I met today’s guest at a networking lunch a little while ago, and right then and there, I knew her story would inspire my listeners. She has experienced incredible highs and devastating lows in her personal and professional lives. And in those times of adversity, Joanne has not given up and has founded over 17 companies throughout her career. Today, Joanne shares some of her life's incredibly personal and challenging times, and I thank her for being so open and honest. Tune in to hear about:

• Growing up with an old-school father who relocated her family and brought some businesses along the way.

• Unable to attend university, how she cracked into the male-dominated accounting profession and gained confidence in doing so.

• A devastating accident that revealed a hidden secret.

• How it has taken 20 years for Joanne to talk openly about her story.

• How she faced the daunting task of liquidating her own $30 million business.

Today, Joanne is a business resilience coach, professional speaker, panellist, and emcee who focuses on guiding women to create sustainable and adaptable businesses that can thrive in any environment. You can visit her via the links below to support and follow her work.
