Welcome to episode 18 of The Founders Blueprint. In this week's episode, James engages in a conversation with Joe Campbell, the founder and creator of Culture City, one of Liverpool's fastest-growing corporate film, photography, and design companies.

Joe reflects on his college days, uncertain of where his journey would take him—whether it would lead him to join a band or venture into filmmaking. One thing he was certain of was his love for picking up a camera and capturing people living their best lives. But how could he transform this passion into a thriving business?
