Jo Lynch sat down with Don Reid from The Yard - Central, Wanaka. Don tells us about life at The Yard, his approach to leadership, marketing and managing a team of young people. Don’s approach to business is based on logic, fun and being a good bugger. Listen in to hear how you too can master the art of happy staff and the 4-day work week! This roving conversation meanders from his upbringing in Rotorua, to work with the Outdoor Pursuits Centre (OPC), to ski shops in London and on to life in Wanaka and the West Coast. Don has an affinity with his Rotorua roots, in particular the humour, Maori culture and the boys back home. When he is not at The Yard you’ll find Don sailing on the lake, practising his Te Reo or on an adventure in the hills. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Don Reid.
