TBC: Recent Episodes
Mitchell Winton-Smith, John Holt
We unbox John’s new podcast equipment... and that’s about as far as we get. A bit of a write-off.
Paddock has a name—now what? Well, we need to establish a creative partnership to help realise the brand and overall design for the company. This isn't just a logo. We have all sorts of marketing collateral that needs doing (typography, newsletters, reports, templates, website, data visualisation, sound design, iconography, themes, colours, diagrams, maps, animation...). Calling all designers and creatives... we need help!

We get (very) philosophical about purpose. We also chat about the siloed nature of ESG, ambition's correlation with insecurity (and hedonism), John learns how many letters are in the alphabet, regulation's role in company constitutions, the problem with short tenures of executives, Tim brings some cool stats for us, John and Tim get competitive with their anecdotes, Mitch struggles to keep up, and how to start the B Corp process.
Equal parts entertaining and insightful, this episode is a real ride. Tim's an awesome human, and we'll certainly be referring back to this conversation—and his invaluable advice—as we continue on our entrepreneurial journey.

John and Mitchell talk about the idea behind the podcast, the business proposition, our backgrounds, how we met, and what we're trying to achieve with the company. Our business and podcast don't have names (yet), so stick around until the end to hear how you can get involved.
