This YouTube preview features Jarrad Goulding recounting a critical decision during an early business expansion: with a small team and a couple of franchise partners, they chose to take a risk—"throw the hat over the fence"—and commit to making the expansion work (a sink-or-swim moment). The clip captures the entrepreneurial urgency and pragmatic choice to proceed rather than hiring again.

It forced us to decide, what are we going to do here? We could either try and hire someone again or what we're going to do. So we had a couple of franchise partners at that stage. It was still quite small and we just said, we're going to throw the hat over the fence. Then we were like, well, the hat's over the fence. We're going to make this thing work, otherwise we're stuffed, basically. Yeah. Sink or swim. So that's what we did. And then way we went, and then the franchise sort of group.
