Episode 95: Rohan Blacker

Rohan's backstory is one of many chapters ... so many it would make a rip-roaring read as a book! A matrimonial lawyer who went into pubs, catering, soup, online food delivery, then sofa and most recently his online lighting company www.pooky.com (@pookylights).In this episode you will hear how Rohan emerged from life as a matrimonial lawyer to buddying up with this co-founder, the late Pat Reeves and creating two huge successes Deliverance (the first online delivery company to supply more than a pizza) and sofa.com.  When you hear the tale about buying the name, sofa.com, I dare you not to laugh. Rohan and I chat about the challenges he has experienced on his entrepreneurial path; the most recent losing his business partner of over 20 years, Pat.  We continue exploring the entrepreneur’s mindset and what the words entrepreneur, success and failure mean to Rohan.After our chocolate sojourn with Rohan’s favourite chocolate we get back on track and talk about his approach to wellbeing.  A ‘dry’ January (despite a slight tip off the wagon a few days before we meet) is one of them.I spin some of my thoughts on transitioning from one thing to another (in my case from the world of chocolate to the world of podcast)My book recommendation: The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse Charlie Mackesy.Chocolate: Terry's Chocolate OrangeQuote from the recommended book above: What I'd like you to do is imagine a little boy and a mole sitting by his side on a rock, looking out onto a vast landscape...  'The boy says, "What is that over there?" It's the wild said the mole, don't fear it.'*SUBSCRIBE NOW TO THE H&amp;P NEWSLETTER AND BE IN WITH A CHANCE OF WINNING OUR H&amp;P CHOCOLATE BAR*I would love your feedback on the show, what you would like to hear more of, less of, and importantly, none of. The best place to do this is on www.hopeandpatience.co.uk.Don't forget to keep up to speed with me and life with Hope &amp; Patience insta &amp; twitter @amelia_rope and facebook @hopeandpatience.
