About Mike: Mike Sharpe is a business-savvy business owner who saw early in his career and the writing on the wall, that if he used safety for the good of his enterprise, it would pay considerable dividends.  With this in mind he set a course for the business and team to follow, and today  New Plymouth Underwater is New Zealand’s premier occupational dive, sub-sea and marine support providers.  They provide solutions to various sectors including occupational diving, remotely operated vehicles (ROV), salvage and recovery, ports and harbours, utility industries, offshore/onshore oil & gas industries, and marine engineering.   Also, to their credit, they are one of the very select few organizations in the world that have earned the coveted "Shell Diving Centre of Excellence” Certification. As a direct result have conducted operations throughout the Asian and Oceania regions. Safety Does Pay!   In this episode, Spike and Mike discuss: What Mike’s business does and how he got started The importance of safety training and certification The benefits of living the safety protocol, not just having it on the books The difference between safety and safety culture     Key Takeaways: When you’re employees are in a better headspace, safety will become paramount The team you put around you is crucial for getting to where you want to go It’s important to know your product and be able to answer questions whenever they come up If you’re not living safety, you’re doing a disservice to your employees and the profitability of your company     "Keep on boxing on because there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, it just may not come as soon as you’d want it to come, but it eventually does come.” — Mike Sharpe   Connect with Mike: Website:  http://www.newplymouthunderwater.co.nz   Connect with Spike Edwards: Website: spikeedwards.com Email: spike@spikeedwards.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/spike-edwards  TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2SptCbTFyk&t=85s     Show notes by show producer/podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
