What does it take to grow from 10 students to over 1,100?

In this episode, Michael sits down with tutoring industry legend Harry Mav to unpack the real story behind one of Australia’s most respected tutoring centres.

They talk about:

• Starting from libraries and car visits
 • Making mistakes that don’t kill the business
 • Why fear stops more growth than failure ever does
 • Choosing real service over flashy tactics
 • The risk of growing too fast without losing your values
 • Why trust is what you’re really selling—not tutoring
 • AI, online learning, and what’s next for the industry

This is a masterclass for tutoring business owners who care more about people than profits—but still want to scale the right way.

No fluff. Just lessons from 15 years in the game.
