“You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.” – Wayne Gretzky Steve Sims is a master at making the extraordinary happen... Growing up in East London, Steve began his career as a bricklayer for his family’s construction company, but grew tired of the long hours and low salary. He committed to surrounding himself with people who had more money, and were having more fun, and that’s exactly what he did. As his network expanded, Steve launched luxury concierge company, Bluefish, that made once in a lifetime experiences happen for the rich and famous. He’s organized private dinner parties at museums in Florence with Andrea Boccelli as the guest tenor, sent people down to the wreck of the Titanic, and brought guests on a private tour of SpaceX led by its legendary founder, Elon Musk. As a speaker, Steve has presented to Harvard and the Pentagon. He’s also worked with an eclectic mix of leaders and changemakers, from Elton John and Richard Branson to Donald Trump and Sting. His latest book is Go for Stupid. In this episode: Steve’s origins a bricklayer and bouncer. How he’s been able to make unique – and seemingly impossible – experiences happen.
