This episode of The Australian Investors Podcast features Jamie Nemtsas, founder of The Inside Network and partner of Wattle Partners financial planning. You can listen and subscribe to The Australian Investors Podcast, Australia’s top investing podcast for private and professional stock market investors on iTunes, Spotify, Castbox & YouTube.

Jamie and I met at the start of COVID, in early 2020, after he reached out to me when the Rask business faced its biggest-ever challenge. He and his partner Drew, who’s been on the show before, were vital in supporting Rask and giving us a second chance at success.

Jamie’s professional background is unlike any other I’ve come across. He grew up on a farm growing fruit and within a few years, found himself running a financial planning firm at a young age. He then went on to take control of a very successful global events business, and seeded an agriculture company that listed on the ASX. Most recently, through The Inside Network, Jamie established one of Australia’s fastest-growing events businesses, specialising in high quality investments and finance.

In the next 60 minutes, Jamie and I talk about building businesses, selling businesses, managers versus directors, financial advice, IPOs and what it takes to succeed in events, PR and financial planning. I’m all but certain this will be the first conversation of many with Jamie Nemtsas of The Inside Network and Wattle Partners.

If you want to recommend some future guests or give me advice, say g’day on Twitter.
