Ep19: Mici Beer - Introducing the Hills Community Aid support network
Welcome to Business Minds, a podcast proudly brought to you by Sydney Hills Business Chamber.
Our show aims to both educate and inspire business owners – big or small – by sharing stories and extensive experience from like-minded people.
I am your host, Fiona Kane, and today I’m chatting with Mici Beer about 'Hills Community Aid - how they support the community and how you can support them in return.'
