Intro
Today I talk to Glen Stewart, who has been working in finance for 21 years. Originally from Ireland, he came to Australia and landed in the retail and property markets. For the past ten years, Stewart has been working in the medical finance space and is currently head of credit at Credabl.
In this interview, we talk about good and bad debt, how to buy a practice, and when to buy a house, car, or a practice. We also tackle how your credit scores are calculated and why it's essential to consult a specialist lender rather than your local bank.
