Host Chris Melville returns with September’s monthly check-in on No Small Talk with Entrepreneur and Mentor Richard Harrison, from Caldera Investments, to discuss personal and business wins, decision-making, and asking for help.
Richard shares how opening up with fellow entrepreneurs helped him reset after a rough week, celebrates taking a spontaneous Tuesday afternoon to race MX-5s at Brands Hatch as a lifestyle win, and confirms a venue for a long-delayed networking dinner he’s been planning.
Chris reflects on grief after her children’s father’s sudden death, the physical toll of stress (shingles and infection), and learning to slow down, alongside exploring a potential business pivot to better serve solopreneurs selling into corporates.
They unpack ego versus arrogance, how emotional weight and too much information can delay decisions, and how sharing problems reduces stress, before wrapping due to time.
