New podcast episode: The record-breaking cyclist who became a venture capital investor

Morning everyone, the new episode of our Business Leader podcast is live and ready for you to enjoy.

We have covered some remarkable stories in our podcast, but this one is unique. It combines adventures, world records, a rescue in the Atlantic and venture capital investing.

How do you turn a bold idea into reality? How do you deliver when things get really hard? If you are interested in the answer to these questions then you should listen to this episode.

Anyone can come up with an idea and anyone can talk about performing at a high level. But Mark Beaumont has delivered on both. He holds the world-record for cycling around the world and has now turned his considerable skills to being a venture capital investor.

But that is only part of his extraordinary story. This episode of Business Leader is about endurance, setting new standards, getting things done and what business and sport can learn from each other. It tells the story of how Mark Beaumont went from growing up in Scotland to cycling around the world in less than 80 days and now working in venture capital with Eos Advisory and helping exciting new companies to grow.
