My business partner and I were just out of college, living in New York City and felt like there was no city guide out there that was meant specifically for guys like us.
And when he offered some new terms, I felt uncomfortable agreeing to them without the benefit of talking to my business partner, even though some of the proposed options seemed workable.
Not long after HMV's stock market listing, Beechwood, (the agency I founded and ran with my business partner, John Wood) was asked to re-pitch for the business as a new marketing director and managing director had come in to the company.
