Description:

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Former BBC Dragon, chess Olympian, economist, trading algorithm pioneer, and care system survivor, Richard Farleigh combines hard-won experience with sharp ideas in this powerful “business book meets biography.” Humble Stumbles is divided into bite-size sections including 46 business strategies - from disruption, discovery, and defence, to why great ideas are worth nothing, the best products don’t always win, and how to fight “infinite start-ups.” Along the way, Richard shares lessons from themes such as chess strategy, negotiation, psychology, and randomness, and even detours into religion, fame, and mortality. The book also tells the stories behind some of his most notable ventures, including helping establish London’s celebrated private members’ club "Home House", and backing the phenomenally successful Reggae Reggae Sauce. Business anecdotes range from buying 10,000 tennis rackets to acquiring a vast private sapphire collection. Richard’s journey is as compelling as his insights. Raised in the Australian care system and written off as “backward,” he fought his way to a central bank scholarship, became one of the world’s highest-paid hedge fund managers, and “retired” in his thirties. He went on to write the bestselling Taming the Lion, appear in two Chess Olympiads, and help launch more than 100 businesses. Candid, original, and full of practical wisdom, Humble Stumbles is a unique guide for anyone starting, growing, or investing in a business. Duration - 6h 27m. Author - Richard Farleigh.
