  • S2 E9 | Mark Jenkins - I believe in you

    In today's episode we chat with Mark Jenkins who has been in the accounting industry for 35 years, with over 20 years in Public Practice with the majority of that time as sole Director of Quay Accountants in the sunshine capital of NZ - Whakatane.

    In 2014, he sold his firm so that he could focus on his true passion - helping accountants to accelerate small business success.

    Mark joined forces with Viv Brownrigg, and together they founded The Gap, enabling Accounting firms throughout NZ, Australia and the UK to build recurring Business Advisory revenue.


    We talked about Mark's journey, starting with his first introduction to tax at just 10 years old, his personal why that drives him, imposter syndrome and his view of the future of accountancy, and much more! Mark also shares some great insights to marketing that are key for all business owners.

  • S2 E2 | Shelley Bosworth - Get out of your head and out of your own way!

    In today's episode we chat with Shelley Bosworth, who is straight talking action drive Business Mindset Coach helping women in business get out of their heads and out of their own way to achieve their goals both personally and professionally.

    With a 25 year corporate career behind her she understand the reality of life, her own story is indeed a rollercoaster but her mindset has been the key to resiliently bouncing back, keeping going and building the business she now proudly runs. Shelley is passionate about helping others understand the power of their mindset so that they take action rather than simply wishing, hoping and berating themselves for not moving forward.

    We talk about Shelley's journey from corporate to business owner, redefining success, and what success means to Shelley, remembering what we're doing it all for.

    And it wouldn't be a conversation with Shelley without talking about mindset! We also talked a lot about confidence and courage and how they really go hand in hand.
