#81 - Andrew Nunn, SA's Chief Entrepreneur on building one of Australia's largest environmental consulting firms and his secrets to scaling
On today’s show, We discussed so many of the intricacies of being a business owner, entrepreneur, and leader, then coupled it with his insights and experiences along the way, and how he grew and scaled his business JBS&G. Like everyone else, Andrew went through all the teething problems of growing a business but maintained his position to continually treat people with respect and dignity, which he believes enabled good things to happen.
Andrew also provided some insight around:
- How he built one of Australia's largest privately held environmental consulting companies
- The one mistake he made in his business growth trajectory
- The most transformational business decision he made
- His plans for the Chief Entrepreneur role and why we need to grow South Australia's investable companies
