    Building Success Through Setbacks with Alan Rhode


    About Alan

    Alan was born in Genoa, a chilled out town on the north-west coast of Italy. He spent many years working as a lawyer in the more hectic Milan, before moving to London in 2015. After three failed e-commerce start-ups Alan founded tax and legal consultancy, Taxmen, which as it flourished allowed him time to write. Although Alan did not embark on writing his book until his 40s, he reminds himself he is in good company with very established authors such as Umberto Eco, Isabella Allende and William Golding also starting later in life. Alan is an accomplished speaker who regularly presents and delivers workshops. When he has a spare moment, which is rare, between running his business, writing and spending time with his young family, Alan enjoys watching vintage movies and playing tennis. He juggles a lot but manages it without stress. The word ‘stress’ does not belong in Alan’s living dictionary as he considers life to be too precious. Alan is currently working on his second book after the completion of his first book, The Eagle and the Cockerel.



    From lawyer to entrepreneur to published author, Alan Rhode’s career path is anything but linear. On this episode of My Perfect Failure, Alan explains why he sees setbacks as crucial steps toward growth. He opens up about his transition from law, the lessons he learned as a rookie entrepreneur, and why ambition always trumps fear for him. Alan’s belief that “you have to be brave to inspire” rings through his journey. Tune in to hear how he built his company Taxmen and carved out time to write The Eagle and the Cockerel — and why he’s determined to live a life full of diverse experiences and passions.


    Key Insights:
    •How ambition outshines the fear of failure.
    •We discuss Alan’s book “The Eagle and the Cockerel.”
    •The value of starting late and pursuing big dreams.
    •How setbacks shape a resilient, adaptable mindset.
