The EO Business Podcast for APAC

Nathan was one of the first podcasters I listened to and was very much an inspiration for the EO podcast,

He's interviewed all the hard to reach entrepreneurs. (Mark Cuban, Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss, Tony Robbins, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John & many more). Unlike most podcast interview series Nathan Chan literally started from knowing nothing. He was just an average guy working in a 9-5 job he utterly hated. He knew nothing about entrepreneurship, nothing about startups, nothing about marketing, and nothing about online or how to build a business.

So from launching Foundr Magazine he’s gone out and spoken to some of the most successful entrepreneurs and in doing so moved through Melbourne EO to YPO.

From rags to riches to rags then riches. Naraya (Nara) Sulisto openly shares his very interesting journey of getting the rights to a remote Indonesian Coal Mine in the mid naughties and how he manages to commercialise the venture successfully for several years. 

Political winds, business partners, investments and times change though and Naraya turns back EO to help support him through these times.

Naraya has been a member of EO since 2006 and has previously been the president of EO Jakarta and currently serves on the APAC Regional Board.

On forum retreat, Simon receives a letter that he has asked her to write as part of an exercise. The letter is a massive shock when Simon realises he's not the family man that he wanted to be. This event, about 5 years ago, becomes an inflection point for Simon to change life direction.

Fast forward to 2021, Simon has exited his business and has his family life back in balance. Family Vision was set up about 18 months ago with its' purpose to help other EO'ers, YPO'ers and founders get their families back in balance.

Have you heard the term non-destructive excavations? Well me neither before this interview but Kim's business NDEA is a leading supplier of this service to Tier 1 construction companies all over NSW.
