Episode 10: Authenticity, in and out of the Boardroom

One of the biggest challenges that entrepreneurs face is authenticity, not least of all in the boardroom. This is a topic that my guest today knows all too well.

Ronsley Vaz is the founder of the award winning Amplify agency, author of Amplify: Raise Your Voice, Boost Your Brand and Grow Your Business, and host of Bond Appetit - Australia’s #1 food podcast. He’s also the creator of the We Are Podcast conference - the largest podcast conference in the Southern Hemisphere. And throughout his illustrious journey, one of his biggest learning curves has been confronting himself in difficult situations.

Top 3 quotes:

1. "That is what’s fascinating now about about business - that everyday I find out how much I don’t know".
2. "Every time I’m exposed to someone, I learn more about myself".
3. "Be yourself so much that people want to hang out with you and appreciate you for who you are, then you don’t have to impress anyone".
