James Welch on the business that thrives on less stuff

Published on: 21st May, 2021

Here I speak with former house mate, friend who helped me get hired into my first job in advertising, advisor to TIE since 2009 and Chief Commercial Officer at the start of WhyBuy, the UK based business that helps people hire quality products and thereby own less.

We talk about so many things.

James Welch has lived and worked in 7 countries around the world. He reflects on that experience. We talk about living together, random things that happened, and the start of Shazam.

James questions me – which hasn’t happened on a podcast before (I quite liked it!).

He explains what TNDP is – the event he set up many moons ago when living in Sydney. And continued in London until Covid hit (I presented at one, and was at the last one in London before the world imploded).

And then he talks to us about Why Buy, the business that thrives on less stuff. Basically, why buy when you can get better for less?

Such a great chat. Enjoy!

Oh, and if you want to know more about Why Buy check them out here. Rent, don't buy!!
