From humble beginnings in a garage in Adelaide in 2011, to
10 years of incredible growth and growing a tribe of over
500,000 wine loving customers around the world, Justin
shares the adventure. But at the heart of this journey of growth
is a company built on the idea of creating a human brand.
Justin believes that everyone can learn how to build an
incredible brand and in this keynote he shares his top tips and
tricks to not losing sight of that brand throughout growth.
The story of Vinomofo is truly impressive and the audience
will take away real action items that they can implement into
their business and companies. Whether you’re an employee
or a business owner, you will be richer in knowledge from
listening to Justin share this journey.
One aspect of growth within a business that is not often
talked about is what happens when the big guys not only
start paying attention to you, but take it a step further and try
to ruin your business. Small businesses are so often targeted
by their competition and that can be really intimidating.
Justin is passionate about lifting the lid on this topic and
sharing how he guided his company through this exact
scenario. Instead of burying his head in the sand, he stood
tall and faced big guys head on – and not to spoil the ending
– but he won!
This keynote is aimed directly at entrepreneurs or people that
want to be an entrepreneur in the future. We all know that
owning a business can sometimes look glamorous and
appear easier than it really is. Well Justin is here to share the
ups, downs and sideways of building a business and
becoming an Entrepreneur.
In this raw and honest keynote, he will explore the challenges
(and unglamorous side of owning your business), as well as
the setbacks and true failures that he has faced along his journey.
But more importantly, he will explore why resilience is
required to overcome those challenges and always keep
moving forward. This particular keynote is aspirational but
also allows the audience to see a path forward for themselves.
In this keynote, Justin shares the journey from a 10-year-old
entrepreneur to the Founder and CEO of a Global Wine
Powerhouse. There have been many ups and downs along
the way and Justin shares it all, not leaving out the hard parts
and challenges he has faced.
It’s very rare that a successful entrepreneur is open and
honest about the journey and allows the audience to
understand not only the wins but also the losses.
The audience will leave this keynote with a greater
appreciation for the Entrepreneurial journey and lessons that
they can apply to their own businesses or companies.
