David shares his story of change, dark places and thriving through it all during a podcast session with Claire Taylor, Co-Founder and Author of The Story Mill.

 

Founded in 2013, The Story Mill is a Business Storytelling & Management Consultancy which was created to stimulate authentic dialogue within companies between employees, teams and leaders and externally between businesses and their customers and partners.

 

Claire Taylor’s podcast series called Thriving Beyond Stress & Burnout, tells the stories of real people who have navigated dissatisfaction, stress & burnout during their careers and are now thriving.

 

As Co-Founder of The Story Mill, Claire Taylor believes that “Every Business has an authentic story to tell”. A chance conversation helped Claire realise that storytelling was her passion. A year later she was trained as a storytelling performer. She now runs the The Story Mill with David Taylor and brings storytelling to businesses communications in leadership, strategy, culture, branding and innovation.

 

During this podcast, David speaks to Claire about how he moved from the corporate world to the wine business, overcoming the dark places and is now thriving through Add Then Multiply. He tells the story of how Add Then Multiply got its name and how his business model FACE – Fund, Acquire, Consolidate and Exit – corresponds with the Add Then Multiply name where “funding” is “adding” and taking everything and multiplying it together achieves geometric growth.
