What Were You Thinking?

Laura Round is joined by Entrepreneur Dominic McVey. He isn't your average businessman. Dom was recognised by the Queen as a pioneer in entrepreneurship at the age of 18 and was a millionaire by the age of 15.
He passionately believes that the private sector has a huge role to play in improving society and he talks in this podcast why it’s important for businesses to have a purpose and do good. His mantra is “doing good is good business”.
Dom is 35 years young and has already set up successful businesses, including in Africa and Asia. He talks to me about how to encourage more entrepreneurs to follow suit in investing in developing countries.
