   The Genius Behind The $100M Beauty Empire

   Guy Nappa didn't set out to build a $100M empire. He started packing boxes in his family's warehouse during school holidays. Today he's the COO and Co-Owner of Oz Hair & Beauty - 30 stores, $100M in revenue, and Australia's #1 e-commerce executive two years running. In this episode Guy unpacks the unglamorous side of scaling fast. The systems that saved them. The mistakes that cost them. The nights things went catastrophically wrong. And the mindset of three brothers who built something extraordinary together without losing the family along the way. Honest, specific and packed with lessons for any founder in the middle of building.
