About the show

My name is Nathan. I'm your friend who is curious about the business world. I believe the world is a better place when people innovate and build, which is why I love business. On this show, I interview guests to understand how to win in their line of expertise. I've slugged through the 9-5 jobs, then started my own businesses, and now decided to share experiences from local Australian legends in business, social media, acting, and sport with the hopes that they will inspire you to innovate and build what has been on your heart. Grab your bubble tea and join us in the bubble.
