Frahm: It's only a F**king Business
11/01/21 • 43 min
How does it feel to be suicidal?
One man who knows is Nick Hussey, founder of Frahm - the business behind high-quality, long-lasting jackets for the real world. Nick stared into the abyss after the collapse of his first company but, with the help of his wife and an old school friend, came back to start and succeed with a new enterprise.
True to the ethos of Founded & Grounded, and alongside the business lessons learned, Nick openly shares his own experiences to discuss mental health among entrepreneurs. In an extended episode laden with powerful advice, he talks about running a business on process rather than fear and passion, how a support network can assist this, and the importance of simplifying everything. Because nothing matters more than your health.
Presented by Andrew Parsonage, with expert analysis from Ollie Collard and reflections from Samantha Miles.

Uptime: Why time's up for mindless scrolling
If 'too much information, too little time' is the great problem of our age, this business has a 5-minute solution.
Patrick Walker is a veteran of the 'big tech' scene having held senior positions with Facebook and YouTube. But he was moved to go it alone to address the issue of sheer volume of content, and 'hack knowledge' to provide users with briefer and more positive online experiences. Thus, Uptime was born.
In an episode full of fantastic insight and advice, Patrick talks about the importance of pausing when egos might dictate otherwise; how taking time to recruit ensures you capture people "whose purpose becomes their profession"; and having the confidence to "follow your bliss". Plus, in our latest community poll, we reveal the stress-levels of our listeners!
