“One of my favourite people in the small business world”
“Dan is an ace when it comes to following and reporting on the stories small businesses need to know and he is superb at distilling a Budget statement so founders can understand the essentials at pace. He’s also great as an event and podcast host as he has the mind of a journalist, i.e. constantly curious.
“Quite simply, one of my favourite people in the small business world.”
