Finding new heights with impactful entrepreneur Gidon Novick

If we want to succeed, we need to get comfortable with uncertainty. If we embrace that things are going to turn out differently to what we think, we can find opportunity and possibility within that, says impactful entrepreneur Gidon Novick, the guest of this episode of the Willing & Abel podcast. Gidon is the founder of LIFT, Kulula.com, Lucid Ventures and Circle Senior Living; former Chief Digital Officer at Discovery; chairman at SA Harvest, a food rescue and hunger relief organisation; and an incorrigible stray-dog rescuer. (He has seven.)

In a fascinating and energising conversation with host Mike Abel, Gidon shares the power of demonstrating our own authenticity to the world, why we should be curious in our leadership, and how choosing the right people to be around can give us the only guarantee in business and life.
