How to secure the bag & a place on Dragons' Den ft. Steven Bartlett

De-Graft Mensah and Roshan Roberts host the podcast with big chat, big facts and big laughs, where we go deeper into the stories we're all talking about. Now you know.

Business tips from the youngest ever Dragon on Dragons' Den. Steven Bartlett is the 28-year-old founder of Social Chain - a company now worth hundreds of millions of pounds. So, who better for De-Graft to ask what the word β€œrevenue” actually means? Nah, seriously though, Steven tells us why quitting is just as important as starting, how to take those first steps for your business, and how treating life like a video game helps him cope.
