Ahead of time: the young entrepreneur who started a business that got the attention of Lord Alan Sugar!

"He's way ahead of his time." That's a common phrase that the world's finest and most gifted visionaries are used to hearing being used to describe them. In Zack Fortag's case, it's not just an appropriate description - it's a brand. Zack has enjoyed something of a rocket launcher style success curve, being featured by some of the most respected publications like Forbes, BBC News and Sky News. He's also been shouted out by Lord Alan Sugar. Zack was planning his future and getting started in business at the age most of us were going down the park and smoking to try and look cool. Zack is still much younger than most business owners, but he's building an empire of people to help him succeed. Check out all the wonderful partnerships and young enterprise initiatives Zack's been creating, here. During this conversation, you'll hear: Zack's challenging school life His origins in social enterprise How he handles the employee age differences His amusing story of how he once got removed from his own premises Zack's thoughts on Clubhouse, and other social media Zack's 'Spike' Want to catch up on previous episodes of "The Spike"?
