This week Emma sits down with a true legend of the business world—Mark Mills, OBE. 🚀
Mark is an entrepreneur who walks the walk and amongst many business exits grew and scaled Cardpoint in 6 years to £100 million revenue and £20 million EBITDA!
This episode is packed full of real life stories of what Mark looks for in a business, how to grow and exit and why he took a trip to the US for business inspiration
🎧 Here’s what you’ll take away:
✨ How to keep finding inspiration in business, even when you feel out of ideas
✨ Why listening to customers is the key to your success
✨ The secret to bringing your team along on the journey, keeping them productive, happy, and focused on growth
✨ Why getting your business model right is non-negotiable—and how higher barriers to entry can actually set you up for success
Stick it on during your commute, pop it in your headphones at the gym, or just kick back with a coffee and enjoy.
Speaking of coffee… Guess which major coffee chain Mark missed out on bringing to the UK? ☕ Listen to find out!
Let me know what you think!

Posted on Philip MulvennaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've worked with MI PA for several years and during that time they have supported us with PA services, call overflow and sales support. They're a great team who really care about their customers. For anyone looking for support with any of these areas, I could not recommend them highly enough.Posted on Chloe Christine-WallisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mi-PA have been a game changer for our small business. We started with Mi-Call last October where the team could take some pressure off my husband taking calls whilst he is out working on jobs, and we’ve now got our own dedicated PA to support us while we concentrate on our growth. The team at Mi-PA have always been so friendly. They listen carefully to your needs and tailor their way of working to how it suits your business, a skill that helps ‘change’ come easily. Helena’s ‘check in’ phone calls are priceless to ensure that everything is running smoothly, and if there’s anything at all that needs to be tailored to make working together seamless, the team at Mi-PA will take it onboard and action immediately without question. They are also brilliant at coming up with new ways of working that we wouldn’t have even thought about! We’ve been so impressed with the team, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.Posted on Mark BlackhurstTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
