EP 101 - Gideon Hoffman: "Learn to keep your grip on ideas you believe in"

Meet the man who's part-responsible for setting up HMRC (for you lovely non-UK listeners, that's Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) and was at the centre of what became a giant media storm surrounding the Gambling Act with his emails debated at Prime Minister's Questions.

Gideon Hoffman is a decorated businessman who works across media, technology and finance. A trustee at the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (Gideon lives with an impaired hearing condition) and a lover of startups and growing businesses, Gideon is passionate about challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries. With a past life as policy maker at HM Treasury and now an avid Founder, Advisor and Trustee, Gideon is a man with a wealth of stories to tell and advice to give.
