| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Jimmy's Jobs. Founding a startup is stressful, difficult and often painful |
| 0:12.8 | at times. One of the most important skills we've found as many previous guests have said |
| 0:17.6 | is resilience. So after going through it all works, you would understand if someone |
| 0:21.7 | never wanted to go through it all again. Today's guest is Nigel Verdon, who has started |

| 2:00.6 | to be on the show. One of the first questions we ask is what's in a name, and your story |
