Inventing search engines before Google: Innovating ahead of the curve with Cooler King E-Bikes founder

Paul Myers, the innovative entrepreneur behind Cooler King Electric Bicycles, shares  his incredible journey through entrepreneurship so far. 

A man with a remarkable knack for spotting gaps in the market, Paul came up with Europe's first internet search engine pre-Google, ran the first music download service ahead of Spotify, and worked with Universal Pictures on the very first movie downloads. 

A self-confessed busies addict, we delve into his fascinating catalogue of endeavours, and talk through his pivot from the tech world to product based business owner. 

Join me as I pick his brain to discover how he spots consumer trends ahead of the curve, and get his top tips for spotting new business concepts before others do.  From pioneering an early music subscription service to launching a successful London Tube map app are nothing short of a masterclass in seizing opportunities and understanding market shifts. 

We also discuss what it takes to build a cult product based brand and take it global, from the joy of creating a community of avid riders to facing the gritty realities of shipping and distribution, his experiences illustrate what it truly takes to steer a business to success.
