Description

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast.   In this episode I’m talking to Graham Todd, a.k.a Todd, owner of Spaghetti Agency.   During the next 45 minutes Todd shares his journey from employed wine delivery driver to heading up his own digital marketing agency with a very strong brand identity.    Like many of my guests, Todd’s story is a fascinating listen. You’ll hear his humorous reflections of how a wine tasting event he shouldn’t have been at was the catalyst to leaving his marriage, job and home to set up his own business. And how Twitter paved the way for his success in love and in business.    If you’ve ever struggled to trust in your inner voice, Todd shares how he answers his own questions, why he is a firm believer in the value of coaches and explains what happens when his adult brain and 7 year old brain have a difference of opinion.    Just when you think you’ve got all the value you can from “Todd on the Pod” (sorry, I couldn’t not say it!) he shares why giving up alcohol has probably been the single most important decision he’s ever made. Far from trying to convince others to follow suit, Todd simply sets out his observations and personal experience.    Learn why he feels we are hoodwinked by the media to believe boozing is synonymous with success and having a good time. And why you owe it to  yourself to be your own best friend.    Of course not forgetting Todd’s response to the question I ask all guests, “What does failure mean to you?”    This amusing and inspiring episode will leave you wondering, if nothing’s guaranteed then why not steer your own ship and deal with any disasters in your own way!   If you enjoyed listening to Todd’s story or would like to know more about working with him or the Spaghetti Agency Posse you can contact him via the website.     If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/

Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it Fail Forward is the weekly podcast hosted by entrepreneur and family man Henri Ghijben. In each episode you’ll hear from Henri and guests as they share real-life experiences of positives born from failure, reflections on the lessons learned from ‘losing it all, and what fuels Henri’s desire to help others overcome personal and business challenges in order to create the lives they want to live. Who is Henri Ghijben? Growing up in Bury St Edmunds, Henri’s first memorable experience of failure left him with the lasting ability to never get lost. It proved to be the first of many times Henri would fail forward. But it wasn’t until he faced losing his home, business and possibly even his family, that he realised the truth. Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it. Against the odds, Henri has rebuilt from rock bottom. He’s now on a mission to help others avoid making the same mistakes he did, to help those facing failure see that there is a way back and that by failing forward they can enjoy success again. Ever thankful for the love and support of his family, the loyalty of his team and the help of business owners who helped him when the chips were down, Henri now lives in Southampton where he runs HRG Tree Surgeons, has growing property management and investment businesses and runs mentoring programmes for business owners, entrepreneurs and directors who are on their own growth journeys.
