A double guest interview this week. Brendon and Connor, co-founders of Nuago, describe themselves as a “born in cloud” company providing IT services to their customers. They’re obviously doing something right, ranking No.7 in the Australian CRN Fast 50 award.
Lots of gold in here if you’re building a business. We discuss:
1. Different isn’t always Better, but BETTER IS ALWAYS different
2. If you want to be a good IT provider, stop talking about WIDGETS and start getting into your customers’ WHY
3. The difference between working for someone and putting your HOUSE, LIVELIHOOD and FAMILY FUTURE on the line to start your own company
4. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT might not be talked about much anymore, but it’s important to your customers.
5. How do you keep your FINGER ON THE PULSE when your business is growing?
You can just tell from the conversation and the passion in their voices how much providing a great experience for the customers and their employees mean to them.
I think it’s easy for leaders to focus on other things from time-to-time, and even focusing too much on what you as a leader need….but I guarantee that if you look after your team and your customers, it will return dividends.
We reference a couple of authors in our conversation, some of whose books are available on my website.
Until next time….keep INNOVATING, OVERCOMING and PROSPERING

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
