This week Chris talks to James Brown, CEO of Brewdog Bars and Co-Founder of TIPJAR.


During the episode Chris & James discuss the journey James & TIPJAR have been on since first meeting Chris at an EXP101 event back in 2019. A lot has happened since then on James’s journey with both Brewdog and TIPJAR.


Amongst huge growth and product iterations James teaches us a fairly big lesson about trademarking your product. It's a remarkable series of events with one of the tech world's giants, lawyers, counter offers and a German court ruling…you need to tune into hear this!!


Apart from that big news, we also discuss the following,

TIPJAR’s inception and uncovering a problem no one else wanted to solve!

Building a tech product in a pandemic

Hiring and keeping great people

Protecting your product and fighting for what's yours.

Supporting the hospitality industry and putting cash back in the workers pockets

Brewdog’s global domination and looking after people, regardless of what the papers say!

Getting the industry legislation ready 

Running two companies and finding balance between family life and worklife.
