Follow All Things Business – The Podcast for the latest tips on entrepreneurship, education, marketing, sport, and news in Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes.
Ben sits down with Ellis Church and Joshua Foskett from Foskett Marketing. At only 18 years old, the duo has already been running their marketing business for two years and have clients from around the world. Ellis and Joshua have been passionate about entrepreneurship from a young age. They have previously pursued an eCommerce upstart and had a budding gardening business for a summer. However, in 2024 they made the leap into setting up a marketing business, riskily leaving education behind. The duo are grifters, doing door to door and cold calling for potential clients. Ben says he admires their hustler mindset. They also say that they are ready to gamble it all for the business, having no back up plan and little qualifications to fall back on. They believe that to succeed, you need the pressure and complete commitment to your cause.
