After 14 years in the Royal Marines, Oli Mason found himself going from throwing beer festivals in a town hall, to creating a fully formed family festival with none other than Bear Grylls.  Through a load of hard graft, and a little bit of naivety, Oli managed to secure a six figure sponsorship deal in year one, and the Gone Wild Festival was born.The story of the festival is filled with huge challenges, big mistakes and massive wins. It’s a fantastic example of the risks and rewards of the events industry.Website: DodgeWoodall.comTikTok: @DodgeWoodallYouTube: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallLinkedIn: Dodge WoodallFacebook: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

#120. Ex Commando Owning a Festival with Bear Grylls - Oli Mason

I've known this episode's guest a long time, since we were both undergraduates at Oxford back in the Noughties. Oli Mason (https://twitter.com/moreolimason) went into making films, and he's made an impressive number over the decade since graduating. He's also been made redundant three times (same as me!), so he's very well-placed to talk about the ups and downs of making films in a digital age.  Oli's latest project is making a short film with the BBC and BFI to celebrate 30 years of the internet, by looking at how gay men have met each over the years. The film is very much about analogue becoming digital, and how society has changed so much over recent decades. His career in film reflects huge industry changes too. See the crowdfunder for his film here, every penny helps:  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/have-we-met-before-an-lgbt-short-film#/ You can find Oli on Instagram here: @moreolimason.  -- How has your industry moved from analogue to digital? Each episode, creative guests tell host Suchandrika Chakrabarti how the internet has revolutionised work.
