40 shades of Next
: 12 Part 1 - Olivier Goy - October - Fortune favors the daring
Description of the episode
Do you have to go to the best schools to be successful in life? Not always. Fortunately, there are many ways to accomplish this. Entrepreneurship is one of them. Recidivist entrepreneur, Olivier Goy, co-founder and CEO of October signs this 12th episode of 40 shades of Next. As usual, in the first part, we dive into his business. Olivier tells us all about the change in the company's name. To get from Lendix to October he had to go through a few "galleys". Established in 5 countries, the leaders of October were able to see closely how the various states reacted to help their companies and their entrepreneurs. Olivier deciphers the various “EMPs” for us and tells us how they stepped up to the plate with Bercy to obtain accreditation which will give them, too, the possibility of issuing them in France. This podcast is also an opportunity to come back to certain debates: do the takeovers of our fintechs come too early in their development? Should we rather be sorry to see so few sales in France? Then it is the man behind this success of the Next 40 who confides in our microphone: a passionate about editing sports, a big consumer of information and podcasts, addicted to his phone. We will come back to the madness of entrepreneurship at 26 years old when we are completely indestructible and we do not know the dangers vs undertaking at 40 years old, aware of the dangers and having the possibility of leaning on your network and your credibility. to go faster. It is the discipline and the rituals which also make the success of the leaders: Olivier will tell us some of his rituals. We discover his carte blanche, dedicated to the foundation he co-created with his wife, Virginie Goy, last December: Phosphore Food. Or how art is put at the service of the most disadvantaged. Finally, we will end this episode with an interview with the sparkling Maryline Perenet, the incredible founder of Digit'Owl who democratizes code at school without a screen!
