The resilience and warmth of Barnaby Howarth is nothing short of a beacon of hope, and our latest conversation with him is a testament to the human spirit’s tenacity. Barnaby, a stroke survivor who reinvented himself as an entrepreneur and resilience keynote speaker, took us on a journey through his life’s seismic shifts, from the devastating stroke at 25 to finding his footing again, both personally and professionally. He opens up about creating his podcast ‘Everyday Greatness’, where he uncovers the often overlooked splendor in the lives of ordinary people — proving that being a decent person is at the heart of true success. We also take a peek at Barnaby’s own podcast episodes, where he converses with an array of individuals, from sports stars to the humblest carrot farmers, drawing out their stories to show how kindness and goodness are the real cornerstones of achievement.

Our dialogue then steers towards the subtle yet profound leadership lessons Barnaby has gleaned through his experiences. He shares anecdotes of connectivity and the ripple effect of consistent, incremental actions — wisdom he picked up both from his ABC days and while leading his own ventures. Through his eyes, we see how qualities like kindness, which some might mistake for a business liability, actually fortify the foundation of successful leadership. Barnaby has lived through challenges that test the soul, including scaling the heights of Kilimanjaro, and it’s through these narratives that we understand how everyday actions and genuine authenticity can contribute to a leadership style that not only inspires but resonates on a deeply human level. Join us as we explore the essence of what it means to lead with heart, and discover how you too can embody the greatness in the everyday.
