Today’s guest is Chris Averill. Chris is a successful entrepreneur, who built his tech business from scratch over a 16 year period...before selling it for a multi million pound price tag.
He survived two downturns, employed teams in London and New York, worked with Fortune 500 Companies and won a host of awards.
After the sale of his company, at a time when he should’ve felt on top of the world and relishing his success and financial freedom, he was struggling with panic attacks, the fear of failure, ‘sellers remorse’ and says he became the worst version of himself.
Chris now prioritises time with his young family and is mentoring other large business owners, to avoid the pitfalls he found himself in.
