Here in Episode 14, I speak with an inspirational young entrepreneur, Sam Halligan.

Sam’s passion for cars was ignited when aged 17 he exported two Cinquecento’s from Italy. This led to founding Samuel Lloyd & Co where he matches worldwide petrolheads with Land Rovers and European classics. He is now embarking on a mission to revolutionise the way collector cars are transacted globally, alongside fundraising for the charity ‘Cool Earth’.

Like Episode 11 with Sam’s mum Elaine, this episode is made up of two conversations, recorded a year apart in December 2019 and December 2020.

A huge amount changed for Sam during the year, but by listening closely to the first part you’ll hear the acorns were there long before Covid.

Sam explains:

- how he realised entrepreneurship was for him
- how he’s explored things he’s passionate about
- how he’s found solutions to problems his customers have

Sam’s best advice is to start with something you know well, you’re passionate about and to have belief you’ll make it happen.

Sam is also a contributor to my book, Project Future.

Enjoy!
