Glen is an investor on Shark Tank Australia, Non-Executive Director of Greencross Ltd and Non-Executive Director of 1300 Smiles.In this episode we cover politics and Glen's view on the current political climate, what it took to push through particularly hard financial times in the early days, how he survived as CEO in a company where his CFO wanted him fired, his work as an investor, avoiding entrepreneurial seizures and how he got on Shark Tank Australia.Glen was one of the most humble people I have met and it was truly an enjoyable conversation.He is particularly candid on how he 'pushed' through some very difficult times in his career. A fascinating man, I hope you enjoy this discussion.My Favourite Quotes from the episode are:"The epiphany I had as CEO was that I didn't have to know everything and that caused almost an overnight change""Performance equals freedom""You have to have some self doubt so you ask yourself some questions which helps to derisk your business as you go forward"
