About this episode

How much does your ego hold back your company's growth? It might be more than you realize. You could stunt your company's potential without a commitment to ongoing learning and a clear intention to achieve your most significant ambitions.

We know a lot about running a business yet often fail to act on it. The reasons behind this are numerous, but as days, months, and years pass, the rapid changes in technology, compliance, and planning are closely tied to your company's ability to remain relevant. This hinges on the proactive steps you take to evaluate and adapt to the evolution of your organization.

In this episode, you'll hear about valuable life lessons that carry over into the business world, how to engage in meaningful conversations while balancing your thoughts and feelings, and the critical importance of asking tough questions about disruption (as it can arise from unexpected sources).

Your host, Jess Dewell, sits down withRohit Maini, the managing director at Apex Accountancy, to discuss the importance of being bold in the decisions you face today. He shares his journey of navigating company growth, both with and without the influence of his ego.
