In this episode we sit down with Tom Bloom from Tomahawk Distributors to discuss his entrepreneurial journey.

We feel it is important to hear the road that others have walked so that we can learn from their lessons and improve our own journey. Learning from both their successes and failures.

"The Journey of an Entrepreneur!

In the past, an Entrepeneur was always known as a risk taker. When I was growing up I always took risks riding my motorbike, jumping off cliffs always pushing the limits but that was different.

Only now after taking the biggest risk of my life at the age of 40 leaving a top job at a corporate company as a director and head of the agriculture, construction, power and material handling business did I realise I still did not have purpose! Its not about the money!" - Tom Bloom
