Olly Richards comes on the show.

He spent the first 7 years of his “career” as a jazz musician. Then spent the next 7 years as an English teacher, traveling the world. After that, he spent 7 years building a $10M online education business.

🎙 ABOUT THE PODCAST

I launched The Healthy Entrepreneur Podcast to uncover bold ideas, overlooked lessons and behind the scenes stories from the people shaping the way we live, work and think.

When I finished university and got a job as head of product at the world's largest digital publisher (500m+ monthly visitors) I thought I would be unstoppable, but I quickly realised I was the same as everyone else. It took a near death car crash with my fiance in 2022 to shock me into perceiving life differently.

I quit my job, sold my house and moved 4,000 miles around the world to start a business and a podcast, something I had always wanted to do.

Today, this podcast sits in the top 1% globally and we've had more than $3bn in guest appearances.

Life is short and difficult, but this podcast should make it a little bit easier.
