What we talked about.
Mike Askew's story starts on building sites and moves through Saudi Arabia, Dubai, construction, independence and the education that comes from listening carefully in rooms where you are younger and less experienced than everyone else. It is a conversation about risk, ambition, travel and learning business from the inside.
This episode explores:
- Why would a 22-year-old carpenter leave the UK for Saudi Arabia?
- What does working abroad teach you that staying comfortable at home cannot?
- How does financial ambition turn into a broader entrepreneurial education?
- What can you learn by sitting in meetings that other people might find boring?
- How do you build confidence when you are surrounded by people with far more experience?
- What is the real trade-off between chasing opportunity and building a settled life?
