Leon Edler, co-founder of RoomFifty, gives a brutally honest account of running a successful online print shop that made £25,000 in its first three weeks and earned widespread acclaim over seven years, yet nearly collapsed due to the founders' lack of business acumen. Edler candidly discusses how brilliant creative vision collided with zero business sense, compounded by personal challenges including cancer, divorce, and undiagnosed ADHD, ultimately leading to a story of struggle and redemption.
