Show Notes
He was 15 years old when his father died.
Weeks later: homeless, no money and no system to catch him.
School had promised him a job. There were none.
So he did the only thing left: he started something.
Today, Simon Squibb is worth hundreds of millions, built 20 businesses and invested in 80+ companies.
He's now on a mission to fix the education system and let people dream.
In this episode, Freddie sits down with Simon to talk about the mindset behind the movement - why he thinks the school system is training you for a factory, what 700,000 graduates need to hear right now and why success means owning your time (not your bank balance).
Oh, and why he once bought a staircase at auction.
This one will make you uncomfortable in the best way.
