      He needs to remove the ‘HIDDEN’ price hike on every item in the app.
      My locate subway charge £5.60 for a footlong on the Deliveroo App the same footlong is £7.85.
      Delivery charge is £4
      ‘Service charge’ is 50p
      Then I’m told to tip!? Before & after delivery.

      Will is exactly the kind of founder and CEO I would imagine. It’s It’s the surrounding network of wealthy people who have to rethink the way they are with their own self image I believe Will is exactly the type of meat in there that I would consider. Who is down-to-earth people person his head isn’t it of his own ass which can be seen or even felt from counterpart millionaires.

    I really enjoyed this interview. I have had my own business for 20 years. It has been hard work and definitely taken over my life and spare time quite often, calls coming at any time that I have to respond to. I never employed anyone however. What I think about CEOs is that they serve. They serve a public need in the business they do, but they also serve in that they give people a job, a livelihood. People depend on this, and that is a lot of responsibility. And it does, or can, take them over too - "chewing glass, looking into the abyss" - powerful words. I like that Will's life hasn’t changed much, he still delivers, it is not about the money. And he looks actually relaxed on it. Hope he can enjoy some holidays too.

    Great episode with Will who reminds me of a honey Bee who busily works at gathering pollen & making Honey & is oblivious to the fact that they are literally holding up the ecology of the planet !
    Not focused on stock value yet the impact on millions of lives both consumers & restaurant owners, Chefs, employees, market gardeners etc etc etc etc is incalculable.
    Isn't wonderful when your Purpose finds you rather than contemplating your navel & trying to work out what your purpose is ?
    Imagine what would happen if Honey Bees decided that this honey production business wasn't their groove & they all went off to contemplate what their real purpose was in life - collapse of the ecology followed by the collapse of civilization.
    Keep doing your work Steven - Your impact is beyond your understanding & like the Honey Bee, will always be beyond your understanding ❤️ 🐝

    This just proves the point that an idea is worthless unless you take action on it. I wrote a business plan on the same model as Deliveroo called "Ask Henry" just after the crash of 2008/2009, 5 years before he landed in the UK and got the idea for Deliveroo. The difference is that i did nothing with it and he did. Action is everything and ideas, however great, are worthless without taking the action to progress it.

    Friendships and relationships are not on my priority list especially if they’re not my hype girls or hype men. I mean, honestly business has to be the first thing we have in common for me to even want to connect. Otherwise I don’t have time to hear about someone’s grandkids or how they’re staying at home with the kids while their husband works all day, because I just cannot relate.

Between 2012 and 2014 I used to regularly go and do massages to a guy called John Luca, an Italian working as a Banker on a high level position in London. At the time he lived between Chelsea and Earl’s Court. His wife name was Laure 😂😂😂. John Luca was such a cool down to earth guy. When I heard that story my hair electrified 😂 this is crazy 😂😂😂😂
