Human Business with Sam White

Freedom Groupwww.spreaker.com
Founder of Freedom Services Group and Stella Insurance Australia (Chair and CEO respectively).

I set up my first business at 24 and it's been a wild ride since. On track for the best years trading, I've ever had and can only attribute this to a change in culture and approach.

I love business and people in equal measure and genuinely believe that the right kind of businesses can change the World - Something we absolutely need more of.

Also passionate about building businesses and products to be more centred around the Female experience and empowering other women to do the same.

Hopefully, some of the stuff I share strikes a chord for others too!
