Business Without Bullsh-t

A Four Day Week Beats Five Days for Productivity: Wanna fight about it?

EP 370 - Parties beat networking events. The best people for your business probably won’t have been to university. Controlled aggression is a good thing.  You want opinions, our guest this week Adam Pope has got 'em. Unlike most people peddling BS business advice on LinkedIn, he has the business and life experience to back them up. 

From being homeless (and trying to finish school whilst living in a tent) to being the CEO of Spencer Churchill, a law firm that’s looking to be the opposite of what you’d expect, Adam is a man who lives life on his own terms and is creating a company with that mindset.

We talk to Adam about radically re-inventing cultural expectations around how a law firm, or any business, should behave.  He also talks about his belief that “suffering sharpens the tools”.

Which is probably why he entered his first Ironman Triathlon before he actually knew how to swim.
