#19 - The Mickey Effect

This week we’re joined by Michael “Mickey” Lenderick—legendary dad of four daughters, netball coach, and the guy behind RentWA (yes, the one with the epic Christmas parties at his house). Mickey tells us what it’s really like running a family business—building a strong team culture, throwing next-level staff parties, and even giving in to the tech upgrades he never wanted but knew the business needed. He also gets honest about his tough childhood, how that shaped him, and the advice he wishes more new business owners would hear.Of course, we couldn’t resist diving into dad life: learning to do ponytails under pressure, coaching the netball team, and his hilarious take on how men and women communicate (spoiler: not the same language). And then Mickey shares a moving family story—discovering siblings he never knew existed until after his mum passed away.It’s raw, it’s funny, it’s real—and exactly the kind of chat we love having on Wiser with Wine.***This episode is proudly sponsored by RentWA***⁠https://www.rentwa.net.au/⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/rent_wa/⁠Follow us on instagram⁠https://www.instagram.com/wiserwithwine⁠
