You cannot fail to be inspired by our guest this week, Ash Jardine. The owner of Bodyshop Recruit is a good friend of the show, having spoken to us about how his company helps body shops recruit talent from overseas, but we thought it was high time we heard the full story of what got him into that position.
Ash really got his hands dirty and went out on his own at the tender age of 20, opening a successful body shop. He built up and managed multiple successful shops, some of which operated at 200% efficiency. This man has achieved things that most of us can only dream of! Listen to the show to find out how he did it.
