#34 - Fixing the UK's Ambition Crisis - Drinking Culture, Politics, Investing and Business with David Belle

Show Notes

The UK used to be a place where opportunity could thrive, but something feels a bit different recently.

In this weeks episode, I’m joined by David Belle, the founder of Fink.Money.

In this conversation we discuss a wide range of topics, including social issues within the UK, housing inequality, the real issue with politicians and whether moving abroad is the solution.

We also cover the dangers of building a business with external capital, how Fink can improve your chances of being hired by an investment bank, how David successfully built multiple social media channels, and the benefits of lifestyle changes such as quitting alcohol for productivity.

Finally David provides his solutions to bring ambition back to the UK!
