Ash has a great story. One in which he describes himself as someone who wasn’t meant for success due to the adversity he grew up in.

Founding the company 8 years ago, the growth has been anything but easy.

We talk about:

How Ash got the business off the ground through cold calling.How he stayed under the radar of competitors for some time. Why his first business didn’t work out and what would he do differently in hindsight? How Covid affected Chess Mates and how he got through it.

A great entrepreneur who shares so much of his story.
