Are founders just wired differently? with Barney Hussey-Yeo founder of Cleo



In this episode, we speak with Barney Hussey-Yeo, founder of the AI personal assistant app Cleo, about what it takes to turn a startup idea at the age of 24 into a multi-million-pound company. If you have the right amount of passion, ambition, and “radical self-belief,” you may have what it takes to hit the ground running and succeed.

Season 1 of the Anatomy of a Founder podcast is all about foundations – the unpolished, often messy beginnings of building something from nothing.

Is there ever a right time to start? Is there such a thing as being too early or too late? How do you know when you’re ready? These are some of the themes we explore throughout the next four in-depth episodes of the Anatomy of a Founder podcast, brought to you every two weeks.

Special guests include:

Barney Hussey-Yeo, founder of Cleo

Maggie McDaris, co-founder of Phase

Avion Gray, co-founder of Belong

Asti Wagner, founder of Invyted
