  • Episode 19 - Resilience and leadership in times of crisis with Kerwin Rae

    Over the last few years, if you have spent any time looking at business or personal development online, you are likely to have come across Kerwin Rae. His content around resilience, perspective and leadership during times of crisis, I personally have received value from. For many Founders and Investors, this is an important topic right now.   

    Kerwin and I have known each other for nearly 20 years and I asked him to join me to discuss these topics. During the interview, he talks about his recent experience of having to take a live physical event to online streaming (because of COVID-19), in the middle of it. We finish with an incredible story of when he unexpectedly had a gun intently pointed at his head by Ukrainian special forces.

  • Episode 16 - Entrepreneurship through Acquisition
    THE SEARCH FUND CONCEPT

    A search fund is an investment vehicle, which allows aspiring entrepreneurs the opportunity to search for, acquire, manage and grow a company. The search fund concept originated in 1984 in the US and has become increasingly well known among business schools and private investors.

    AUSTRALIAN SEARCHERS

    Entrepreneurship is not just about startup or developing the next best app or product. It’s also about growing value by thinking differently in any business, including one that you buy.

    In Australia there is a unique opportunity, the estimated market value of businesses with baby-boomer owners that will need to change hands in the decade is ~$3.5 trillion. This is a massive shift in control and value which will impact the prosperity of the Australian economy (Dr Richard Schrapnel, Pitcher Partners (2014)).

    ABOUT SECOND SQUARED

  • Episode 14 - Steve Fanale, Founding CEO, Drive Yello

    Steve Fanale, now onto his biggest challenge yet, drops in on the podcast and discusses how previously being an athlete and veteran founder has set him on the road to success.

    About Drive Yello

    Yello focuses on providing services and software that will revolutionise how drivers in last mile delivery are sourced, managed and paid. Our aim is to build a business here in Australia with the aim of raising funds to take our platform to the ever-growing global last mile delivery market.

    About Steve Fanale

    Steve began his career in the interactive and digital media industry in 1997. After initially working in senior exec roles at Young & Rubicam and APL Digital he decided to take the plunge and start up his own interactive agency, MassMedia Studios, in 2000.


    MassMedia Studios was an Australian leader in the provision of digital and interactive services and moved on to the international stage when he opened offices in London and New York in 2006, and grew the team to more than fifty employees with global brands like Audi, Cadbury, Unilever, Diageo, Vue Entertainment and Yahoo!7 on its key client list.

    Early on it became apparent that a digital agency's success could be enhanced with the inclusion of a product offering. So in 2003 work begun on the development of Traction, a relationship marketing platform that helps brands interact, learn and effectively target their customers across all marketing channels. Highly regarded across the digital marketing industry, Traction has grown into a global platform with clients across North America, Europe and Asia.

    In 2007 MassMedia and Traction were sold to the publicly listed BlueFreeway group. During his time within the group, Steve was asked to move into an interim COO role to improve the groupʼs internal processes and stabilise its financial position. With new investment in the group and solid strategy for long-term growth in place at BlueFreeway, Steve then returned to MassMedia to manage a very successful phase of the business within the IPMG Group.

    In 2010 Steve left the business to take some time off but his interest in digital innovation brought him back into the world of apps in 2012. As the founder and creator of AppVillage, Steve believed he had developed an incubation model to meet the needs of innovators, designers, developers, investors and consumers who love being part of the app world.

    In 2014 founded Drive Yello which drew him back into building enterprise platforms for global businesses again.
