Loved this, we need more reminders that even people who build hugely successful businesses struggle with growth at all costs. I wonder if Charles would do it all again or, if he had the chance, would keep his team small
I'm glad that it happened because it helped us speed run to a more valuable and secure standing in the market - and I learnt a lot along the way. But if I was to do it again from scratch in 2025, I don't actually think it would be possible. The market, prices, economics, platforms and methods are all totally different in such a short space of time. But I would certainly keep things as small as possible.
