About Richard Osborne

I grew up with a rocky start in life experiencing in debt, eviction, two broken homes, violence, alcohol and some shady experiences through my teenage years.

I started his first business in the late 1990's in the middle of a family crisis before selling it in a business deal gone wrong and I lost it all. After that I grew and sold a handful of businesses through three nervous breakdowns and depression in one hell of a rollercoaster ride.

This podcast takes you on a journey with me as I speak to Entrepreneurs who put themselves through highs and lows of running a business. People you may walk past in the street with no idea they're struggling to pay the wages, just lost a major client, or struggling to even pay themselves.
