I’m Nick, founder and host of Behind the Scale. Over 13 years I built a business to $148M and a team of 4,500 people across 7 countries. I still own it, but these days a great CEO runs it day to day. It took me longer than I’d like to admit to get there. I had a CEO for five years and was still working 50+ hours a week. What I eventually worked out is that the business didn’t need more of my time. It needed better decisions. Now I write and talk about everything that comes with building a business. Leadership, founder freedom, wealth outside the business, exits and what comes next. Based on the Gold Coast, Australia.
