In this our first episode, we talk with the founder of WA Leaders, Rupen Kotecha. 

Rupen talks about his early upbringing in Kenya, his move to Wales for university, then working in London, before ending up in Western Australia where he founded the CFO Centre, and then WA Leaders. 

"The entrepreneur spirit I've seen here in WA is amazing because WA goes through feast and famine, it's got these cycles, but the business owners are making it through those ups and downs. They've got the grit to get through it. It's pretty amazing to see it." ~ Rupen Kotecha.

In this our second episode, we talk with the founder of A Guy I Know, Graham Hall.

Originally from the UK, he set up a business in Western Australian that helps organisations deliver training that (actually!) engages staff. In a fun talk through his life and work, Graham's infectious enthusiasm shines through.

"So at 4 o clock in the morning, in Joondalup, if anyone's on the road, be careful because there is a middle aged man with an electric skateboard with light, hooning, carving across the road, and it is amazing and I love it, and that is every morning, I literally have that thrill, I love it." ~ Graham Hall.

Graham Hall, A Guy I Know

Originally from Germany, Andreas moved to Perth for a year off between school and uni, finally moving to WA in 2011. After working in financial advisory, he set up his own business, 3D Wealth, four years ago.

He likes to work with younger clients, as they have more time to build up their wealth. Although, of course, he’ll work with anyone looking to set themselves up. There is a growing shortage of financial advisors in Australia, due to harder rules around who can be a financial advisor.

“The biggest mistake people make is living above their means and trying to keep up with the Joneses. Wealthy people don’t show wealth. They drive the boring cars.”
