In this episode, Liam talks to Luke Johnson, a former chairman of Pizza Express and Channel 4 television. A serial entrepreneur, Johnson has managed, raised finance for and invested in numerous companies, particularly high street names including Giraffe Restaurants, Feng Sushi and, most recently, Gail's Artisan bakery.
Johnson has combined his stellar business career with a sideline in journalism - and is also a highly experienced newspaper columnist. But business is what drives him – and, despite the challenges facing the UK economy, Johnson remains optimistic about the future of this country.
