In this episode we talk to Cameo app co-founder Martin Blencowe. Martin’s story is sure to inspire you, although his journey to success was not smooth. We hear about his struggle with steroids as a teenage athlete in the UK, his pursuit of the American Dream in LA and how the Harry Potter films helped him through his father’s last weeks. Cameo is an app that allows users to order personalised video messages from their favourite actors, singers and sportspeople. The app’s success did not happen overnight, however. We hear about Martin’s career struggles (he’s a self-confessed failed Olympic athlete, failed sports agent, and failed film producer) and find out why it’s so hard for him to sit back and enjoy his success. Listen out for behind-the-scenes celebrity stories, and Martin’s favourite Cameo moment. Martin’s ‘3am Questions’: Favourite book - Lucky Man - Michael J.
