Author: Isaac Harrison November 14, 2024 Duration: 31:04

This episode was such a pleasant surprise. Petina Tieman, a highly respected coach and mentor, celebrated for her holistic approach to personal and business growth. A First Nation's woman from Tasmania, Petina outlines super practical framework for building economies in some of Australia’s most remote communities.

Petina specialises in working with Indigenous businesses, copreneurs (couples or families who run businesses together), and small enterprises looking to overcome challenges and grow sustainably. Listen in to explore the unique struggles, strategies, and solutions that Petina brings to her clients, empowering them to build resilient, thriving businesses.
