Enable Me to The Next Level with Jono Bredin

So let's get back to sort of EnableMe then.

So you came on board 18 months ago.

Tell me a little bit about that journey.

And then I say, you picked up the phone.

We'd been talking already about your accounting practice under Dunedin.

And then you said, hey, look, I think EOS could be perfect for EnableMe.

Tell me a little about that journey and what's happened in the last 18 months.

Yeah,

so I guess EnableMe has been around for the last 14, 15 years.

And obviously it's the brainchild of Hannah McQueen, who's an amazing human and has revolutionized the way Kiwis think about their finances.

And she approached me a while ago and really could see the value in having somebody to run alongside her and help her with some of the heavy lifting so she could focus on what she wanted to focus on.

And I guess that's what really brought EOS to the front of my mind in terms of a tool that we could use in our business to take us to that next level because EOS, I wanted to be able to harness the absolute best of Hannah, which is the visionary, which is all the funny ideas and running at pace and actually organize that in a way that wasn't causing, with respect, a whole lot of hassle and havoc within the wider business.

So we just needed a way that we could do what we're already doing, but do it in a considered way and with a little bit of a blueprint so we didn't feel like we were flying by the seat of the pants.

Yeah.

I mean, Hannah is an amazing lady.

And those of you who've heard her, I mean, she really is inspirational.

She's got amazing ideas.

She created this whole thing from scratch and has done an amazing job.

But she is your typical visionary, isn't it? We talk about a visionary being somebody who has the great big ideas, always looking for the next thing, tends to be a little bit disruptive in the business just in terms of because they work at pace and they have all these ideas, they can throw them into the business and the business runs around trying to execute on them all and loses focus.

And I think that Hannah is definitely, she has created everything.

She'll take it to the next level.

But there was an element of that.

Where's the focus in the business?

yeah and it was and it was just a case of having somebody to share the burden right I
