Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live in the regions? Because of the gift of COVID, many people are now thinking of moving or returning back into the regions. This is why I’ve invited Bronwyn Reid, speaker and author of Small Company, Big Business, to give us a glimpse of what it’s like to own a business and live in the regions today.
After sharing her interesting life story of living in the regions, moving out and coming back for good, she shares the great opportunities available to industries and individuals in these areas.
