I founded Medrecruit back in 2006.
I was a true entrepreneur, doing everything; vision, strategy, finance, operations, logistics…
Over the years I hired many people who helped me to continue to grow it.
This worked to about $60M in revenue, then the wobbles associated with growth became more marked.
I’d reached the limits of my abilities and interest to operationalise the business for the next phase of growth. I needed a business partner, someone who loved doing what I didn’t.
Thank you Richard for being the business Yin to my Yang, the cucumber on my sandwich, the Laurel to my Hardy.
Things work until they don’t. They key is to know when to shift gears.
In arguments, we often want to be right. But being right is not the same as being wise.
One of the greatest lies we tell ourselves is that we’re falling behind. That someone else is ahead.
As a young man I associated strength with force; louder voices, sharper opinions, firm lines in the sand.
There’s a strange kind of pride we’ve developed in being exhausted. But even lions, the king of the jungle, rest.
I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have ambition.
We sometimes believe strength means self-sufficiency — that being independent means being isolated.
We often try to outrun the storm, emotionally, physically, spiritually.
We’re entering an age where machines do our thinking before we’ve even had a chance to try.
