Trade Me & Xero’s Rowan Simpson Picks Apart Our Business

Is your business a pet or livestock? Rowan Simpson, employee #3 at Trade Me and an early Xero investor, sits down with Steve, Seamus and business coach Di Foster to pick apart the business behind Between Two Beers. What’s really holding it back, where it could grow, and what should we stop doing? Rowan covers constraints, the three engines every business runs on, the AI hire great teams will soon make, thinking beyond New Zealand, the three ways to get paid, and why deciding really means saying no. Rowan is the author of How to be Wrong: a crash course in startup success, and was the first investor in Vend.
