In this episode, Jon and Steve are joined by three North East founders who’ve each taken very different paths to building a business:
💻 Mark Renney – Managing Director, Wubbleyou
🧠 Billy Webber – CEO, XR Therapeutics
⚙️ Jarek Rosinski – Founder, Transmission Dynamics
Together, they share candid stories about the highs, lows, and lessons of entrepreneurship – from turning university spinouts into thriving companies, to weathering setbacks and learning the value of resilience along the way.
We discuss:
• The defining moments that sparked their ventures
• Why resilience is more than just a buzzword
• Surviving setbacks and using them as fuel
• Balancing vision with day-to-day reality
• The advice they’d give their younger founder selves
This episode is an honest reminder that behind every business is a story of risk, resilience, and relentless determination.
