After some heady years working alongside Eric Watson as Group Marketing Director of the Blue Star Group, and being part of the team that saw the business grow from $4 million to $500 million in five years, I sold out just before my 30th birthday believing that there was more to life. I was right. I’ve prostituted many of my working years to corporates, not realising until a lot later why these relationships served me so well commercially yet left me drained in other ways.
