  • Insightful and Inspiring

    There are many reasons this podcast has made its way to my top 5 favourites - the mix of credible guests, the inspiring and practical insights as well as Brendan’s total authenticity (the fact he’s local is just a bonus) As a start up business owner, it has been an invaluable resource in helping me align who I am with what I do - in essence keeping first things first.

  • Brilliant interviewer

    I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Brendan. He is one of the best interviewers I have ever come across. He really asked some fantastic questions to get the best out of the interview. I went on to listen to his other podcasts and again they are fantastic. He really makes you feel at ease so that you come from your heart space and deliver with passion and purpose which is what he and his team are all about. Great guy, great show.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

High Performance Leadership for SME Leaders: Damian Hughes
Q: What drew you to write Micro Habits?
The idea of turning abstract concepts of high performance into practical, bite-sized steps that people can actually implement, validated by science and real-world stories from interviews.
High Performance Leadership for SME Leaders: Damian Hughes
Q: What does scaling with purpose mean to you?
It means making a meaningful difference for as many people as possible, and refining that impact over time so you can measure success by the real, individual impact you have on others.
Rhett Power: The Mental Battle Every Scaling Founder Must Win
Q: So Rhett, to kick off the show, what does scaling with purpose mean to you?
Scaling with purpose means growing without losing your soul, building a bigger and better business while maintaining humane leadership, healthy teams, and strong culture that shows up in every trade-off and decision.
[ScaleX Bite-Size] Dr. Tony Bridwell: Why Leaders Get Stuck — It's Not a Problem, It's a Tension
Q: Where do people get stuck the most in the context of growth?
They get stuck because they treat tensions as problems to solve rather than as interdependent values to balance, leading to paralysis or forced compromises rather than embracing a yes-and approach.
[ScaleX Bite-Size] Dale Beaumont: Stop Doing Everything Yourself
Q: Where does the founder or CEO get involved in sales and marketing, if they're not from that domain?
The guest explains that founders should remain responsible for lead generation and marketing until they've learned the framework well enough to document it, after which it can be systemized or handed off to others. In the meantime, the founder should invest in learning the skills and shaping the process.
