Julien joins the podcast, to share his experience in setting SLEEK - one of the fast rising companies in the world of business operations and administration service providers!

If you're starting up a business, you will need a corp sec, tax audits and all the other admin stuff that would probably baffle most people. Julien and his team bring simpler solutions using SLEEK.

But before SLEEK, there was another startup he founded, to which it took him 6 years to realize how to fail forward!
