Cath of the day/ Catch is always one my favourite site to buy things online. I have been using it since 2012.
Never had the opportunity to know who is behind this business and whats their story. This book was an eye-opener for me. The entrepreneur not only lived in the same city as mine ( Melbourne), one of the brothers were also attended Monash Uni like me.
This book was truly inspirational as we got so many things in common and many things to learn from their story. One line I can highlight from the book is - ' you don't need to reinvent the wheel to be entrepreneurial'.

Really enjoyable method of storytelling, great key points of wisdom in the "catches" and open nature in sharing the experience.
Hope the Leibovich brothers can now enjoy some down time with family while working out balance and inspiration ahead.

Brilliant and inspiring journey of two humble brothers that have left an amazing mark on the Australian (and global) business world. Inspiring, captivating and a pleasure to read. Be recommending to many. Terrific book.

Read it because it has endorsements from both my current employer and my previous one. Good yarn about a Melbourne tech institution. Super cool to hear about all the locations they built CotD in which are just down the road from me.

Great story about the founders of Catch. Good insight into the growth and development of their business. It teaches you how hard-work, persistence, innovation and a strong team/culture can really take you a far way.

Lots of great takeways and tips from such challenging events. Great for insights on what it's like starting and managing a tech start up. There were times when I felt the book became a little boastful, but an all round great read. Would recommened.
