Happy Startup Member Spotlight - Francois Souyri, founder of Paperblade

Are you a company of one?

From Paul Jarvis’ book of the same name a company of one is a founder who does not believe in growth for growth’s sake.


Their goal is to build a company that is focused on being better rather than bigger.


In this episode of the podcast I talk to one of our Happy Startup members who’s taken the company of one mission to heart.


From this conversation you’ll hear about why Francois decided to work for himself, what he’s learned about authenticity in business and why he’s valued being part of a business community that doesn’t just offer support at the business level but also at a personal one.


If you’re on the Company of One journey and currently finding it a lonely and challenging path then this episode is for you.


Francois Souyri is the founder of Paperblade. He empowers businesses who use Office 365 to use the technology to operate and grow more effectively. Rather than waste time trying to solve IT problems he’ll free you up to work on the more important things.


If you want his help and support go to 365coach.me for immediate Office 365 support or paperblade.com for strategic IT consultancy.

About the Podcast

Happy MBA
Do what lights you up, not burns you out.
If you want to be the next Elon Musk look away now.

This podcast is for the new breed of entrepreneur that wants to make money, do good and be happy.

An antidote to 'business as usual'.

Hosted by Carlos Saba and Laurence McCahill, long-time friends and co-founders of The Happy Startup School, an alternative business school and thriving community of entrepreneurs.

Back in 2012 we believed there had to be a better way than this.

And so we set out on a mission to create a new story of entrepreneurship. One where happiness and purpose came before profits.

Over the last decade and more we've built up a tribe of practical dreamers, creative visionaries, changemakers and wisdom workers that are committed to making a positive dent in the world.

If you want to do business differently this podcast is for you.

We cover some of the big questions that people like us face:
- How do I find my purpose?
- Am I too old to reinvent myself?
- Will people care about my ideas?
- How do I balance meaning with money?
- How can I find more of my dream customers?
- How can I grow my business (without burning out)?
- How can I make my business more fun and energising?
- Should I just jack it all and get a job?

Tune in for insights, stories and laughs from two old school friends that became accidental entrepreneurs and built a global movement, one relationship at a time.
