Today I jumped out of bed with a spring in my step because I knew I had a great day ahead recording amazing podcasts with superb guests. Today’s guest is a real legend in the beer and retail space already… a superb scotsman who also has his fingers in a few pies that could be billion dollar ideas. I’m talking about James Brown… or JB as he’s known to a lot of people… from Brewdog and also the co-founder of TipJar. Obviously you will already know a lot of Brewdog… the beer, the pubs, the legendary branding, the attitude, the owners, the team, the cult status of their followers and investors, and also the amazing bar group it’s become. What you might not know much about TipJar - where you can tip people through your phone when you’re out and about eating and drinking. Talking to JB is always inspiring, he’s got a great view on how things might change when we’re out of the other end of this world wide pandemic, but also how you can build great teams, culture and brands when you’re running at 1000mph every single day.
