Business
Each week the NZ Herald's Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it's the rise in self-employed New Zealanders, and how to do it with more success. Hosted by Frances Cook.What do you do when you lose your job, through no fault of your own, but because the world has gone into meltdown? Well, for a certain slice of New Zealanders, the answer seems to be that you create your own job. It makes sense, because what do you really have to lose now? If you can’t find someone else to give you an opportunity, then maybe you can make your own instead? And you certainly can, particularly if you take the approach of repackaging the skills you used in your old job, and using them in a new way for the strange new normal we find ourselves in. On this week's Cooking the Books I talked to Hnry CEO James Fuller.If you have a question about this podcast, or question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it.
