About this listen

In life and in business, success is elusive and, if found, often kills the creative drive that delivered it: painters paint the same picture over and over again, musicians sing the same songs and businesses lose the ability to learn and adapt. Why does this happen? Through conversations with business thinkers and leaders, The Success Trap explores the philosophical, psychological and practical challenges of success - how to achieve it and how to avoid its pitfalls.

This podcast is for entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, inventors and investors, and anyone with an interest in how businesses grow and decline. First and foremost it is for our friends, clients, and fellow travellers. It is hosted by Feilim Mackle and Mike Adam, two of the founders of Amigo, a business on a mission to change the way that enterprises transform.
