Insights into Success with Paul Dodds
I was fortunate enough to be invited onto Paul Dodds’ Insight into Success podcast, when we discussed the business journey that I went on from start up all the way through to the business sale.
The ‘Insights to Success’ podcast was created to give small business owners and entrepreneurs access to successful business people to hear about their ‘warts and all’ journey to success. This was my opportunity to do exactly that.
