Business Without Bullsh-t

Tom Graham is this week’s guest on Business Without Bullsh-t. With a CV length stretching from London to a small Cheese shop in Paris, Tom’s career legacy really is something.He’s the Founder of several successful tech companies, was a Managing Partner at TLDR, a leading crypto advisory firm, a qualified Lawyer who lived and practiced in China speaking fluent Chinese, and was a Visiting Scholar at Harvard Law School.Tom’s wealth of knowledge and caliber of thought took the conversation to some fascinating and insightful depths covering a range of topics including the world of DeFi, the impact of Cryptocurrency and how it’s becoming Gold 2.0, why Food and Energy Security are the next spaces to be looking at for future projects and why world governments must step in and start working with social networks to regulate the dissemination of false information to protect the health of society. And that’s just this week’s dose 😉We also flip the script and go off-topic for a quick minute to hear Andy's perspective around privilege. He speaks from experience and wears his heart on his sleeve for this one!Pull up a chair and press play.Business without Bullsh-t is powered by Oury Clark.

Richard Celm, Co-Founder & Executive Program Director at Startupbootcamp, Australia joins Andy and Dominic on this week’s episode of Business Without Bullsh-t. With a multifaceted career history driven by an ingrained entrepreneurial spirit and a hunger to constantly challenge himself, Richard’s CV is a very impressive read: from selling Skateboards and investing in eatfresh.com in Australia, to managing Investment Funds and establishing the award-winning Accelerator London startup Innovation Centre in London and serving as an Army Reserve Major in command of 117 men in Afghanistan, Richard’s work has earnt him a wealth of knowledge and experience which he currently pours into Startupbootcamp Australia, the world’s largest industry-based startup accelerator program. The conversation goes deep as the three talk about the realities and intricacies of the startup world, which sectors Richard is currently excited about as well as valuable insight into what makes a strong startup team and what it really takes to be a successful entrepreneur in today’s climate. Usually, we’d stop there, however, we recently came to realise that there’s always so much of our chats with guests which we don’t end up including in the show, chat which may be less about business but nevertheless, well worth a listen. So in light of our epiphany, we thought we’d try something new by adding a brand new chapter to our show. Some might call it the outtakes, but as Andy likes to say, it’s less business, more bullsh-t! And so we kick off this new chapter with Dom's and Andy's rants about their annoyances with having to deal with banks and stockbrokers during COVID while Richard talks about Army life in Afghanistan and his thoughts on how society can recover from the war (the latter definitely not being bullsh-t, just to make that clear) Sounds interesting, right?

On the last episode of Business Without Bullsh-t, we had the pleasure of speaking to Con Konstantopoulos, a Pharmacology and Physiology graduate and Director of 4 companies who we spoke to in great lengths about a range of topics which we just couldn’t fit all into one episode.So to make sure you don’t miss out, we decided to split the conversation into 2 parts!In this episode, we take a deeper look at what makes Con tick; his passion for facilitating business in niche markets, his views on the emerging medical marijuana industry, the reality of drug testing in clinical trials and why trusting scientific research about COVID vaccinations is a better idea than relying on social media.Pull up a chair, press play and soak it in.Con's company websites:Akesa - www.akesapharma.com Syntro - www.syntrohealth.com Zenex - www.zenexpharma.com Preda - www.preda.com.au/bookkeepingBusiness without Bullsh-t is powered by Oury Clark.

Con Konstantopoulos joins Andy and Dominic on the latest episode of Business without Bullsh-t.With a studied background in Pharmacology and Physiology, Con soon realised that working in the labs wasn’t for him and transitioned into the commercial business side of the industry. Fast forward to today, Con is the Director of four (yes, FOUR) companies providing life-changing services in the Pharmaceutical industries.Con tells us about what drives his passion for his work, a lot of it coming from his love for connecting people to solve issues that exist out of the conventional box of pharmaceutical practice and improve access to information to help improve people's lives.The three also discuss the very hot (and fitting) topic of COVID, concerns around proper clinical trials, opinions on government reaction to the pandemic, the clampdown on free speech and explorational thought within Science and ultimately what keeps Con’s faith alive in the pursuit of Scientific truth amid all of the challenges. Some much-needed expert insight on topics which most of us really are none the wiser about. Want to know more?
