Meet Andrew Cotton. Surfing since the age of seven he knows all about the fine line between risk and recklessness.

Catching waves and being around the ocean has been his life. Andrew has firmly put Britain on the surfing map.

Andrew has made a lot of sacrifices to get to where he is today. Something he has in common with many entrepreneurial business owners. John Maffioli and Ben Eason of Hub CP sat down with Andrew to chew over the question ‘are entrepreneurs mavericks or artists of calculated risk?’.

Founding and then growing a successful business can require a certain amount of risk taking. Seizing opportunities can make all the difference. We wanted to explore Andrew’s attitude and how they align with entrepreneurs’ attitudes to risk, success and failure.
