In this episode, I sit down with Rick Stainton, the visionary founder of The Smyle Group, one of the world’s leading creative creative agencies delivering live and digital brand experiences globally. Rick shares his inspiring 20-year entrepreneurial journey, from the early days of launching Smyle with a bold vision, to growing it into a global powerhouse serving the world’s biggest brands.
