Caspar Craven: Change or Stay Stuck

In this episode of the ScaleX™ Insider Podcast, I’m honoured to welcome Caspar Craven—seasoned entrepreneur, leadership expert, and author of Be More Human and The Big Bold Mindset. Caspar learned first-hand that success isn't about avoiding challenges — it's about embracing them and harnessing their power. Having started as an entrepreneur at 14, he’s since built and led teams across global corporations, start-ups, struggling businesses, and high-growth ventures. With five years at KPMG Corporate Finance and multiple roles as CEO, CFO, and Board Advisor — including several successful exits — Caspar brings hard-won wisdom to every conversation. Oh, and did we mention? He’s sailed around the world twice — once as a crew member on the BT Global Challenge, dubbed the world’s toughest yacht race, and again with his wife and three children under ten in tow.

Will You Walk Through It? ✅ Rock Bottom Saved My Life ✅ Stop Letting Life Happen. Start Leading It. ✅ Want a Strong Team?
