Entrepreneurship in Education: Scaling, Hiring and Letting Go

What does it really take to build and scale an education business? In this episode of **Three Bosses in a Pod**, Richard Cowell and Matthew Curnier are joined by Oliver for a brilliant conversation about entrepreneurship, leadership, hiring, systems, AI and the hard decisions that come with growth. Oliver shares his journey from early business ideas and commercial sales into building National Learning Group, bringing a different perspective to the education space through business experience rather than a traditional teaching background. In this episode, they discuss: How to tell the difference between a real opportunity and a shiny distraction What failure teaches you in business Why recruitment can make or break a company How to spot hidden talent in your team Why founders must learn to let go if they want to scale How AI is changing business and education Why the human touch still matters more than ever Oliver also sets Richard and Matthew a challenge: take one process in your business, break down every click, every step and every email, and find a way to remove at least 20% of the wasted effort. If you are building a business in education, growing a tutoring company, or trying to become a better leader, this episode is packed with practical insight.
