This episode is a fascinating insight into Peter's 28 year career so far, team bonding in a Californian Supermax prison, successes, failures, and forming his new brand, Synctera, during the chaos of 2020.
If you're a FinTech entrepreneur, to be honest you should have pressed play already, but this episode isn't just for you. Peter talks us through 28 years of business and entrepreneurship that will resonate with any commercial enterprise on earth.
We hear about raising capital and managing investors, go to market strategy at Uber, using loss leading products to your advantage, the future of work & the importance of serendipity, recovery & the opportunities that it holds, and all round inspiring words from a guy who's done a thing or two.
A 2020 entrepreneurship story at its finest, with a few extra decades of history thrown in for good measure.
