Rhys Badkin had just launched his business full-time after 18 months as a side hustle. Skills: plenty. Perspective: none.

In his own words:

“I just want to do a quick testimonial for my friend the Sherpa. He is incredible. The amazing thing about Tristan is that he is humble, he is experienced, he is talented — but more than anything he doesn’t mind asking the awkward questions.

I have only just recently launched into my business full-time. It had been a side hustle for about 18 months. I launched into it with so many questions, a lot of enthusiasm and a good bit of skill — but actually not a lot of perspective.

Tristan, with all of his experience working with businesses and having set up numerous ones of his own, knows exactly what you need to know at the right time. He is a critical friend — and you need that when you’re running your business, especially when you’re on your own. You need someone to ensure that you’re doing the right things, to help you understand what you should be focusing on at any given point.

He makes sure that you’re going in the right direction and that you’re aligned to the vision for your business as well as understanding the why behind it. Vision — tick. Practical skills — tick. Constant support — tick. Regular challenge — tick.

That’s what you need if you’re going to take on any form of professional support. If you’re considering engaging with him in any way, I could not recommend him any stronger.”

"He is incredible. He's humble, experienced, talented — but more than anything he doesn't mind asking the awkward questions."
