No Office, No Team, No Exit Plan: £585K a Year As a Solo Founder with Patrick Reynolds

In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Reynolds, founder of Nord Search, who walked away from leading a nine-person team to build a half-million-pound recruitment business entirely on his own terms. Two young kids, a pregnant wife, and a deliberate decision to stop optimising for someone else's version of success. We cover the niche strategy that shrunk his entire target market to 300-400 companies, the podcast he launched in month two that now generates fully inbound business, and why 65% profit margins beat a big headcount every time.

In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Reynolds, founder of Nord Search, who walked away from leading a nine-person team to build a half-million-pound recruitment business entirely on his own terms.

Two young kids, a pregnant wife, and a deliberate decision to stop optimising for someone else's version of success.

We cover the niche strategy that shrunk his entire target market to 300-400 companies, the podcast he launched in month two that now generates fully inbound business, and why 65% profit margins beat a big headcount every time.
