From homeless at 15 to helping millions start.

Simon Squibb

Not your typical entrepreneur. When Simon was 15, his father died and he found himself homeless. To survive, he started his first company — a gardening business. That woke up what he calls his entrepreneurial muscle, and he never stopped.

Thirty years later he'd built Fluid, one of Hong Kong's most influential creative agencies, and sold it to PwC for more money than he'll ever need. Then he did something unusual: he decided to give it all back — one conversation at a time.

Today he's the founder of HelpBnk, a No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author, and the guy who bought a staircase in London so strangers could ring a doorbell and pitch their dreams.
