The Millennial Entrepreneur

In this episode, I spoke to Sabrina Stocker, a semi-finalist of BBC’s The Apprentice.

Today I spoke to Arminder Singh Dhillon, the teenage founder of Boot Buddy. If the name sounds familiar its because he was the youngest ever person in Dragon's Den history to get successful investment and not only with one dragon but with three of them. The business and Arminder have been featured across loads of TV channels obviously. So we talk about the experience of Dragon’s Den, some behind the scenes Dragon's Den secrets that I had no idea about and what life is like once he got that investment. And also how the dragons are like once the cameras are off - I’ve always wanted to ask that so its good to finally find out.We spoke about also how he went from idea to manufacturing in China on a mass scale, along with advice for anyone out there who is thinking of launching a physical product idea.Instagram: @bootbuddyWebsite: https://bootbuddy.com/products/boot-buddy---The Millennial Entrepreneur publishes a new episode EVERY WEEK, showcasing the most inspirational young hustlers and analysing their journeys.Be sure to share and subscribe.
