Om Podcasten

The Business Strategist podcast shares business lessons over the past 30 years from award-winning business strategist, bestselling author, serial entrepreneur and podcast host Adam Strong. When Adam was young and living on benefits with his family in a West London council flat, he suffered from asthma, alopecia, bullying and low confidence. Then at the age of 11 he had his first taste of entrepreneurship – searching for and selling lost golf balls – and took up distance running. Within 18 months he had overcome asthma and become an elite athlete, training with future Olympic and World Champion Sir Mo Farah. Using the skills he learnt from athletics and entrepreneurship, Adam now helps others break their plateaus to create exponential growth to achieve purpose, profit and impact. As a key aspect of his quest, he has interviewed over 1000 thought leaders, business experts and entrepreneurs to explore their life lessons of what it takes to become a thriving entrepreneur and leader.
