Founder Interview: Gen George, One Shift.

Gen George is pretty bloody awesome, she is young but has the focus of someone that has been in the game a very long time. What I think impressed me most about this interview was how on top of everything she is when it comes to her business One Shift. Her understanding of the industry and trends is impressive, calculated and very eye opening. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did filming it.

How did this happen – how did I get to this null and void place in my life were I so lazily had become ‘content’! At what point had I let go of all my dreams and passions to wallow be drowning in this self centred (and clearly obvious to those around me) wallowing pit of cContentment!
