Rebranded and Reborn: Zedu, the Training Co that Faced Down its Giants & Rose from the Ashes - Ep 21
If there was ever a podcast episode that resembled War and Peace, this one has got to be it.
For the ultrasound training company Zedu, there were a few years where it seemed like everything was against them.
They faced detractors in the medical industry; identity theft by a competitor; a business ‘divorce’; the 2019 bushfires; and the impact of COVID. But owners Suean Pascoe and Michael Duncan are not quitters.
All of these trials have helped them to refine their business, and build a vibrant, energetic brand that stands out in the market like a beacon.
