The Juggling Years
Alongside The Deep End came a record label, a spirits bar, a beer supply business and a pub lease. I was a pub landlord in Hillsborough through the late 90s, running several things at once.
Seven companies at the same time. By 30 I was juggling all of them, and burning out. It taught me more about running a business, and about my own limits, than anything before or since.
