Chris Ducker on "Rise of The Youpreneur" and building your personal brand - MAF160

Returning to the show this week for his second appearance is serial entrepreneur and author, Chris Ducker.

He's just published his new book, Rise of the Youpreneur. I'm delighted Chris included my own business as a case study in his book. We chat about how he built the Youprenuer community, planned the book and the writing process.

Welcome to episode 160 of the Marketing and Finance Podcast.

We chat about:

  • What a Youpreneur is
  • Steps to take to make your business future-proof
  • Where the idea for the book came from
  • The story of how Chris built the Youpreneur community and what it does
  • How Chris structured the book
  • The writing process explained

Who is Chris Ducker?

Born and raised in London, Chris’s career started in publishing and events planning. He moved to the Philippines, worked as a consultant for a few years, before setting up a recruitment hub and a co-working space.

This led to the Youpreneur community, which sits alongside Chris’s personal brand. He has 460 employees and says “scotch, Star Wars and playing with his kids” are what makes him tick.

He’s a serial entrepreneur, running several big businesses. He specialised in helping people find virtual assistants. This led to his first book, Virtual Freedom.  He later pivoted into the supporting Youpreneurs.
