Business Mutiny by Jon Graves
Business Mutiny: Wisdom from a Lifetime of Work is a straight-talking UK business podcast focused on the real stories behind entrepreneurship, not the highlight reel. Each episode explores the decisions, mistakes, lessons, and defining moments that shape business owners, founders, and leaders over time. From surviving recessions and navigating tax and growth challenges, to building teams, making tough calls, and learning the hard way, this podcast is about what actually happens when you’re responsible for a business. There’s no shortage of opinions and advice online but much of it isn’t grounded in lived experience. Business Mutinyexists to close that gap, sharing insight that’s been earned through doing, not theorised from the sidelines. Hosted by entrepreneur and investor Jon Graves, the podcast features in-depth conversations with business owners past and present from those still building today to those reflecting back on a lifetime of work. If you run, lead, or are thinking about starting a business, this is a podcast for people who want honesty, perspective, and practical insight without the noise.
