Doc – “‘Will we still get to go on holiday?’\u00a0 That’s what my kids said when I told them I was investing some money in this business idea. I told them if a friend of 30 years asks you to be a part of their vision and dream, if you can do it, then you do it . ‘OK daddy but will we still get to go on holiday?’ So I’ll try to explain to them from Lanzorote that you always back your friends.”<\/span><\/p>\n
