Got a question for The NABS Podcast?
Stephen Ballinger, known best to the industry as Bally, is chief commercial officer at Astus. He is also a huge advocate for mental wellness after experiencing a breakdown. It's a turnaround for somebody who was raised to carry on, no matter what: he now checks in on himself and his team daily and encourages us all to do the same.
Also joining us for this episode is Annabel McCaffrey, head of support, NABS.
