Conversations about running a business
Business stories are usually cleaned up by the time they are told publicly. The difficult decisions, wrong turns and pressure behind the result often disappear.
Queensland Business Stories takes a more useful approach. Chris speaks with one Queensland business leader at a time about where they started, what changed as the business grew and what they learned when things did not go to plan.
One guest at a time
Enough space to understand the person and the business.
Plain questions
A direct conversation rather than a formal presentation.
No product pitch
The conversation stays focused on the guest and their experience.
