Welcome to the eventful entrepreneur.

I'm Dodge Woodall, founder of Bournemouth Sevens, the world's largest sport and music festival.

Ever since events across the world came to a grinding halt.

I've been bringing people back together, but in a different way.

On this week's episode, I'm talking to a true entrepreneur, James Sinclair.

James has been creating businesses since he left school, going from children's entertainer to theme park and zoo owner.

And now with over 600 staff, he's even just bought a new ice cream business.

We chat through his journey of acquiring and growing businesses,

creating a personal brand, and how the pandemic hasn't stopped him building an empire.

And that was good money for a teenager.

And where were you based at this time?

Where were you?
