Steph Essex and I had an absolute rollercoaster and so many lessons learnt. We created Viper 10 Sportswear in 2012 and sold in 2018. It brought up so many emotions about a big part of my life that I haven’t talked about before.Co-founder Stephanie Essex and I chat about everything from the idea, to launch with Lewis Moody MBE as an ambassador, growth and the eventual sale of a brand that made big waves in a highly competitive market. Steph is one of the most talented and driven individuals I know, and reliving this journey with her was yet another amazing opportunity that this podcast has afforded me. Website: DodgeWoodall.comTikTok: @DodgeWoodallYouTube: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

Since buying Boardmasters Festival for just £1 to now attracting 50,000 people each year.It hasn’t been smooth sailing over the past few years though: adverse weather conditions forced cancellation of Boardmasters in 2019, and the global pandemic put an end to all 2020 plans.Andrew is no quitter though, and like all successful entrepreneurs he has pivoted, planned and stayed positive during a tough patch.We chatted openly about the highs, lows and pressures of the industry, and I loved sharing some thoughts with someone who is clearly passionate about festivals and events.Website: DodgeWoodall.comTikTok: @DodgeWoodallYouTube: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

Toughest decision I've ever had to make and probably the most significant part of my business journey but also one of the most challenging, but also rewarding periods of my life.We chat about everything from toilets to celebs, but also the key people that helped make that first festival happen, a potential court case with a global media corporation, and yes... we talk more about my pet monkey.Website: DodgeWoodall.comTikTok: @DodgeWoodallYouTube: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

This is one of my favourite chats. Barry who is CEO of Matchroom sport talks about building a £1B sports empire from nothing. His simple approach to business, his very personal tattoos and about the time he lost a fight to his son Eddie.It was lovely to talk about the rise of Anthony Joshua and his commercial deals outside of the ring.Website: DodgeWoodall.comTikTok: @DodgeWoodallYouTube: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

Dodge is a born entrepreneur growing up in London pubs made me streetwise at a very young age. My journey started aged 10 in nightclubs which looking back I guess inspired me to then create 1,500 parties in clubs in all major cities in my my 20's.In my 30's I then created Bournemouth 7s Festival which become the Worlds Largest Sport & Music Festival of its kind and renowned to be the 'Sporting Glastonbury'.Creating this podcast has been a real eye opening and humbling experience, it’s also been my first opportunity to reflect on my own life and the journey I’ve been on!Website: DodgeWoodall.comTikTok: @DodgeWoodallYouTube: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.
