Nick is the Founder of Superist, a digital agency group with 18 agencies and over 2,000 employees worldwide. 

The agency hand-selects businesses in the $1-5 million annual recurring revenue range, advises and mentors the founders while a team of scaling specialists look to improve existing systems and processes. The group has remarkably acquired one digital services agency per month, since its inception.

Nick left university after six weeks, and after persevering through two failed business ventures, he used the last $350 to his name to launch an SEO digital marketing agency from his bedroom, a business he'd go on to sell for $39 million nine years later.

Nick was also one of two Australian Celebrity Apprentice advisors to Lord Alan Sugar and is also a former AFR young rich-lister.

In this episode we talk about:

✅  The post-COVID productivity challenge and the threat and benefits of AI

✅  Looking after the A-players in his teams

✅  What he looks for in the Founder when purchasing a business, and

✅  How his health and wellness regime is going to help him live to 150!
