In this episode we are joined by Shaz Ahmed, ex-banker, business owner and property finance specialist. He’ll be talking today, for the first time, about the significant uphill battle of launching a new restaurant just before Covid and becoming a mortgage broker at the same time. Plus dealing with the complexities of working with family and navigating differing opinions in business partnerships.
