This episode is all about roll-ups – and we're not talking about the fruit snacks you had in your lunch box as a kid. No, we're talking about rolling up SMBs. You know the playbook: Buy a bunch of small businesses, whack them together, take it public and make a tonne of money. I've been feeling the itch to do some rolling up myself. And this pod, I scratch that itch with the great Dr Glen Richards, Australia's king of the roll-up. You know Glen. He's the founder of Greencross Vets, a roll-up of vet clinics, and a chairman of Healthia, a health care roll-up. He's also a director of a bunch of companies, which I'll let him share with you. Glen's also a Shark… yep, you might also recognise him from his time as a panelist and investor on Shark Tank.Roll-ups might sound easy (and delicious) – but as Glen explains this episode, getting it right is actually harder than you think.Alright, let's get into it.Links:Keep up with Glen Richards on LinkedIn.Subscribe to Stark Naked Numbers on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you get your pods.

Today I'm speaking with Dr. Lindsay Evans about the important role our pets have played in helping us maintain good self-care and mental well-being practices and why compassionate, non-judgemental communication for both veterinarians and their clients -- especially when it comes to difficult diagnoses and financial matters -- is critical.

You may know Glen Richards better as a shark on Channel 10's Shark Tank Australia.  Returning for his second interview on the Think Big, Act Small podcast, we get further into Glen's back story, including how he transitioned from a practising vet to the managing director of Greencross Vets. This transition created more time and space in his life - as well as being a better leader and making better business decisions, he was also able to spend more time with his family. For this new season of the Think Big, Act Small podcast, that leadership transition will be a theme we dig deep in with many guests. Enjoy :) ___ Join me at TIME OUT!

If you're a fan of Australia's Shark Tank you'll know exactly who Glen Richards is, but do you know his story, and how he went from an outback kid growing up on a property in Western Queensland, to listing Greencross Vets on the Australian Stock Exchange?  He is a country boy at heart and as Glen put it, there's no room for arrogance or ego if you want to be a success in business.  Today Glen and I talk about: How his first business plan was developed on the Trans Siberian Train trip out of Moscow, with a group of Ukranian businessmen, drinking vodka for a full week.  How his initial business plan morphed from a single veterinarian practice in Townsville to a network of vet hospitals across Australia.  Masterminding and brainstorming with like-minded business people.   Benchmarking Listing on the ASX and why they didn't wait until everything was perfect.   Why it's impossible to know it all and why you need to know when and who to bring into your business. If you start to think you know it all, you're in trouble.  The Vision It's important to have a big vision and you need to have a real passion for what you're doing. You need to have a story worth following and when you do people can't help but follow. People want to be part of the journey.  Problem Solving When you're faced with a problem it can be very uplifting for you and the team when you solve it. There's always a way around a roadblock.  Reset You need to bring your team together for regular business resets. You need to work on critical issues that are important. You need to highlight your strengths and identify your weaknesses and use these projects to take your business forward.  You should do a business reset every 90-days and if you're in the tech industry it should be done every 30-days.  Competition You need to be aware of your competition and know what they're good at, so you can neutralise it, but don't get hung up on them or spend too much time watching them.  In the end, it's all about quality care and professional work, regardless of your industry and there are always going to be people saying you're doing something wrong.   Monday Morning Tip Do not turn on your computer when you first get to your desk. Before getting bogged down, spend some time making sure you know where you're going to focus your time today. You only have a certain amount of time and money, therefore apply it to the most important project first and prioritise your time. Put your time into your #1 thing.  Please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com if you have any questions about this episode.  It's No Secret Business Conference  On the 17th and 18th of August 2018.

We all know Dr Glen Richards as the founder of Greencross Vets, not to mention he is also one of the Sharks on the TV show “Shark Tank”. Glen’s entrepreneurial journey is inspiring and impressive and probably why we all know him so well. My conversation with Glen delves slightly from his conventional story. We start our chat taste testing a Monday Food Company pumpkin loaf, one of Glen’s portfolio companies, I had cooked the day before. This launches us into a conversation on where food is going, why we should be interested in our health and the price you pay for quality. Glen also delves into: what other investments he has that solve a problem surrounding food or nutrition; why he decided to join Shark Tank  - and Steve Baxter’s role in his decision; how he now uses his experience - successes and hard learnings – to benefit the next waive of CEOs and founders what life is like post Greencross. Thanks to Glen for giving up his time to come on the show and to Vmation for their fantastic filming as always.
