Five Of the Best - Founders

It takes courage, vision and incredible tenacity to overcome the naysayers and inevitable obstacles. In this special 'Founders' compilation episode I talk to Andrew Penfold, David Handley, Zara Siedler, Ronni Kahn and William Sieghart - five remarkable people who have each successfully founded projects that have made a lasting and meaningful contribution to the world - Nigel
