Description

In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Cockerton, Co-Founder of the Digital Accountancy Show, to explore his journey from a media and fintech background to building one of the UK’s fastest-growing niche events for the accountancy sector.

We discuss how Daniel and his business partner James Howell identified a market gap, grew the show from 600 attendees to over 5,000, and recently sold the business to global events giant Easyfairs.

Daniel opens up about his entrepreneurial mindset, the power of partnerships, the challenges of launching during COVID, the emotional rollercoaster of scaling a business, and his personal resilience following open-heart surgery.

This episode is packed with insights on entrepreneurship, community-building, scaling, and staying mission-driven.
