Lion Financial Group founder Josh Steen shares how businesses can approach asset finance with greater confidence, choose suitable lenders and manage risk, along with his insights on AI, sustainable growth, team-building and the habits that support stronger leadership.

In this episode of The Bottom Line, Sevan Tuna speaks with Ed Alder, Group CEO and co-founder of pay.com.au, about building one of Australia's fastest-growing fintech businesses. They discuss the lessons learned from accounting, banking and M&A, the decision to create a proprietary rewards ecosystem, scaling a platform now processing billions of dollars in transactions each quarter, and why disciplined execution matters more than rapid expansion.

Jim Penman, founder of Jim’s Group, joins The Bottom Line to share the lessons behind building one of Australia’s most recognised franchise brands, from customer service and systems to leadership, pricing, and supporting franchisees.
