Season 2 | Episode 38 | The One With the Head of Nerdy Shit
This week on How I Failed in Business, we’re joined by one of our very own, Owen MacKinnon, aka Head of Nerdy Shit at Paragon Sales Solutions.
We unpack Owen’s career journey from recruitment into sales, the lessons learned along the way, and how finding the right job can completely change your trajectory. It’s a conversation about growth, confidence and figuring out what you’re really good at.
We also dive into the importance of content creation and team participation, why everyone should be involved (yes, Owen), and how showing up online as a business is all about aura.
And then… Megan files a formal grievance against Owen.
What starts as a professional conversation quickly descends into chaos, questionable workplace behaviour, and an HR nightmare that absolutely does not exist (probably).
In this episode, expect:
If you like your business podcasts honest, funny, and slightly unhinged — this one’s for you.
Stay in-touch with Owen
New episodes of How I Failed in Business every Tuesday — real stories, real mistakes, and internal disputes that should probably stay internal.
