“This was all rubbish of course” is the most telling quote from this article (by Tom Knowles).
Once an entrepreneur begins to actually believe their own propaganda, alarm bells should be ringing for potential investors.

You can’t make a career out of failure. But failure does make you stronger-so long as you learn from it.
While New Covent Garden Soup Company was a success, my next venture – soup in a carton for the US market - was a failure. lnkd.in/dJvByVZ

When we launched New Covent Garden Soup Co we had a tiger by the tail. We were chasing to keep up with demand. Things were a bit different in the States.
@simonsquibb asked me about the #lessons I learned from my failed effort bringing fresh soup to the US.

“Normal is stranger than fiction” Alan O'Neill outlines some excellent advice here for the retail world. The point is, no matter what industry we are in, we need to act smart. Cos normal really is stranger than fiction.

This is an excellent case study: bit.ly/3u1fnKG Simon Rogerson makes the point well - when building trust and a healthy culture, it’s all about communication.

Entrepreneurs pivoted to beat the effects of lockdown. Now we need to pivot to beat the effects of complacency. We’re not moving back to “the way it was”. We’re moving forward to a new hybrid – to a way it’s going to be. Are you pivoting ready for where they need you to be?

#Entrepreneurs experience adversity all the time. It's what often defines us. If we're busy crashing through walls and uprooting trees, guess what, we'll experience resistance. My belief is we should embrace #adversity. It tells us we're doing something worthwhile.

I’m lucky enough to work with a range of highly capable female entrepreneurs - both at @MissionVentures and directly. @DiversityQ asked me about this and here’s my take on it: lnkd.in/db_BvnP #DiversityandInclusion

I'm delighted the @UlsterBizSchool has asked me to become Visiting Professor to the Food Innovation & Consumer Science programme. We’ve already got lots of plans in place so 2021 is going to be pretty busy!

Andy Coyne’s article in @JustFoodMag_ captures some of my thoughts. It’s an interesting one – some really understandable motivations driving this deal. But also can’t help wondering if there will be challenges. Not much different to many deals I suspect! just-food.com/analysis/has-m…

"What a white knuckle ride!" is what the amazing @johnstapleton00 had to say about my book RULE BREAKER. If you don't know John, you likely know his soup as Founder of the New Covent Garden Soup Co & Little Dish. He's obviously got very good taste #rulebreakerbook @KPBusinessMgmt

This guy has over 100,000 employees but he still says stuff like “…you have to be accessible, you just have to be normal”. How does he manage that? Well Steve Jones interviewed him for @MT_editorial and I find it interesting reading….lnkd.in/e_UpKDD

Here’s Part II of my “Connected Leadership” podcast with @AndyLopata. We got chatting about the early #entrepreneurial team at New Covent Garden Soup Co and the people who probably had the greatest impact on my career. lnkd.in/ddsw-sJ
