Hello and Happy New Year. Welcome to 2017 Episode 70 this being our 1st episode of the New year where we share BEST LESSONS FROM 2016.   Before we look forward I would like to take an opportunity to look back at all the interviews I did last year and thank my guests for sharing their stories & lessons learned. When I was reviewing last years episodes I noticed a common denominator emerging. In fact, there was an overwhelming 47% of entrepreneurs we interviewed spoke of this as their worst entrepreneurial moment!

  Flow Hive™ has established itself as a true Australian innovator, developing the most significant advance in beekeeping in over 150 years and running one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns to date. Going from nothing to US$12.2 million in pre-orders in just a few weeks is a unique scenario, and one which inspired inventive solutions from Stuart and his son Cedar who experimented for over 10 years to develop the product.   The pair, who knew barely anything about mass production or exporting, found themselves having to deal with the complexity of the US state by state Nexus system, VAT, duties and many pitfalls of international commerce.   With manufacturing operations now in Oregon, Portland and Brisbane, Australia and deliveries on their way to more than 140 countries in every corner of the globe, Stuarts story of innovation in design and business, while not without its challenges, will inspire all.
