Show Notes
Have you ever let self-doubt hold you back?
In this episode, stand-up comedian Russell Kane reveals the secret to building confidence.
Russell has followed a very non-linear career path, and tried his hand at everything from copywriting to stand-up comedy, and creative strategy to book writing. He is now the co-founder of a supplements business, and is trying his hand at acting on stage.
Tim and Russell discuss:
His journey to success: working his way from a council estate to a celebrity lifestyle
Why he likes ideas that don’t make sense
How businesses like Red Bull think differently
Russell’s ‘river jumping’ technique to come up with new ideas
The negative impacts of playing status games
His ADHD diagnosis
Why he and his wife launched a supplement business
If you’re looking for new, alternative routes to success, this episode offers real stories, ideas and examples to inspire your next move.
