Shane Bradley - One of New Zealand’s most successful business owners

Shane Bradley is one of New Zealand’s most successful business owners.

The full number of businesses he’s started and sold are too long to list here; but he’s been the brains behind Finda, Sella, Grab One, Neighbourly, Pet.co.nz, Pet Direct and many more.

And his journey to the top has been one hell of a ride.

In this episode we talk about dropping out of school in sixth form, how he created a business with 50 employees at the age of 22 and the lessons learned from its failure, 100-hour work weeks, the stunning success of GrabOne, walking away from it all to compete in Ironman, and all the best stories from a life time of starting and selling businesses.

This is the first time Shane has shared his story in full and we cover some emotional ground too. Shane shares details of his eating disorder, his mental health struggles and the devastating blow of recently losing his dog, Cooper.

This was such a cool chat, full of industry-leading insights on business, tips on balancing family and business and how he's succeeded by living life at pace.

You’ll love this one.
