We left our 9-5s to go all in on Between Two Beers – and thought it would be interesting to document our journey.</p><p><br></p><p>Last year we started working with a business and mindset coach Di Foster, who you might remember as a guest on the podcast and quickly realized she was the perfect foil to help them work through all the highs and lows of being a business owner. We recorded 12 episodes of Accidental Business Owners – and this was our last recording of 2024.</p><p><br></p><p>It was recorded on a Saturday morning in mid-December – the day after a half-day strategic meeting with Di and our accountant Matt Hinton - at the end after our busiest week of the year. So it’s fair to say tensions and emotions were delicately poised – as we tried to chart a path to success in 2025 across our podcast, <a href=\"www.b2bspeakers.co.nz\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">B2B Speakers</a> and <a href=\"www.b2bspeakers.co.nz/reflections\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">B2B Reflections</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is a bit of a ride, and pretty raw, but we’re really excited to show more of what’s happening behind the scenes with us in 2025.</p><p><br></p><p>Hang in there for Di’s big serve at the end, when she thought the mics were off.</p><p><br></p><p>Enjoy.</p>","author_name":"Steven Holloway & Seamus Marten"}
