Screw It Just DO It with Alex Chisnall The Untold Startup Secrets of Steven Bartlett
What makes someone drop out of university after just one lecture, with no funding or formal plan, and go on to build a multi-million-pound marketing agency? That’s the question I posed to Steven Bartlett - founder of Social Chain and one of the UK’s most inspiring modern entrepreneurs. In this bite-sized episode of Screw It Just Do It, Steven breaks down the mindset shift that helped him scale a Twitter page into a global agency working with Apple, McDonald’s, and the BBC. It’s raw, it’s real, and it proves that sometimes your biggest leap comes when you stop planning and just start.
Key Takeaways:
- Why Steven dropped out of university after one lecture
- How spotting real problems creates real businesses
- Building a startup from a social media account
- Why personal branding and sales skills matter early on
- The power of resilience and thinking differently
