Hi there and welcome back to another edition of ScaleUp Radio, the podcast inspired by the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System and designed to make navigating our ScaleUp journeys that little bit easier by learning from others' experiences. 

I’m Kevin Brent and this week on the show I’m  thrilled to dive into the dynamic world of multimedia publishing with Rick Mayston, Founder and Managing Director of Agent Fox Media. 

Join us as we explore Rick's decade-long journey, from founding Agent Fox Media to revolutionizing the sector. Discover the passion-driven approach, the unique 'Beyond the Book' initiative, and the fascinating collaborations with major brands like Marvel and Hachette. Rick shares insights on the evolving business model, ideal clients, and the crucial role of passion. 

Stay tuned as we uncover the milestones, learning curves, and the recent humbling nomination for a prestigious entrepreneur award. This is a conversation you won't want to miss, packed with inspiration and entrepreneurial wisdom.

Most founders I speak to feel busy but stuck; plenty happening, but not always clear on what genuinely matters most this quarter. If that’s you, the G90 Summit is worth a look. A structured half-day where we work through everything competing for your attention, get clear on the three to five things that must happen in the next 90 days, then commit to them and build the system to make sure they actually happen. Quarterly, virtual, £97 a seat.
