In this episode #123 w David Shein, learn about:
David’s memories of growing up in South Africa during a divided time for the country, the influences of his father, a businessman and mother, a piano teacher — and his 2 older brothers.
I asked Dave about his move to Australia in the 80’s or “gods country” as he calls it. You may be aware that he founded ComTech, Australia’s first unicorn but what you may not know is the story behind this, especially having a young family and being new in Australia.
Dave was candid about his biggest regret, how’s he made career decisions, the meaning of success, how he’s managed to build a knack of understanding people quickly and maintaining high quality relationships with leaders in business, sport, politics and more.
And I couldn’t release this episode without asking Dave some of the hard questions about his fund, OIF, best in class investor relationships, and his unfiltered advice to founders in this uncertain climate.
It’s now time to explore your curiosity. Please enjoy!
