A feature length episode with Glenn Hopper who is Chief Financial Officer at Sandline. 

Glenn is not your normal CFO, he started his passion in writing as a journalist and fiction writer. Listen to Glenn’s transition to business which is fascinating. Glenn then spent time in corporate finance before moving into setting up start-ups.
