Jenny Morel interviews entrepreneurs building tech & other high growth companies going global from New Zealand and Australia. Growing businesses is hard work. Everyone has setbacks. The entrepreneurs who grow companies are a relentlessly positive group of people: they are going to succeed no matter what. They are risk-takers, they work crazy hours, they are obsessive. Much of the time they are embattled. Every now and then there is a wonderful breakthrough. These podcasts share with you some of these stories - the excitement and the challenges of building businesses. And they show the wonderful variety of exciting new businesses being built from Australia and New Zealand. At the MORGO annual retreats, these people building tech and other high growth companies going global get together to share experiences and learn from each other. They're an annual re-charge.
