In this episode, I interview Nick Prokopiec, the Chief Executive Officer of Season Buck, a Tasmanian Recruitment and HR Consulting Firm, that has been around in the Tassie market for just over 34 years now.

For many years, we're very attractive as a state to see change and make changes. But we're now starting to see housing availability and affordability be a real challenge even coming from the mainland, including the retention piece for employers.

Nick has said that if you don't allocate the time and take it seriously, often it turns to custard. So he says, "allocating time is probably the key for a small business."
