Dave's Profile

My four favourite things are positivity, laughter, family and beer.

Thankfully I have all these things in my life. Going into this challenge, I think I'm going to need all of them in abundance.

I work full-time as the Creative Director at Monochrome, a web agency based just outside London. It was here that I met Jack, however he has since quit to commit himself full-time to PageMakerPro (if only I'd insisted in a clause against this in the rules).

As well as my job I also have an existing company called Hotels24Seven, a small, decade old hotel booking agency. What this business will look like post Coronavirus is anyone's guess. But it will almost certainly demand my attention in the near future.

I don't want to quit my job and I don't want to fold up Hotels24Seven. I love both. So I need to figure out how I can have my cake and eat it and make a million pounds on top! I hope the answer is in Tripstore...

It's clear to me that my only chance at keeping up with Jack is to graft it out. Hard. Thanks to my parents, this noble character trait came pre-installed in me. I'm certainly not afraid of hard work and long hours. And should I ever need the inspiration to keep going, I just have to remember that old saying: 'All work and no play makes Jack a millionaire before Dave'. And I'm not having that!

I may be lacking a clear business plan, a wealthy sponsor and natural business acumen, but I'll make up for these with a can-do attitude, a stubborn refusal to admit when I'm beaten and a fridge full of craft lager.

Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets...
