In this episode of the Chester Centurion podcast, I’m joined by Ian Hazeldine, founder of Yellow Circle, a web design and software development agency that’s been innovating since 2007.
We dive into the real journey of entrepreneurship—starting with an inheritance-fuelled leap of faith and landing in a full-service digital agency that’s helping businesses transform. Ian opens up about:
- Why offering work for free is a fast track to burnout
- How to actually get work-life balance back (spoiler: close your inbox)
- Why “mates rates” should mean full price and paid on time
- The future of websites in an AI-driven world—and why humans still matter
- His 3 biggest pieces of advice for anyone starting a business
This is a masterclass in self-respect, business boundaries, and making tech work for you—not the other way around.
If you’ve ever struggled with undervaluing your work or being “always on,” this episode will hit home.
