James Reed: all about business · 74. How to grow a business fast and exit successfully | Andrew Hulbert · 13 Apr 2026 podcast

And so if you believe in fate, there's your little story on the fate side of things.

I studied business and I got into University of Essex where I went by the skin of my teeth.

I got the exact number of points only because I'd been to Glastonbury and I'd watched Oasis play and I was stood in a hundred thousand people crowd drinking beer and smoking weed and singing champagne soup and over and all that.

Came back, did the exam for general studies, which you didn't have to do any classes for.

And it said, describe a time that you'd been emotional.

And I wrote this essay about being emotional at Glastonbury.

And I got 100%.

And luckily for me, Essex included that general studies as a full A level.

And it counted towards my degree.

And I got in by the exact number of points.

Oasis.

Hugely.

And I went to Heaton Park twice to see them to try and thank them directly, but couldn't get close enough to the front.

But that was a real moment.

And actually, do you know why that was special?

Because I'd been earning money since the age of 12.

I'd been working in a corner shop, stuffing papers, getting up at 4am on Saturdays and Sundays.

I'd done some real work, yeah, rather than just stealing bikes.

And yeah, so I ended up, I had money in terms of like relatively small amounts, but

It's the first time going to Glastonbury, I spent that money on something.
