559: How To Build A Billion Dollar Busin...

MELISSA AMBROSINI
About this episode

What does it take to transform a $15 million company into a staggering $2.1 billion success story? 


… Is it possible to grow a business that big and still have a positive impact on your employees, your community, and the world at large?


… And can you do all that without burning out?!


Meet Radek Sali, the entrepreneurial mastermind who transformed Swisse (Australia’s leading natural wellness company) from a $15 million venture into a staggering $2.1 billion success story. Not one to rest on his laurels, Radek has since gone on to have repeated success with other ventures, all of which are underpinned by a fierce commitment to social and environmental consciousness.


In this massively inspiring conversation, Radek shares the secrets of his phenomenal journey as an entrepreneur and master of reinvention. Tune in to hear: how he blends profit and purpose to achieve outsized success, his ground-breaking approach to creating a thriving workplace culture, how he used aspirational branding to change the game for Swisse, the often-overlooked art of customer retention, advice for developing a world-class entrepreneurial mindset, and insights from his book, “How to Build a Billion-Dollar Business”. 


Radek also gets candid about resilience, discussing his perspective on failure — including a highly memorable incident with Kim Kardashian. (You *have* to hear this story, it’s amazing.)


So, if you want to know how to build a wildly successful business, have a profound positive impact on the world, and avoid burnout while performing at your peak, then press play now... this one's for you.
