The two-hundred-and-fifty-grand jobs. The ones too small for the billion-dollar giants, too good to leave on the table. He saw the gap, and he jumped in feet first.</p><br><p>From his kitchen table to thirty-five staff. Behind the growth was a man who never forgot where he came from - a council estate kid who married into a world of Rothschilds and Beaconsfield mansions and never once lost his own compass in the process. He talks about the business partner who carried equal weight and equal risk, the wife who covered the mortgage and told him he had two years to make it work, and the early investor who helped him understand what an exit actually looks like - and what it costs to buy one back.</p><br><p>Chris now reflects on what it means to build something real - with your own money, your own name on the line, and no safety net below you. Still grafting, still learning, still treating the dinner lady and the CEO exactly the same.</p><br><p>This is the eventful life of <strong>Mr Chris Gore </strong></p><br><p>All Enquiries - <a href="mailto:Hello@DodgeWoodall.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hello@DodgeWoodall.com</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://dodgewoodall.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DodgeWoodall.com</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/DodgeWoodall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dodge Woodall</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dodgerwoodall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dodge Woodall</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dodge.woodall/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Dodge.Woodall</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@dodgewoodall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DodgeWoodall</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dodgewoodall/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dodge Woodall</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
