01:04:23The profits in the imagination gap, with Jay Samit
If you're an experienced leader, founder or consultant, there's a particular kind of quiet risk you might not be tracking. The world you built your career in is being rewritten, and the tools that used to belong to well-funded companies now sit on your laptop for free. This week I'm joined by Jay Samit, author of Disrupt You, Future Proofing You, and his latest book, The Second Act Advantage. Jay

56:16The trust you can't build, with Greg Hoffman
If you've ever walked into an organisation and immediately sensed something was off - a kind of low-level tension, a lack of direction, people moving fast but not together - you've experienced what Greg Hoffman would call a leadership gap. And if you've ever been part of a team where everything clicked, where people were trusted, empowered, and genuinely cared about the work, you've experienced wh

53:34Be More Strategic: Habits That Separate Direction from Busyness - with Charlie Curzon
Strategy Isn't a Plan - and That Difference Could Change Everything Most of the people I speak with on this show are smart, capable, and deeply experienced. And yet a surprising number of them are working without a clear strategy - not because they don't care about direction, but because no one ever explained what strategy actually is, and how it's different from the planning they do every single

45:52WTF do I do now? ( It's not what you think ), with Danielle Sprouls
Most leaders I speak with aren't struggling because they lack skill or experience. They're struggling because when things shift - when the market moves, the strategy stalls, or something just stops feeling right - they don't have a reliable process for navigating that moment well. They wing it. Or they freeze. Or they fall back on what worked last time, even when last time no longer applies. This

49:09The Secret to being a Timeless Presenter, with Andrea Pacini
If you've ever watched someone stumble through explaining what they do - or caught yourself doing it - this episode is for you. The ability to communicate your ideas clearly isn't a nice-to-have. It's the difference between being good at what you do and being known for it. For senior leaders, consultants, and founders, that gap is often where opportunity gets lost. Andrea Pacini runs Ideas On Stag

52:15You Can Increase Profits & Enjoy Your Work More, with Andy Clark
As a business owner, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and lose sight of the bigger picture. We often focus on one area, like sales or marketing, while other parts of the business start to lag. This is why I'm such a big believer in frameworks - they provide the structure needed to ensure the whole business is healthy and moving in the right direction. My conversation with Andy Clark, c

33:03Cold Outreach is a Waste of Time ( What to Do Instead ), with Dave Plunkett
If you're like me, you might feel that the world of marketing is trying to convince you that the only way to grow your business is through complex funnels and cold outreach. But the data shows that for a healthy expert business, 60-70% of your opportunities should come from people you already know. This is why I was so keen to speak with Dave Plunkett, a specialist in scaling businesses through re

47:44How to Upgrade Your Personal Operating System, with Angus Nelson
In a world that’s accelerating with AI, market volatility, and global complexity, it's easy to feel overwhelmed or even paralysed. As leaders and experts, we often accept this as the cost of doing business. But what if there was a better way? What if you could install a new "operating system" for your mind that provides stability, clarity, and composure, no matter what’s happening around you? This

48:15From 'Non-Player Character' to the Hero of Your Story, with Mark Delaney - Joe Rogan | Alien Abduction
There is nothing in life that matters more than life itself. Yet, so many of us get caught in a cycle of work and obligation, never stopping to ask the fundamental question: "What is this all for?". For leaders, entrepreneurs, and experts, this question is not a luxury- it's the very foundation of a sustainable and impactful career. When you are clear on your purpose, the way you show up, lead, an

57:37How to build a point of view people actually follow, with Kat Kibben
In a business world filled with noise, generic advice, and endless complexity, clarity is the ultimate competitive advantage.

36:27Building a team that crafts your future, with Nick Smith
I've had many conversations about leadership, but my discussion with Nick Smith was one of the most practical. We often think about strategy and tactics, but how often do we consider the energy of our team, or even ourselves? Where do we naturally excel, and where do we drain our batteries? 💡 Understanding this is the key to unlocking performance, not just for your team, but for yourself. In this
