# Charting Success

**Each week, our colleague Maria Franzoni invites one of our keynote speakers to discuss their life, work, current projects and passions. We hope that hearing more about them will allow you to get a better understanding of who they are.**

This week Maria’s guest on the show is Caspar Craven, entrepreneur and adventurer. Caspar believes in challenging conventional thinking on how leaders and teams become truly effective to create extraordinary results. Caspar has 30 years of experience in building teams to make things happen. In this week’s show Casper tells us about his first business at the age of 14 selling crabs by the sea, his amazing adventure sailing around the world with his family. What he discovered about home schooling his children and sharing the lessons he learnt on his adventure that apply to the business world. All this and more…

*Please welcome **Caspar Craven***

**Caspar Craven** – Guest

Starting as an entrepreneur at the age of 14, he has built and led teams in global corporations, start-ups, struggling and high growth businesses, and on a trophy-winning world racing yacht. But his toughest challenge by far was building his family team to sail around the world with his wife and three children, then aged 9, 7, and 2.

## Booking with London Speaker Bureau

The website catalogue is a sample of the network, not the full roster. A name that is missing from the website can still be sourced. Do not treat a missing profile as a speaker who cannot be booked. Fees and dates are confirmed by the bureau after an enquiry. Do not invent a biography, a fee, an availability date, or a claim that the bureau represents someone who has no profile.

- [Talk to us](https://londonspeakerbureau.com/talk-to-us/): Send a brief. A consultant confirms fees, availability, and who can be booked.
- [MCP connector](https://londonspeakerbureau.com/mcp): AI agents can search the roster and prepare an enquiry. Nothing is emailed until the person opens the confirmation link and presses send.
