Emma Storey-GordonHOST
What would you say to someone who is thinking about quitting their job and going all in on business? What do you wish you knew earlier? Or is it more like it's good to go in naive, i.e.
Emma Storey-GordonHOST
the Ross Edgley quote that's a bit like, be naive enough to start and then stubborn enough not to quit.
SamGUEST
Yeah, it's a really interesting question.
SamGUEST
I think you can have that mindset with something like the Antique Row.
Josh KemptonGUEST
Um, so sometimes I, I get people on calls, and if I see that willingness, I'll get them to book a race on the call there and then.
Josh KemptonGUEST
Um, and I think Ross Edgley says this, that, "Be so naive to start and too stubborn to quit."

I like
Humphrey BodingtonGUEST
Ross Edgley's one, which he says, ignorant enough to start it, stubborn enough to finish.
Fergus CrawleyHOST
Yes, yes, which is pretty much the game.
Fergus CrawleyHOST
You can apply that to almost anything in business, because once you're a few years into business, you go, fucking hell, I've got to develop some stubbornness here, otherwise I'm going to sink, I think.
RoscoeHOST
