Today’s guest, joining us today on the Join Up Dots podcast interview, is a chap who knows how to scale a business.
From the UK, but running away from sheep, sheep and more sheep.
Yes, he is originally from New Zealand but now calls the home of warm beer, ultimate football failure, and Ant & Dec his home. He is a Business Scaling Strategist and accomplished leader with SME, mid-sized and FTSE 250 company experience.

Why as a leader you have to set the structure of the business as quickly as possible to stand any chance of making it a success. Why 90 day goal setting is such a big part of Shanes business, and he reasons that it should be part of yours too. And lastly……..
