#19 How to weaponize imposter syndrome | Jeremy Liddle

At the age of 20 Jeremy founded his first start-up business in
the booming Australian juice bar trade, opening Australia's
number one Juice Station Outlet. In 2005, he went on to co-found
a natural health company called RioLife which picked up various
accolades, including winning Australia's fastest-growing small
business 2010 for My Business Magazine.  

He served as the Australian President for the G20 Young
Entrepreneurs Alliance & summits, and Director of
Entrepreneurship for The Enterprise Network for Young Australians
where he advised world leaders on global best practices in policy
and processes for business success, with the intention of
creating positive change & sustainability.  

In 2014 he co-founded CapitalPitch a venture capital and capital
accelerator company as he realized that entrepreneurs solve the
world's problems but a lack of access to capital inhibits so many
from changing the world.  

Currently, he is mainly focused on SDGx, a venture capital and
advisory group he co-founded in 2019, which is building an
ecosystem to achieve the UN´s sustainable development goals.
  

Jeremy is the author of the book “From Idea to Start-Up” that
assists entrepreneurs to implement processes to create a vision
and execute a dream. As a speaker, Jeremy has presented at TedX
talks across the globe on topics like entrepreneurial thinking
and leadership.
