That Bad Review with Adrian Easdown

Michael Vincent is the host of The Seachange Business Podcast. Through his podcast, Michael seeks to understand the back story behind what makes business owners successful.

This week’s episode of ‘That Bad Review’ Podcast is done a bit differently. Instead of asking the questions, Adrian is interviewed by Michael. By sharing Adrian’s own experiences with podcast listeners, Michael and Adrian hope to help others navigate the often difficult and overwhelming situations that come hand in hand with owning a business.

Adrian and Michael have a great chat about Adrian’s back story and how he got into the accommodation industry. They discuss tips for starting a new business and how to succeed in the business world. Valuable insights into the importance of feedback and empowering staff are offered during the interview. They also talk about the need to remove oneself from daily operations, in order to successfully scale a business.

If you’re a business owner or looking to start your own business, if you manage or operate any kind of service-based enterprise, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.
