Sean Reddington, now 43 years old and CEO of Thrive, a €250 million AI-based online learning company used by major firms like Vodafone and British Airways, recounts his journey from dropping out of school at 16 to accumulating €19,000 in credit card debt. He describes feeling like the black sheep of his family and initially having no clear plan after leaving education.

The cycle ended when his parents received a bill for over €19,000, which shocked him into realizing the consequences of his actions.
