EP 28 - Richard Celm: “more than being passionate about solving a problem, you need to be obsessed with it”

Richard Celm, Co-Founder & Executive Program Director at
Startupbootcamp, Australia joins Andy and Dominic on this week’s
episode of Business Without Bullsh-t.





With a multifaceted career history driven by an ingrained
entrepreneurial spirit and a hunger to constantly challenge
himself, Richard’s CV is a very impressive read: from selling
Skateboards and investing in eatfresh.com in
Australia, to managing Investment Funds and
establishing the award-winning Accelerator London startup
Innovation Centre in London and serving as an Army Reserve Major
in command of 117 men in Afghanistan, Richard’s work has earnt
him a wealth of knowledge and experience which he currently pours
into Startupbootcamp Australia, the world’s largest
industry-based startup accelerator program.





The conversation goes deep as the three talk about the realities
and intricacies of the startup world, which sectors Richard is
currently excited about as well as valuable insight into what
makes a strong startup team and what it really takes to be a
successful entrepreneur in today’s climate.





Usually, we’d stop there, however, we recently came to realise
that there’s always so much of our chats with guests which we
don’t end up including in the show, chat which may be less about
business but nevertheless, well worth a listen. So in light of
our epiphany, we thought we’d try something new by adding a brand
new chapter to our show. Some might call it the outtakes, but as
Andy likes to say, it’s less business, more bullsh-t!





And so we kick off this new chapter with Dom's and Andy's rants
about their annoyances with having to deal with banks and
stockbrokers during COVID while Richard talks about Army life in
Afghanistan and his thoughts on how society can recover from the
war (the latter definitely not being bullsh-t, just to make that
clear)





Sounds interesting, right? Pull up a chair and press play.
