Folding Towels - A Podcast for Massage Therapists with Jackie and David Episode 099: Tony Stahl - Rock Tape Australia - From Sports Trainer to National Brand Leader - Taking An Opportunity and Running With It
You've heard of ROCKTAPE right? You probably have a box at home or on your shelf at work. And you’d be forgiven for thinking that the ROCKTAPE Australian distributor was a faceless global giant. Except that they’re not!
In Episode 99, Jackie and David sit down with Tony Stahl, head of education and a Director of ROCKTAPE AUSTRALIA who shares his journey from sports trainer to an accountant in big business to bringing ROCKTAPE to Australia.
Tony and his wife job shared in an accounting firm while they raised their kids. While thinking about making some changes to his work life, Tony was introduced to the ROCKTAPE founder through a mutual friend. What started out as an opportunity to make a little extra cash to pay for a nice holiday each year, ROCKTAPE quickly became his full time passion.
Tony talks candidly about starting ROCKTAPE with two business partners, including his brother Steve (now sadly passed), delivering quality education in Australia and some of the chances he's taken with the business.
It has evolved into a widely recognised brand, stocked nationally, yet the small team at ROCKTAPE remain dedicated to exceptional customer service (try calling them at 4pm on a Friday!).
Tony highlights the importance of providing quality education to therapists across Australia, particularly in regional areas.
