A fast-growing tech company supporting the e-commerce space. But we didn’t get Blake on to talk about SAAS and sales, there are a gazillion other podcasts full of that stuff. No, we wanted to get to the heart of growth leadership, finding talent, nurturing talent, and helping people to unlock their giftings. Blake knows (and he’s right) that there aren’t enough people talking about that. In a turbulent world heading for inflation bubbles, interest hikes, supply constraints and talent frenzies, we think he’s on to something.

BONUS EPISODE! Whisky Webinar - June 2022 - '90 Days For The Rest Of Your Life' We're back and breaking script for a moment. It's the beginning of a new financial year here in Australia. Many business owners and founders are looking to the year ahead and wondering what's in store for their business (and lives).  It's sometimes hard to plan when so much uncertainty is around you.
