Episode notes
Author Emerged From Doing, Not Ambition
- Priestley didn't set out to be an author; he used writing to organise his thinking while running businesses.
- Writing began as a personal tool and evolved into a widely-read platform and books.
Burnout Led To Starting Over In The UK
- Daniel launched a fast-growth events business in Australia at age 21 and burned out after doing 174 events in a year.
- He moved to the UK at 25 to start fresh and chase a different phase of entrepreneurship.
Funded Early Growth With A Big Credit Card
- Daniel launched his UK business with substantial credit-card spending power rather than external investors.
- He recalls having a large limit (~£25k-£30k) and using it to fund initial product launches and events.
