Season 2, Episode 6: Building Community

In this episode of Button Banter we chat to Paul Lancaster, founder of PLATFORM and UK Startup Week about:

  • His background from semi-professional DJ travelling the world to becoming a North-East ambassador and “super connector”, spending 25 years giving business startup and growth advice, to leveraging his network to benefit others

  • Parallels between music and marketing

  • What even is marketing?

  • All about UK Startup Week held in Sunderland in June and the monthly networking meeting, Platform. These are great opportunities to build community, to share emotions and experiences. It’s a way to create a network of positive, enthusiastic, and likeminded entrepreneurs.
