Mit navn er Jernan Maldonado, og jeg er grundlægger af Aoi, en gavebutik med fokus på kunstner og håndladede produkter. Jeg valgte Shopify, før da jeg testede andre platformer, var det klart en af de mest brugervenlige. Det var vigtigt for mig at tænke over, hvor vi ville være i fremtiden. Alle værktøjerne til at få overblik over saldet, f.eks. lagerstyring, er lige der i dit kontrolpanel.

In this series, entrepreneur and author of Next-Gen CEO Mike Souter talks to leading historians about remarkable figures who have changed history. In this instalment, Mike is joined by Tracy Borman, author and chief historian at historic royal palaces, to discuss how Elizabeth I used decision and indecision as a deliberate strategy, and why her control over her image as a leader was so powerful it remains iconic today, almost 500 years later.

What leadership lessons can we learn from history's most powerful people? I'm entrepreneur Mike Souter, author of NextGen CEO. You may also know me as a ruthless interviewer for Lord Sugar on BBC One's The Apprentice. In History Extra's new series, History's Greatest Leaders, I'm joined by experts to unpick the lives and decisions of the past's most formidable figures. What can they still teach us today?
