It is wonderful to be back to announce a pretty special new podcast.
Yes, the long-awaited Australian business podcast is officially in your podcast player.
It is very long-awaited. I mean, I think you were trying to start this January 2021.
Yeah, so this is 18 months in the making. So we did one episode. I can't remember when that was. Actually, it was a while ago.
It came out in January 2021. Okay, so you know that.
Okay, so here we go.
I looked that up. But I think it's a good example of the fact that starting and running a business is a marathon and not a sprint. And that is definitely the case in our world.

Absolutely. And then there's a heap of people that are in businesses. They run their own business or they're a manager and they kind of feel lost. So it can be a very... Like if we say finance is a solo journey, I think running a small business is probably even more so because... every business is unique yeah and so we think to ourselves when we run a business well there's no one that can really help me and or i've got to figure it out or i've got to take it on and that happens so much in small businesses especially when you're the only employee at the very start yeah the very start you're the one that lays the groundwork decides on the strategies for you wear marketing hats you wear a hr you are the tax person you just do it do it all
