Samantha Wood is our guest for Episode 6. Sam is a Wealth Manager. She started her new company Wood Mitchell in 2022, to help people plan for wealth and protection when things go wrong.
Sam has been on an incredible journey to get to this point. From a challenging upbringing, to life in the Army, first as a soldier and later becoming an Army Officer. To recovering from a near death accident on her bike training for a triathlon when she came off at high speed causing multiple injuries and a spell in hospital. We talk about all these challenges she has been through. The key points to the discussion are all around grit, resilience and determination. A must listen to episode.
The Business Success Stories Podcast show is produced and presented by John Evans.
John Evans was born in Liverpool, England. At 19 he left to live and work in London. In 1989 he moved out of the automotive sector to work in vehicle and asset finance at a growing lease company. That company, Leaseplan, is now one of the largest leasing organisations in the world. Over the next 30 years in corporate life John worked at GE Capital leading a UK sales team, then at HSBC leading an international network of partner banks for leasing and asset finance growth. He left to start and run his own company in 2007 and shut it down in 2012 due to never recovering from the world financial crash. He understands the challenges of a start up business first hand! After moving back into corporate life, this time is the software and SAAS sector, he eventually left once more, this time to buy an established business. In 2020 he purchased a pharmacy business using OPM as a LBO. This business is something he works on, not it. He and his business partner are in the process of acquiring several businesses and have also invested in a $1b roll-up to floatation opportunity in the US. In his spare time he writes songs. He is collaborating with two music composers at present and writing a musical show based on a true crime story of a bank fraud!
