Finding Future Leaders

David Abel

Finding Future Leaders is the podcast where university students interview founders.

Hosted by David Abel, founder of The Digital Lightbulb, each episode comes from one of our founder-led growth projects with UK universities. Students spend weeks researching how founder-led and family businesses grow. Then they put their questions to the founders who built them.

You hear the honest answers. How the business really started. What nearly broke it. How the founder had to change as a leader, and when to let go. And what success means once it isn't only about the money.

These conversations first appeared in print in our founder publication, and lots of you still have a copy on your desk. Now you can listen too. Look for the QR code next to each interview.

If you're a founder, an entrepreneur, a small business owner, a student or a graduate thinking about starting something, this show is for you. Expect real stories about entrepreneurship, leadership, brand building,
