Happy New Year all! Today I'm joined by Blair Mainwaring owner of Ocean Design here in Wellington. Blair has owned and run Ocean for the past 3 decades and talks us through some of the ups and downs of business and life.

Specifically, we discuss
+ Getting Started
+ Navigating change
+ Defining purpose and values
+ Choosing to live by purpose and values even when it is uncomfortable
+ and of course getting UNCOMFORTABLE
