Futureflip founder Neil Hipwell shares his journey from dropping out of school in Year Nine to building a multi-million dollar company by 36 in the latest episode of HIA’s Made to Build podcast. Diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD, Neil channelled his hyperfocus into creating a business kicking goals at the high end of Australian housing. His enviable work-life balance and dedication to the creative side of the building industry is a shining example of transcending mental health challenges to win the game.
You need to understand how to deal with someone who might not want to sit in a two-hour meeting but is a genius with their hands.Neil Hipwell, Made to Build podcast
