Formerly known as Beat The Q, the app has processed over 30 million transactions and has over 600,000 users - truly disrupting the Australian hospitality market. He's now doing it all over again with Ordermentum, an app that's revolutionising the supply-chain side of the industry. But all this didn't come without sacrifices or challenges.

Learn how you too can become customer-centric to really bring out the success of small businesses in this episode with Adam. He covers all things from external agency hires, the focuses for all startups, the power of utilising a CTO or technical specialists, feedback loops from customers and teams by testing and more testing, and scaling down successful strategies from corporations into your SMB.

This is so awesome, so helpful, and so fresh. Right from the get-go, the team at The Entourage have brought out the big names in the Aussie entrepreneur and business space to have conversations that every business owner should listen to. I can't wait to see who they bring on next.

Loved the episode with Tim Fung, Airtasker CEO! You guys are getting some awesome guests in! Thank you!

Entourage on point again!

Adz Rodger

Great content again from The Entourage! Particularly like the 1st episode and the points Tim Fung made about making sure you make time to map out the future and don't get stuck on day to day 'work', as well as the observation that you really need to be strategic about your people management and not just try to save money. Two awesome take homes I have already taken action on!

For entrepreneurs and non-trepeneurs alike

Well this was one of the best things I’ve heard in a while. I’m by no means the target demographic, having zero business or entrepreneurial experience at all. Luckily the advice given for business growth and success is remarkably applicable to personal growth and success. Loved the conversational style, by the end of the podcast I felt like I knew both Tims personally, which is a great mark of engagement. And I loved hearing about the humble beginnings of Airtasker from the founder himself. Give this a listen if you’re craving a bit of personal or professional inspiration.
