked over 10,000 strangers on street corners, outside food banks, in airports all around the world. Most people freeze. That moment of blankness is exactly the problem he has spent the last decade trying to fix. Simon dropped out of school at 15 when his father died and his mother kicked him out. Then came eight weeks sleeping in stairwells and on the streets, which lit in him a relentless drive to build and create. So he knocked on a stranger's door, announced he was starting a gardening company, and charged £200 a month for a garden he didn't know how to tend. That business lasted eight months before the English winter killed it. After that, Simon builds, shuts down and resells several businesses, leading up to Fluid, a creative agency he grows for twenty years out of Hong Kong before handing it over to PwC. Then he retires, and despite having everything, he nearly loses himself. In 2019, he starts approaching strangers in the street to ask them about their dream. Today Simon has 15 million followers across platforms and he is the number one result on TikTok when you search "angel investor." He has given away over £426,000 to help people start businesses. His two-hour YouTube video on building a brand has been watched 17 million times. For Simon, the education system became obsolete the day Google was born, so he isn't trying to change it, he's building an alternative. In this conversation, Simon shares: - Why TikTok made marketing degrees worthless - How to wake up your entrepreneur's brain - Why he gave up on politics to try to change the education system - How to find your dream when you're too busy surviving to think about it - Why your purpose in life comes from your pain An episode for anyone who's ever frozen when someone asked what they really wanted. ▶️ Find everything we talked about on the episode's show notes : https://www.gdiy.fr/podcast/simon-squibb-vo/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merci à Qonto de soutenir GDIY depuis tant d'années.
