#67 David Dicker - Founder of Dicker Data

In this episode, I interview David Dicker, founder of Dicker Data. David started the business in 1978 has grown it over 46 years including listing it on the ASX where it now has a market capitalization of around $2 billion, making David one of Australia’s wealthiest people in the process.

Throughout the episode, David talks about business in a very logical manner, explaining that large growth is the summation of incremental steps. David also explains why listing on the ASX early was one of the best decisions he ever made in the business and why he would do it again if he had to start from the beginning.
