This week’s key takeaway:
How being curious and looking after people will lead to your
success
Episode intro:
Our guest this week was the superstar of Paint & Panel Live,
Mr David Shepherd. His keynote address wowed everybody in the room,
so we thought we’d get him on the show to give you the chance to
learn from one of the best.
David started in the industry as a panel beater in the UK,
before eventually building up one of the biggest collision-repair
businesses in the country (which he sold for a tidy £11m). This man
can inspire you to do great things!
