Description
Small Business Stories with Big Impact. If our walls could talk. Well, now, in a way, they can! We’re proud to announce the launch of Big Fish Stories – a podcast about small business stories, their characters and the big impact they have on the world around them. As lawyers we’ve had front row seats to some award-winning concepts and Hollywood-style drama. We’d like to give you the inside scoop on some of the stories you might have read about, and introduce you to other stories which you really should have. Join us as we sit down with proudly South African entrepreneurs and dive into their journeys to explore some of the challenges and opportunities faced by local businesses, and unpack the stories that every dinner table in the country should be talking about.
