(358) James Oliver: From Zero to Millions, Building Atlas Through Strong Belief.

What does it really take to build something meaningful when no one believes in you yet? In this episode, James shares his raw founder journey: from launching Atlas just one week after university, driving Uber to survive, being told he had a 99% chance of failure, to creating a product used by millions.

During our conversation, we discuss keeping perspective during dark moments, curiosity as a superpower, and why entrepreneurship is as much a spiritual journey as it is a business one.
