Inspiring episodes + interviews, helping shape the future for entrepreneurs, business owners + experts in their field.
Tune into the Business Habitat podcast with Sam Dean.
[Previously known as ‘The In Demand Accountant’ podcast].
In our expert professional services businesses, where the rules were written last century and the world keeps changing around us...how do we as experts who have spent years, sometimes decades getting our technical skills to the ultimate level and proportionally little time learning the ones required to grow our businesses based on our own terms, re-write the rules for ourselves.
That’s the question and this show explores the answers.
Stay tuned and enjoy some brave conversations.
