In this episode, Sophie discusses how to do business differently with Laurence McCahill. Laurence is co-founder of the Happy Start Up with Dr Carlos Saba and in this podcast, he discusses the three values of his company; friendship, learning and play and how we should not see other businesses as competitors but as potential collaborators and ‘play’ together. Laurence discusses the traditional view of business, the media’s view of business and entrepreneurship and how damaging this is for potential entrepreneurs and businesses.

Sophie and Laurence also discuss how the endless growth model of business is unsustainable and how Laurence is trying to encourage others to change by some interesting events such as ‘The Week of Nothing’ which Sophie attended.

Finally, Sophie and Laurence get to the topic of rituals in business and how Laurence uses these inherently spiritual practices in his camps to ground people within a shared space and have a lasting and leading effect of the individuals who take part.

Sometimes Sophie & our guests get super passionate about their topic and therefore, some “passionate” language might crop up! You might want to wear headphones or make sure young ears aren’t around, and if this is not your cuppa tea, this might not be the podcast for you.
