Episode 82 of The Icehouse podcast, hosted by Bryar Stewart, is with Hamish Gordon, Owner Manager Programme 34 Alumni and CEO of Global Endeavours Group.
For Hamish, the end goal was set from the beginning – to always build New Zealand brands and products and sell them to the world. Hamish unpacks his journey of becoming a business owner, starting with Natural Sugars and 13 years later, having built 5 businesses in the sugar, drink and food commodities industry.
His passion, drive and resilience is evident as Hamish discusses advice for budding business owners, his highlights and challenges, his experience on The Icehouse Owner Manager Programme, key takeaways and the importance of working on and not in the business.
Hamish has focused on building strong leadership teams, trusting the leaders in his businesses and touches on the grit it takes to get back up again when things get hard.
It’s an empowering conversation for owners in their first years or 10, 20 years into running a business.
