In this week’s episode of That Bad Review, I’m talking to hospitality superstar James Henderson. James has had an incredible career that spans technology, economy, hospitality and podcasting. He founded a tech company in 2014 that capitalised on nightlife and social media, and the went on to create a Facebook group that brings together thought leaders across multiple industries. Not only that, he’s also launched his own podcast on the hospitality industry and started a festival.
Our chat covers a wide range of topics from tall poppy syndrome and having a fair go, to the way you can bounce back from failure and how you can use awards to grow yourself and your business. James shares with me how his mental health journey has taught him how to be self-aware and the inside secrets to online success.
