In this week's episode, I’m joined by Mitch Hahn, the captain of Team GB football team, who made an unexpected transition into the world of accountancy following his time as a professional footballer.

Mitch recounts his accidental journey into accountancy, where he began working with Mark Norden, his boss and mentor who helped him unlock his full potential.

He ultimately rose through the ranks, becoming the CEO of Nordens and has transformed the company into more than just an accountancy practice, driving a focus on helping businesses and owners achieve their potential.

We also discuss how Mitch made himself indispensable to the company, his approach to hiring people, his leadership style that empowers his staff, and how he completed changed the company’s core values.

This conversation covers a wide range of topics, from Mitch’s early ambitions as a young footballer to his deep passion for helping others succeed. Mitch’s story is inspirational and a testament to the value of hard work and taking action.
