New Member Feature | Mike Scott
New member alert! You've probably already seen Mike Scott, our newest Dedicated Desk member at Mâché Coworking, but now you'll learn a little more about him.
Originally from South Africa, now living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, Mike is a father, a husband, and a businessman leading SMB Mastery where he works with founders and leadership teams to help them improve their management systems, leadership teams, and their results.
After selling Nona Digital to Yoco just under 2 years ago, I have transitioned into full-time coaching where I work with founders and leadership teams of small and mid-sized businesses.
Mike works with founders to help them, in his own words "get their own sh*t together and optimized (because until that's done it's unlikely that they will be great leaders and operators).
Welcome to Mâché, Mike!
Best day out in Adelaide?
Early morning ride with a friend before sunrise then Port Willunga / Port Elliot beach day with my family then a bbq on my deck up in the hills and an evening walk listening to birds, koalas and other critters.
What do you do when you’re not at Mâché?
When I am not working I'll generally be outdoors on a mountain bike or in some trail shoes and mostly with my awesome young family. I'm very passionate about habit and behaviour optimisations and spend a lot of time on this kind of stuff to help me to be a better dad, husband, and business person.
What is your favourite movie and book?
Book: The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
Movie: Braveheart
One item you can't live without?
A device that allows me to listen to audiobooks/podcasts
If you could tell your past self one thing, what would it be?
It will be OK, and even if it's not OK, it will be OK.
