May 08, 2023 To work with or to not work with your Life Partner?
Could you work or run a business with your partner? I think for many the answer would be a firm NO! But there are plenty of couples out there that run businesses together – whether through planned decisions or circumstances. In this episode Trudi and Sarah speak with Ush Danak of the EQ Academy about the pros and cons of running a business with your life partner. They talk through some of the things you need to consider before jumping into this type of work
arrangement such as responsibilities, pay and whether each partner actually has the time, focus and desire to contribute to the business. Working with your
partner can be an amazing opportunity to spend more time together and grow something as a team but can also be the rod that breaks the camel’s back.
Listen in to see if this is right for you, or if you are already working with your partner – whether there are changes you can make to improve your working
relationship.

April 23, 2023 Contracts in business and other important documents
One thing in business that can often come back to bite is not having the right legal/business documentation in place. We have back lawyer Samir Banga of Banga Legal to talk about some of the important legal documents you should have in place and why you should have them! We are talking contractor/employment agreements, privacy policy, loan documents and more. Do you know where your trust deed and company constitution is located? We also touch on some of the important policy documents you should have in place – in light of recent cyber breaches- do you have an IT policy? Do you employees know what they are allowed to use the work vehicle for? Having the right documents in place can ensure that all members of the team, customers and vendors know where things stand and how
you do business. It means that in a dispute you have a document to refer back to. This one is a must listen for all business owners, not just those whose documentation needs a little work.
