  • Shark Tank’s Andrew Banks on building a $900M empire | #1
    On today’s show, how failed actor Andrew Banks came to starting two of the
    world’s largest recruitment companies, then found his way back to the small screen
    as one of the original sharks on the hit series Shark Tank .
    Andrew Banks started two of Australia's largest companies in the recruitment and
    HR industry. He took recruitment company Morgan & Banks just shy of one billion
    dollars in sales, and Talent 2, a business-process outsourcing business which he
    grew to four hundred million dollars in sales.
    These days Andrew is the Resident Entrepreneur at Sydney’s Tank Stream Labs ,
    part of the largest start-up hub in Australia, plus he’s an active investor in over
    twenty start-ups including a non-alcoholic range of spirits, and an online learning
    tool for kids.
    There’s a lot to love about Andrew Banks. His heart-felt passion for helping
    business owners (just like you) succeed across all aspects of your business quickly
    becomes evident during this very generous chat, as he shares his tips and insights
    on how to build an empire, to creating a culture that attracts and retains great
    people, to growth hacks that you can implement immediately, as well as his
    thoughts on the (often difficult to attain) work / life balance.
    “Money is not the goal of a good business. Money is the outcome. Don’t go into
    business just to make money, because that’s just not good enough. You’ve got to
    have a good purpose, a good business model, satisfy needs ... and the money will
    come.” - Andrew Banks

  • Introducing Idea Exchange | #0
    Welcome to Season 1 of a brand new podcast called Idea Exchange, powered by
    American Express and hosted by Tim Reid.
    Each week Tim hits the road and introduces you to some of the most amazing
    Australian business founders, each of whom have found the courage and tenacity to
    turn a big idea into an even bigger empire.
    But don’t expect ordinary conversations with these amazing humans.
    Instead, you’ll be privy to the highs and lows of running multi-million dollar
    businesses, some which employ thousands of staff, others, just a handful. They’ll
    talk candidly about their work/life balance, share their most effective growth
    strategies, and how they’ve built incredible cultures to attract and retain great talent.
    You’ll meet Andrew Banks who built two of Australia's largest recruitment
    companies to an annual turnover just shy of one billion dollars.
    Then there’s Mountain Bike Direct’s Jen Geale who (along with her hubby and two
    mates) runs an 8-figure eCommerce business from her home on the Gold Coast.
    We go behind-the-scenes with Daniel Flynn, the founder of the Thankyou Group,
    who turned an impossible idea of selling bottled water to help end the world water
    crisis into one of Australia's fastest growing FMCG businesses.
    And we catch up with Australia’s cosmetics queen, Kate Morris, who’s Adore
    Beauty business is about to turn over $100M in annual sales after borrowing
    $12,000 from her boyfriend's parents.
    Other guests in Season 1 of the Idea Exchange podcast include Kikki-K’s Kristina
    Karlson, ShowPo’s Jane Lu, Platinum Electricians Joshua Nichols and Tradie’s
