How to get sh!t done with a sense of purpose
Apart from being full of infectious energy, Grant Field, CEO of FedGroup, has to be one of the most likeable CEOs I have ever met.

I think it’s the most brilliant idea! Everything about it is just so ‘right’ and they deserve to do really well with it. More importantly, it caught my interest as to how they implement Purpose in the rest of the business – hence the interview.
