The hard-earned lessons, advice and stories to building a digital empire

Building multiple businesses over 13 years worth over $1 BILLION in exits is no small feat, especially for brothers with no business experience, limited industry knowledge, and little technical skills. Gabby and Hezi Leibovich are the brothers behind some of Australia's most well-known brands including Catch of the Day (now known as Catch.com.au), EatNow (merged with Menulog), and Scoopon.

With a passion for sharing their story of starting with eBay stores to disrupting multiple sectors with an empire of digital businesses, Gabby came onto The Make It Happen Show to show you how anyone, no matter their background or experience, can create a successful business. This episode is filled with hard-earned lessons, great pieces of advice, and endless authentic stories from their journey to greatness. Check it out now.

This is so awesome, so helpful, and so fresh. Right from the get-go, the team at The Entourage have brought out the big names in the Aussie entrepreneur and business space to have conversations that every business owner should listen to. I can't wait to see who they bring on next.

Loved the episode with Tim Fung, Airtasker CEO! You guys are getting some awesome guests in! Thank you!

Entourage on point again!

Adz Rodger

Great content again from The Entourage! Particularly like the 1st episode and the points Tim Fung made about making sure you make time to map out the future and don't get stuck on day to day 'work', as well as the observation that you really need to be strategic about your people management and not just try to save money. Two awesome take homes I have already taken action on!

For entrepreneurs and non-trepeneurs alike

Well this was one of the best things I’ve heard in a while. I’m by no means the target demographic, having zero business or entrepreneurial experience at all. Luckily the advice given for business growth and success is remarkably applicable to personal growth and success. Loved the conversational style, by the end of the podcast I felt like I knew both Tims personally, which is a great mark of engagement. And I loved hearing about the humble beginnings of Airtasker from the founder himself. Give this a listen if you’re craving a bit of personal or professional inspiration.
