The Flight Path Podcast

In today's episode, Tom sat down with Rowan Kunz, CEO and Founder of Art of Smart Education, a Sydney based campus who have had thousands of students come through their doors. Rowan and the team at Art of Smart have also become the winner of the 2022 Semrush AU Search Awards, so bringing the mind behind this wonderful business on the show seemed like a brilliant way to gain a deep insight into search and social domination.

Throughout this podcast, Rowan gave advice to all ages ranging from the details of starting and scaling a business, through to his experience as an importer, author and software startup founder. Rowan's done it all.

We'd love to know what you think! I'm sure Rowan would too.
