This week, we sit down with Ed Prow, founder of Potting Shed and TEKEX, and Chris Sheldrick, co-founder of what3words, to explore what it really takes to turn an idea into a globally recognised business. Chris shares the remarkable story behind what3words, from a career-ending injury as a classical pianist to building a platform now used by emergency services, global brands, logistics companies and millions of people worldwide. He opens up about the challenges of changing human behaviour, raising capital, building a team and staying committed when many people believed the idea was simply too crazy to work. Ed discusses the power of branding, innovation ecosystems and why smaller jurisdictions such as the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey have enormous untapped potential for entrepreneurship. Together, they explore creativity, risk-taking, AI, founder mindset, failure, resilience and the importance of executing ideas rather than simply talking about them. This is a conversation about ambition, innovation and the courage to pursue ideas that others don’t yet understand
