In this Checkout episode, we go behind the scenes with Grant Arnott, the brains behind  Click Frenzy, Power Retail and New Zealand’s GrabOne, to hear what fuels his ecommerce engine. From leadership lessons in Zero to One and Great by Choice, to why customer-first brands like Birdsnest stand out against ecommerce clones, Grant explains why innovation doesn’t always need a dev sprint or a budget. He also opens up about the mental juggle of running three very different businesses and why accounting software like Xero and Excel powers every idea before he scales.
