Two Blokes One Business
How Being 'Coachable' Turned $20K Into A Multi-Million Dollar Business
When Harvey Rivers and Adam Powell launched their recruitment business from a kitchen table, they made a decision that seemed crazy at the time: investing $20,000 in sales training before they could even afford to pay themselves.
Today, that "risky" investment has helped transform their startup into an 8-person team working with Australia's biggest companies.
In this raw conversation, the lads reveal why most entrepreneurs stay stuck at $10-20K months, how they balanced free learning resources with high-level paid training, and the uncomfortable truth about scaling past your current identity.
Tune in to discover:
✅Why you don't need years of experience to scale (they had zero business background)
✅The strategic framework that turned "pure energy" into predictable growth
✅How to know when you're ready to invest in high-level training
✅The surprising connection between physical health and business performance
✅Why putting yourself in rooms where you feel completely out of your depth is the fastest path to growth
