    ABOUT THE HOST

    Nick James

    Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.

    Within 12 months he was the top performer and left to start his second business at 24. This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company.

    He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash!

    Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.

    He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires.

    Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage.

    Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to six figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme.
