Listen now
Description
What can be said about Big Review TV that hasn't already been summed up by the Australian Financial Review's article titled "The story behind Australia's worst accounting scandal?" Well turns out plenty! Join Emily and Dale for a special Big Con Origins Episode as we take Disco Lab's Victoria Beal through the Ill-fated Big Review TV, an almost-Australian-tech-unicorn, a 2017 stock market darling before transitioning into a cautionary tale of questionable accounting no longer to be heard of again. This is the wildest ride of the season, and we were in the passenger seats - strap in! 📕Show Menu - https://bit.ly/bcpshowmenu The Big Con Podcast: Emily and Dale dive into the wild world of business blunders and figure out where things went wrong (or right, but mostly wrong) and use the benefit of hindsight and a healthy dose of schadenfreude to look at where there was an impact on either their profit, their brand, or something much more dire. The Big Con examines the stories of businesses that refused to invest in strategy and where we can learn from their mistakes.
