On this week’s channel chat I was joined in the studio by Sean Price the CEO of Velez Managed Services. We talk about the reason why Sean was tempted back to start Velez; the pressures and commitment involved with running your own business; the personal toll it can take on your health; and also Sean’s approach to running and growing a business, treating all of the people that work for the business as his customers. I really enjoyed meeting Sean and hope you enjoy listening.
