Entrepreneur and Dragons' Den star Steven Bartlett has shown his support for a former Apprentice candidate who made the bold decision to leave the show. Dr. Jana Denzel, who stunned viewers and Lord Alan Sugar with his departure, has now reached new heights of success with the help of Steven Bartlett.
It all started when Dr. Jana walked away from the chance to win a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar following a challenging task in the competition. He cited a hurtful comment from Lord Sugar as the reason for his exit, while sources claimed he felt like he was being set up to fail. However, since leaving the show, Dr. Jana has flourished and now runs a successful dental practice in London, catering to celebrity clients.
Just a month after leaving The Apprentice, Dr. Jana launched Denstudio, an award-winning dental practice on Harley Street specializing in both general and cosmetic dentistry. He reflected on his decision, explaining that his business has only excelled since leaving the show. He knew the environment wasn't right for him and was eager to get back to his business. Dr. Jana also shared that he had decided to leave in the previous episode and followed his gut feeling.
Despite leaving the show, Dr. Jana remains grateful for the experience and the opportunity to learn from his fellow contestants and Lord Sugar. He has applied the skills he learned to grow his business, and it has proven to be a successful decision. His unwavering faith in his vision has led to the company's success, which is now valued in seven figures.
With the backing of Steven Bartlett, Dr. Jana was introduced to commercial director and investment manager Danny Gray, who is set to support the same business plan that Dr. Jana had prepared for Lord Sugar. The dentist credits Steven for helping him achieve amazing things in his career.
Last year, Dr. Jana's company had a turnover in the six figures, and in the last three months, it has increased to seven figures, according to Metro. This success comes after Dr. Jana addressed rumors and allegations of using racist language during the show. He clarified that he had made an ill-informed remark while creating a character for a task and was later offered training by the production team. Dr. Jana explained that his intention was to promote diversity in the industry and that he has now learned from the experience.
Despite rumors that he felt like he was being set up in tasks to make him look bad, Dr. Jana maintains that his decision to leave the show was not related to those claims. He left the show, and the production team reached out to him for training after filming had wrapped up.
