After a tumultuous few years, Britain is searching for new meaning on the world stage. Where it once held clout through its central role in the EU, it is now more ‘independent’ – and more isolated. The years since the Brexit referendum have been dominated by factionalism and political infighting. No clear vision for Britain has yet emerged, but irrespective of your political leanings, all must agree that Britain has no choice but to carve out its own niche.

My journey to running a business and becoming a CEO was accidental. At 20, I was forced to stop chasing the rugby dream due to a few serious injuries - I had to quickly carve a new path where I could channel my ambition and work ethic. This took me first into recruitment, then to various businesses including eBay where I worked alongside pioneers in the rise of eCommerce. Not long after, I found myself in the high-octane throes of a VC-backed Silicon Valley startup and ultimately founded Detected in the middle of 2020.

The oft-quoted argument that ‘it is only by recruiting the biggest companies before they have truly improved their practices and help them along the path that we will create change’ has been wielded for years by those trying to justify why they are accepting money from dubious sources, and has yet to be proven. As a 26-year veteran of the aid and development sector, I can attest that, for the most part, all you become is complicit in a marketing operation, not a leader in a movement advocating for social and environmental change.

We all know that people buy from people, so if you want to win customers you need to put yourself out there. But what if the very thought of stepping into the limelight causes a crash of confidence? Or even fills you with dread? Well, firstly, you’re not alone! And secondly, it IS possible to feel better about it – and even enjoy it. Promise.

There was once a man who worked in the corporate world. Although he was very successful, he was fed up with his job. He hated the company culture, the long hours and the long daily commute So, one day he decided to become an entrepreneur and set up his own business. After a couple of years of consistent hard work, his business began to succeed. However, his personal life did not. His marriage began to fail, and he got divorce. This ruined him financially and so he had to start his business over again.
