A 9-year-old selling horse chestnuts for cash doesn’t exactly scream “future entrepreneur”… but Scott Russell was never following the usual script.

In this episode, we get into the real journey. He left school at 16 and learned what classrooms don’t teach, how to sell, how to hustle, and how to handle real money. Turns out, earning early can teach you more than perfect grades ever will.

Then comes the twist. A “too good to be true” telecoms job drops him in with just a clipboard and confidence. Instead of backing out, Scott doubles down. He shares how he built credibility from a tiny Mayfair office, landed solid deals, and created businesses with predictable, scalable revenue, the kind buyers actually want.

If you’re into smart growth, exits, or purpose-driven business, this one’s for you.
