Description

Brendan McGurgan is the co-founder of Simple Scaling: an organisation that helps ambitious business leaders to 10x their business through accelerator programs, best-selling books, acclaimed podcasts, and the upcoming ScaleX Summit.

He’s also a certified Wim Hof Instructor and self-confessed sauna-junkie.

In today's episode we talk about:

- His first job picking apples as a boy in Armagh
- Why he quit his retail gig over a coke
- (And got hired elsewhere an hour later)
- What led him to go from feeling “bulletproof” to being humbled
- The number one thing that holds business owners back from scaling
- How parenting prepares you for entrepreneurship
- Why scaling could be Northern Ireland’s superpower
- His personal scorecard for life
- And how “simple” and “easy” are not the same thing
