5 questions & 5 answers forms the conclusion of each podcast I host. Right here, you are seeing it as a preview to the full episode featured on my channel. If you enjoy this, then you need to tune into the full version to hear the story of my guest's personal journey. Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant's performance specialist Tim Grover once said "interested people watch OBSESSED people change the world", & I love that quote. Simply put, Sydney based entrepreneur Jade Spooner is obsessed with building businesses from the ground up. Reaching the prestigious acclaim of Forbes' 30 under 30 is something very few in business will ever achieve but many dream of. Jade alongside her 'Equalution' co-founder achieved the mighty feat through utter self belief & 8 years of hard work. Yet at the height of it all with her future mapped out in front of her very eyes, she felt uninspired & unfulfilled. She described the feeling of 'loneliness' as she realised she had been existing for business & ceasing to truly live. Selling her 50% stake in Equalution & going on a quest of self discovery, Jade found new passion for business in the form of a new start up: 'Big Uppetite', alongside a new co-founder & a refreshed outlook on life. Jade is on the pursuit of happiness. Understanding that true success for her is far greater than Forbes lists, it is shared moments with loved ones & life rich with experience. She really is a lovely human, with a kind heart, formidable work ethic that demands respect & love for serving others through the knowledge she has acquired.
