Hello, and welcome back to the latest episode of the Bulletproof Entrepreneur podcast. I’m your host, Alan Smith. In this episode, I speak with someone I’ve known for many years, and as you’re about to discover, he’s a force of nature!
His name is Jason Butler, and although I’ve known him for a long time, I had no idea just how challenging his upbringing was.  
People talk about a tough childhood and not having the same chances as other people from more privileged backgrounds, and Jason grew up in a house in south London with an outside toilet and a tin bath—almost Dickensian, as he says himself.
He had a challenging childhood, living hand to mouth, trying to hide from debt collectors and avoid being beaten up at the tough school he went to.
Yet he went on to build a leading financial services business, which he sold, bought back, and sold again.
<ul>
<li>During the conversation, you’ll learn how his early years taught him to be resilient when your back’s against the wall—metaphorically and literally—and this proved useful in his later years in business.</li>
<li>He shares the importance of creating a culture of continuous improvement and thinking about everything through the lens of your customers’ experiences. </li>
<li>He also explains the value of having a deep sense of purpose after a business sale, the importance of giving back when one no longer has financial worries, and how he took 18 months off after he sold his business to think and design the exact sort of life he wanted to live in the future.</li>
</ul>
He also shares an incredible David and Goliath story about the time he took on the taxman over something he felt was unfair and won.
These are a fraction of the valuable insights that Jason shares. It’s a long episode because there was no way I was going to cut him short as he shared these nuggets of wisdom!
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr Jason Butler
