Chris, thank you so much for joining me on the Happy Market Research Podcast.[00:00:37]Chris: My pleasure, Jamin. Great to be here.[00:00:40]Jamin: So I'd like to start out with a little bit of context as usual. Maybe you could tell us a little bit about your parents and how they inform what you do today.[00:00:47]Chris: It's a really interesting question. Without wishing to disrespect my parents, just to give you an idea, my mom was a housewife and my stepdad was a university professor. And in fact, I don't think I do take much inspiration career-wise from what they did. If anything, I think my inspiration comes from my grandfather, who was a self-made entrepreneur. The only boss he ever had, he says - he used to say was the RAF during the second World War. And I think that seeded somewhere in me an entrepreneurial gene that led to me cofounding Research Now and other things in the world of market research.[00:01:24]Jamin: Did you spend a lot of time with your grandfather?[00:01:27]Chris: Yes, I did. I actually left my parents' home on my 15th birthday. At the time we were living in Canada, and I moved across the Atlantic back to where I was born in England. And I lived with my grandparents, so my sort of formative teenage years or late teenage years were living with my grandparents.[00:01:42]Jamin: That's super interesting because I have a similar story. It's not about me, sorry, but just from a connection perspective, I did a similar thing where I moved out of my parents' in my mid-teens and in with my grandparents. And my grandfather was instrumental in my life in a very similar way as an entrepreneur, and he had his hands in lots of different things from garden farming to farmers market-type things to dairies, importing and exporting and whatnot. And so is very - I think that the entrepreneurial gene for me really came from his mentorship, and yes. So was he part of or around when you started Research Now?[00:02:33]Chris: Yes, he was. He's dead now because we started Research Now, myself and Andrew Cooper way back in 2000 actually, or 2003 when we rebranded as Research Now. And he was alive for about another seven or eight years after that, so he saw the early struggle, which I think all entrepreneurs go through. But also, I'm very pleased to be conscious that he also saw the early successes,
