Nathan John

“Be the change you want to see - if I can do it, so can you!”

Learn about Nathan's lyrical education: how he went from overcoming undiagnosed dyslexia to becoming a multi-award-winning entrepreneur, via lunch with Princes Charles and pitching to Prime Ministers.

Nathan is a successful multi award-winning young entrepreneur who has been publicly endorsed by the Prime Minister, appointed Young Ambassador of the Year for the Prince's Trust, been an entrepreneurship role model for the Welsh Government, and represented the UK as a business delegate.

Having overcome the barriers of being an undiagnosed dyslexic at school, Nathan set up a successful music and events business and became a DJ at the age of 18 while at university. Nathan went on to organise over 1000 events and to DJ at major music festivals all whilst completing a degree in Applied Economics.

Nathan founded award winning Rewise Learning Ltd in 2008. Nathan struggled to revise for his GCSEs, and was told he'd only ever achieve C grades; that's when he realised he could remember song lyrics, but not his revision notes - and he set about turning his weakness into a business.

To date Rewise has created four educational resources and training brands and engaged over 35,000 people with its award winning learning resources and courses.

Nathan has won multiple accolades for his work to date, such as being named as one of Wales' Rising Stars of business, being named as one the top Under 30 entrepreneurs by the Trinity Media Group, being named Digital Education Entrepreneur of the year, and in 2014/15 having the honour of chairing Virgin Media Digital Youth Council and giving a Ted Talk on the subject of “progress”.

Nathan is also proud to be a founding director of Surfablility UK CIC, a surf school for young people with disabilities.
