At Livewire we are told time and time again that behind every great business is an even better management team. We're told to invest in people rather than the business, to seek out CEOs who have prior experience building successful companies, to find leaders with "skin in the game," and, better yet, to back businesses led by founders themselves. 

So, in this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire Market's Bella Kidman is joined by WaveStone Capital's Catherine Allfrey and Elston's Bruce Williams for a look at five local founder-led businesses. 

We'll put a spotlight on Seek (led by co-founder Andrew Bassat), the eponymously named Goodman Group (led by Gregory Goodman), Flight Centre (led by co-founder Graham Turner), Mineral Resources (led by Chris Ellison) and WiseTech (led by Richard White), to figure out whether founder-led really is all that.
