SEASON 2 Ep. 20 - James Ashford on Richard Branson, Necker Island, Gary Vee & an 8 Figure Business Exit
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Alchemy Hub, I sit down with entrepreneur and investor James Ashford, whose incredible business journey includes building and selling a SaaS company from zero investment to a life-changing 8-figure exit.
But behind the headline numbers was a complex and solitary path.
James opens up about growing up in a volatile home where he learned self-reliance early and how his career has been anything BUT conventional.
Driven by a desire to "Scale Fast, Exit Big," he bet heavily on his own development- once paying £4,000 for a 15-minute call with Gary Vee and dropping £30,000 to visit Necker Island. But he also reveals the void that came after the sale of his business and his struggle to find purpose
James now helps founders scale, systemise, and turn their businesses into valuable, acquirable assets. You don't want to miss this episode!
