The challenges of balancing client advising with business management have been a crucible for valuable lessons in recruitment and consistent process implementation.
In our insightful conversation, Joe shares the importance of aligning team members with the company's culture, especially in remote work settings, and the crucial role of sound decision-making processes. His story is a testament to the power of family values in business, blending his father's prudent financial principles with his drive for growth.

You can get in touch with Kevin here:
Most founders I speak to feel busy but stuck; plenty happening, but not always clear on what genuinely matters most this quarter. If that’s you, the G90 Summit is worth a look. A structured half-day where we work through everything competing for your attention, get clear on the three to five things that must happen in the next 90 days, then commit to them and build the system to make sure they actually happen. Quarterly, virtual, £97 a seat.
