How I Failed: Losing $1.5 million on someone else’s dream, with entrepreneur Simon Squibb

Simon Squibb is a multi-millionaire entrepreneur and angel investor. After being homeless at 15, he has gone on to found 19 businesses and invest in 76 companies to date. After selling his business to PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) he retired at 40 and is now on a mission to help 10 million people start their own businesses through the Purposeful Project.
But it wasn’t a straight line to success, and one of those businesses, a comic book business, failed, losing $1.5 million.
