My guest this month is Clitheroe based serial entrepreneur and savvy private equity specialist Richard Stephenson, CEO and majority shareholder of Yudu Media - the online publishing network accessed in over one hundred and eighty countries worldwide.

Nurtured by Richard since 2003, the business that has grown into Yudu comprises two websites:

• yudupro.com - a site aimed at professional publishers, key clients include The Financial Times and Metro
• yudu.com - a site that allows user generated content such as e-books, e-magazines, music and photos to be published free

In the interview Richard, who can be described as an ambitious and impatient entrepreneur with global experience, talks us through how he is building Yudu into one of the most dynamic businesses at the forefront of media convergence…and he also shares some of his top business tips for good measure!
