Simon Squibb is one of the most exciting entrepreneurial voices in the international creator and startup world.

At 15, he became homeless. After the sudden death of his father, he lost stability, slept in a park, moved between friends’ couches, and slowly realized what it really means to have no safe place to stay. But instead of falling into hopelessness, Simon describes this moment as the point where his entrepreneurial muscle “woke up.”

With no money, no address, no website, no logo, and no experience, he started knocking on doors, taking care of gardens, and turning a simple service into his first business. Later, he founded 18 companies, sold Fluid to PwC, and became one of the most visible voices in entrepreneurship, social media, and new education.

In this episode, Simon opens up about his journey: from being homeless at 15 to getting his first customers, the principle of “don’t be a victim,” the power of social media, the creator economy, and personal branding – all the way to why young people today may have fewer excuses than ever before.
