This is a podcast where I talk to my guests about their journey to success. We talk about their education, experience, current business, and future endeavours. A feature length episode with Glenn Hopper who is Chief Financial Officer at Sandline. Glenn is not your normal CFO, he started his passion in writing as a journalist and fiction writer. Listen to Glenn’s transition to business which is fascinating. Glenn then spent time in corporate finance before moving into setting up start-ups. Glenn’s passion for business is based on processes and systems which drive success in business. It is often thought of as unsexy, but it is critical if you want to scale a business. Glenn was a great guest and I hope you enjoy the podcast! 2.49 – What is a business mindset mean to you? 5.35 - First passion to write fiction 6.28 – Pivoted into journalism in the Navy 7.23 – Got married and went to business school 9.30 – Interesting transition to business 11.44 – Move into financial roles 15.22 – Roles in start-ups 20.21 – The importance of back office to start-ups 25.48 – Build in the start-up phase 27.35 – When do you need to shut up a business 32.49 – Systemisation of a business 39.20 – Scaling businesses 44.01 – Buying businesses 46.05 – Quick fire questions Support the show |
