Article Attached To This Podcast 🎙️: https://atlasgeographica.com/dan-paech/

Dan Peach is the guest on this episode of the podcast and co-owner of the Stockholm based start-up, 100 Point Challenge.

Dan is a mate of mine who I met a couple of years ago when I was selling a booking software for tour operators in Europe. Dan owns the business that was at the time companies first Swedish client. I have since moved to Stockholm and Dan has become one of my closest friends here.

I wanted to interview Dan because he has such an interesting story about moving from Perth over to Sweden. He is a business owner and perennial entrepreneur and he currently owns and runs a business that pulled off one of the best pivots I have ever heard during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is stuff worthwhile of a Harvard business case study.

You can expect to hear in the podcast with Dan Paech about the following and more…

• Dan’s story and motivation for coming to Sweden of all places.
• Starting and running a business in Sweden.
• A bit of Perth history and what its like to grow up there.
• Plus you guys will hear about more and more as well, please refer to the timestamps to navigate through the chat.
