Ep 120. Why This Entrepreneur Moved Home To Start A Business (Flynn Little)

After a decade in Australia, Flynn Little moved back to New Zealand to start a business. He teamed up with his best friend to create Sweet As Rewards. Now, they’re on a mission to become NZ's best rewards site and change some lives along the way.
This was a very organic and free flowing chat that I enjoyed with Flynn. We talked about finding your community, Tony Robbins, business ownership, ikigai, and much more!

Ep 112. Business & Coffee Chat With C4 Owner (Paula Griffith-Jones)

27 years ago, Paula Griffith-Jones didn’t even know how to order a coffee. That quickly changed when she met her husband, Guy. Together they’ve built one of Christchurch’s most successful cafés, alongside a coffee roasting and distribution business.
Paula and I chat about the origins of C4 Coffee, her new business venture Beauty at Dukes, and looking back, whether she would do it all again.
