This week's key takeaway: Pulling back the curtain on Sherwin-Williams ANZ with Richard Reneman

Episode intro: Something a bit different this week, as Ben takes a trip out of the studio to a top-of-the-range facility and speaks to Richard Reneman: director of Sherwin-Williams ANZ.

Based down in Kincumber, the Sherwin-Williams site boasts a state-of-the art paint-mixing room and some top training and manufacturing facilities. Ben picked Richard's brains about the success of the business, and why now is the time for Sherwin-Williams to announce themselves to the world.

In this week's episode you will learn:

• How Sherwin-Williams got a foothold in Australia
• What Richard learned as a distributor
• The sub-brands in the Sherwin-Williams family
• Why core values are more important than products
• Sherwin-Williams' new products that require no prior industry knowledge to operate
• How to make employees feel part of something rather than simply being 'workers'
• Why every employee should be viewed as equally important
• Where Sherwin-Williams is going next
