Episode notes

My guest this week is former jockey turned founder Andy Bartlett. His Roam local app allows people to access an array of local knowledge of food, drink and things to do across the world.

He knows a thing or two about being quick out of the blocks and dealing with hurdles in both his horseracing days and now as a business owner. In this episode, Andy speaks about how his childhood shaped his self-awareness and ability to be authentic when marketing his product. How the network he built whilst in the racing industry has helped him to generate 3 million hits in its first week.

If you’re looking for practical tips on how to build and market an app. Utilising your network to raise money and drive downloads, you’re in the right place!
