ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Welcome to “Founder to Founder,” the brand-new podcast series from Virgin StartUp.
This is where real conversations happen – founder to founder – as we dive into the crucial role that mentorship and community play in the journey of building a business.
Each episode, we sit down with inspiring founders to uncover the lessons they’ve learned, the guidance that shaped them, and the people who helped them along the way.
Join our host, Luke Johnstone, founder of PACK’D, Young Entrepreneur of the Year winner and Startup Mentor.
Luke started and scaled his disruptive food business, generating over £15M in sales delivering impactful products to more than 1 million customers.
PACK'D originally launched with support and funding from Virgin StartUp and now Luke returns to support the next generation of founders as a Virgin StartUp Mentor.
