Episode two of our podcast features British entrepreneur Benjamin Cohen, the founder and CEO of Pink News.

Pink News was founded by Benjamin when he was only 23. It was a side hustle to his main job as an on-screen news correspondent on UK’s Channel 4 News.

Fast forward seventeen years and Pink News is now the world’s most popular online platform for the LGTBQ+ community, reaching over 60 million unique users per month across their various channels.

In this episode, Sam Barcroft and Benjamin explore:

  • How any setback can become an opportunity with a bit of hustle and the right mindset/perspective

  • How to bring your partner into your business and work successfully with them
  • Dealing with multiple sclerosis as a founder and CEO
  • The power of taking urgent action
