Dom dropped out of university to co-found Social Chain, growing the company to 550 employees with group revenues of nearly €200m per year, before a successful IPO in 2021. Dom has since founded his own fund, Fearless Adventures, which intends to grow the "next generation" of direct-to-consumer (D2C) success stories. In this episode, we discuss Dom’s journey and how that has impacted his mental health, the best advice he’s had along the way, and why Social Chain’s IPO isn’t even his greatest achievement.
