The Happy Investor – Details, episodes & analysis

Today I'm joined by Matt Hall, whose first business was managing his own band when he realised he could do it better than his former manager! This incredible journey led him to become a business coach and strategist and to have multiple successful launches. What does this all mean? How did he do it? In this brilliant conversation Matt breaks it all down for us and we learn about the importance of mentorship, his top tips on visibility strategies, how to do a successful launch, how to network and build relationships in business, and how we can all get him to sing on stage at his next event!
