How to look at the mountaintop, not at the mountain

Geoffrey Kent, CEO of Abercrombie & Kent

Geoffrey Kent is the founder, chairman and CEO of Abercrombie & Kent, the world’s first ever luxury travel company and still the industry’s gold standard.

In this week’s episode, the travel tycoon tells us how he convinced the richest man in the world to become one of his first customers; why most entrepreneurs fall at the first hurdle; and how an incident with a tailored shirt changed his outlook on life forever.

Our thanks to Mark’s Club for playing hosts.

This episode has been recorded at Mark's Club, read by Joseph Bullmore and produced by Martin Lumsden.
