Earlier this week I was granted an interview with Ben Keith, founder of Star Sports, greyhound racing supporter and one of the best known independent bookmakers in the industry.

Given the timing, this first segment has been pulled out of a much longer piece, and in it, Ben reflects on his love for, and connection to, the Greyhound Derby.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. To follow, in the coming days and weeks, is an insight into a remarkable life story.

In an incredibly honest and open discussion, Ben reveals the drives, ambitions, life lessons and values which have led to him becoming a fabulously successful businessman. Trust me, this guy is a shrewd cookie!

You can hopefully detect the essence of what is to come in this first video. Enjoy.
