With the advent of website creation tools like Wix and Squarespace, making an impact online now is far easier than in the late 90s, where a young Michael Saunders - fresh from a degree in Film & Video Directing and Producing - began a ‘side job’ which formed the basis for an incredibly prolific digital agency celebrating its 16th year in business.Besides his more explicitly successful fiscal endeavours, on episode 11 of Extrology we hear how Michael was a part of what may have been the first multicam music festival live stream, the lessons he’s picked up from running a business with a large number of freelancers, and why learning to handle problems by yourself can be simultaneously a blessing and a curse. Lee and Michael discuss:Michael’s early passion for music and filmDeveloping a revolutionary multicam festival livestreamThe challenges of managing lots of freelancersPros and cons of learning to tackle issues yourselfOvercoming traditional issues with business scalingPicking the right business partners/investorsLinks and references at: https://www.extrology.com/Get in touch: lee@extrology.comSponsored by Progresso Talent Partners: https://www.progressotalent.com/Produced by Podcast Labs: https://podcastlabs.co.uk/Send us a textGet in touch: lee@extrology.comExtrology: https://www.extrology.com/ https://www.instagram.com/extrologypodcast/ https://www.tiktok.com/@extrology https://substack.com/@extrology https://www.youtube.com/@extrology Lee Cooper: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leecooperrecruiter/
