What happens when the high of a lifetime trip slams headfirst into a business nightmare? Fresh from a dream holiday in Borneo, Joel returned not to a victory lap, but to a triple-threat gut punch: a surprise solicitor's letter demanding a huge sum, a client chargeback, and a team member's resignation. It was enough to make anyone want to pack it all in. But what if these soul-crushing obstacles aren't signs to quit, but the price of entry for the next level of growth? In this raw and unfilter...

Why do so many business owners pull back right when they should be pushing forward? In this practical, numbers-driven episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel and Martha tackle the single biggest hurdle for growing businesses: knowing when to stop breaking even and start scaling with confidence. They break down why so many en...
If your team doesn’t understand the mission, how can they possibly help you achieve it? In this unfiltered episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel and Martha get real about leadership, growth and the often-ignored truth: too many business owners either forget or fail to communicate their mission.

In a world awash with self-proclaimed experts and Instagram-perfect entrepreneurs, it’s a real challenge to separate genuine substance from slick spin. Many can talk a good game, sporting the right clothes and car, but scratch the surface and the depth simply isn't there. They might know all the business clichés and initially motivate you, but often falter when real problems arise. This episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast tackles how to see past these superficial displays. The hosts aim to hel...
Joel had planned it meticulously: a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Borneo to mark his wife Hannah’s recovery from major surgery. The centrepiece? A challenging rainforest trek to Coffin Cliff Point, a viewpoint so breathtaking it’s said to resemble an ocean of green. But the night before, illness hit. On the morning of his birthday, Joel was too unwell to get out of bed. Hannah had to go without him. That moment, watching someone he loves tackle something monumental, solo, sparked a powerful refl...
Ever delivered knockout results… only to watch a client walk? It’s a brutal truth of business: sometimes, amazing just isn't enough. In this episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel, fresh from a literal fever dream in Borneo (where he didn't see enough orangutans but did have a business epiphany!), and Martha unpack why. Using a real-life gut punch: a client who left despite an 18x return on ad spend, they reveal why your best work can vanish if clients don't see the 'so what?' and 'what's n...
That’s the blunt truth most business owners ignore. When a marketing campaign, advertising strategy or sales system starts producing results, the natural instinct should be to scale. But too often, entrepreneurs get bored, distracted or afraid: they pivot. They chase the next trend or fiddle with what isn’t broken. The result? Momentum stalls, revenue plateaus, and growth opportunities vanish. This episode is your reminder to stick with what works, amplify your wins and stop looking for probl...

Joel and Martha discuss what really makes people click "Buy Now", exploring how fear based 'what if' scenarios can drive immediate purchases, even for problems people didn't know they had. They cover why success in sales often starts with ma...

In this episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel and Martha tackle a fundamental truth many entrepreneurs try to ignore: growth is supposed to be hard. Forget the easy path. They argue that expecting challenges (whether scaling a business, training for an endurance event like Hyrox, or managing a team) is the key to actually achieving your goals.
