The F Word : A Whyfield Podcast
Welcome to The F Word: A Whyfield Podcast
We’re switching up the Whyfield ‘W’ to something fresh… because Why the ‘F’ not?
If you weren’t already aware, Whyfield is an accountants, but fear not, you’re not about to embark on a journey all about numbers!
Join us each week as host Laura Whyte – a business mogul in her own right – chats to an amazing roster of guests about their business journey, lessons learned along the way, and tips for success.
Did you know that the south west has around 45,000 registered businesses on Companies House, and that’s just the Limited Companies, so that’s not even counting the Sole Traders and Partnerships outside of that. Cornwall is a hub for business, so we want to share some of that creative and innovative business juice with you, by inviting some amazing minds to hopefully inspire and empower you on your own business journey.
The F Word : A Whyfield Podcast
22 - Founder, Failure, Future: leading with resilience and cultivating Fearlessness
In this episode, we got to dig into Cornwall with John Brown, CEO of Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, and founder of Build The Fearless.
John is a contagiously passionate advocate for Cornish business. In John’s words, we want and need to do more shouting about Cornwall… and do it draped in a St Piran’s flag!
John shares his journey, from his early days with a short stint in journalism, to diving into the world of PR and Comms in agency, working internationally, and then Founding Don’t Cry Wolf, a B Corp agency, doing all the right things in people and practice, rewriting the rules and pushing boundaries. And then, the hard realities of business closure and the topic of ‘Failure’.
We discuss John’s work at the Cornwall Chamber, where he’s unapologetically Focused on making Cornwall a powerhouse of industry, sustainability, and social innovation. From championing the talent and determination of Cornish businesses, to addressing issues like housing and healthcare, John unpacks why Cornwall is an investable, thriving hub of opportunity. “If you’re not looking at Cornwall, you’re losing out”.
“You are going to get a return on investment because of the innovation, the talent, and the stubbornness of the Cornish people. It’s an investable proposition.”
There is so much more to share from this episode, but we’ll leave it to the man himself.
We absolutely loved chatting with John, and we know you’ll love listening.
Enjoy episode 22 of The F Word.
P.s there is a real F word in this ep, just in case you’re listening near little ears.
