Our guest on this week’s edition of Real Estate Renovators is our old mate, Bill Nikolouzakis.

Bill has started several businesses over the past 12 months, and he shares the sorts of things he tells other small business owners in his role as a growth consultant and keynote speaker.

He has some really valuable insights into improving customer service and engagement and using technology to work smarter.

The discussion takes a turn as Bill opens up to Rex and Chanell about his experiences with anxiety and depression, and he offers what may be even more valuable advice to anyone who’s going through a hard time: just as he advocates enlisting professional expertise to take your business to the next level, he says everybody should be open to accessing professional mental health counselling and business owners and principals should be prepared to encourage and facilitate that sort of support for their employees, too.
