The incredibly successful, wise and brave entrepreneur David Thomson, founder of Suada, speaks candidly about the reasons behind his drive to be "rich and hard."
This is an especially useful discussion, packed with lots of practical advice on life, learning, business and sales, which is David's main area of expertise.
We discuss David's upbringing in Scotland, spent in clubs and pubs, full of poverty and severe adversity. He had a teriibly traumatic childhood, eventually ending up at a children's home by the time he was 10 years old.
Even with such a horrific and difficult start, young David worked incredibly hard, always believing in the power of education and a positive mental attitude, despite being let down by the school system and his family.
His resilience saw him joining the army and very soon after he went on to establish himself in sales and ultimately establish many highly lucrative and successful businesses.
His current business, Suada, combines the power of technology and education to provide game changing results across many sectors, including sales, humanitarian aid and sustainability.
In this episode, he shares what success means to him, how he harnesses the power of a positive mental attitude, overcomes barriers, deals with failure, and what he has learnt by learning from the best and training a world class team.
His vision has led him to undertake huge projects and help others along the way - something which the young, troubled David could only have dreamed of.
A fascinating and deep discussion for the listener to benefit from. In his own words: The boy's come a long way.."
