When you’re first dreaming up a business idea, you imagine it at its best - as if your execution was perfect and your resources unlimited. When your friends ask at a dinner party, you say you’ll have Gordon Ramsey teaching cooking and Christina Aguilera teaching singing. Your friends laugh, you cheers each other - and carry on with your meal. But in the case of today’s guest, David Rogier, he’s turned that dream into a reality. Everyone thought he was mad, and pointed it out to him at various stages, but here we are with Masterclass, valued at $2.75b last year according to CNBC - and with the craziest line up of teachers you’ll ever see in one place. How has David pulled it off? And all this from a man who was bullied as a child over his stutter. We talk about:
- His grandparents meeting in Auschwitz
- Getting over his stutter
- How to choose which business to launch
- How he started Masterclass
- The real art of storytelling
- The hardest things he’s ever done
- Why he kept going when everybody told him to stop
