Jeremy Cookson, proves age is no barrier. After a long, successful career
delivering major projects for ad agencies and leaving a senior corporate
role at LotteryWest, Jeremy finally found the time and financial freedom to
pursue a passion project of his own.
He is the founder of AskPro, an innovative platform that connects
Australian nonprofits with high-level corporate expertise. 
In this episode, Jeremy opens up about the raw realities of starting a
business later in your career. He shares everything from the initial 'blind
terror' of someone stealing his idea, to getting bogged down in unfamiliar
new technologies, and how he pushes through those tough weeks where he just
wants to put the project down and step away.
