    Our guest this week is Tim Steiner, CEO of household-name grocery delivery business Ocado. Tim got his start as a bond trader at Goldman Sachs, before leaving to set up Ocado with two of his colleagues in 2000.

In the episode, we discuss Tim’s decision-making process and how he weighed up the risk of leaving a stable corporate job to run his own business. Tim also shares how he dealt with early criticism to make Ocado what it is today and offers some useful guidance on how to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

    #7 - Annabel Croft

    Our guest this week is Annabel Croft, former professional tennis player and Wimbledon Girls champion. Annabel was on track for an incredibly successful career on the circuit until she decided to step away from the game at just 21 years of age. She has since made her name as a broadcaster, hosting live tennis events as well as a number of prime time TV shows. We discuss Annabel’s rise and fall in the game, with her loss of love for tennis resulting from an inability to cope with the emotional toll of losing consistently. Regarding her decision to step away, Annabel has no regrets. Instead, she uses her experience to encourage our students to follow what makes them happy, just as she did.
