In this episode, I’m joined by Jag Panesar, founder and director of Xpand, a full-service digital marketing agency based in West Yorkshire.
With 18 years in business, Jag has built Xpand into a trusted strategic partner for brands ranging from global names like Lindt Chocolate and Tetley Brewery to ambitious SMEs across the UK. But behind those 18 years are lessons about growth, change, resilience and what it really means to “have it all figured out.”
We talk about the evolution of business: how what you want, how you work, and what success looks like can change completely over time. Jag shares how his mindset has shifted from corporate expectations to authenticity, the lessons he’s learned from failure, and why agility and self-belief are essential for long-term success.
It’s an honest conversation about learning as you go, trusting the process, and remembering that no one ever really has it all figured out.
