I had an epiphany while listening to this episode. There is no villain in Karl’s story. He hasn’t had to overcome any massive tragedy, or Phoenix rising from the ashes. In fact it’s an unremarkable success. But a great story nevertheless.Karl’s story is about his progress from taking over the family business; creating a business that reflected his values and purpose; building a culture that allowed him to be in control and let go of managing; and finally having the time and money to purs...

Respecting a person’s views and beliefs and taking the time to be interested in the person.I hope you enjoy this insightful conversation with Andrew Fox.Andrew FoxCEO Cultural ...
As you can tell Damian has a very positive attitude towards business and lifeThere are a few lessons that I think we could take away from this conversation.The first is that going back to basics is a mistake. What worked years ago may not work today. Although we didn’t discuss this a lot of what Damian spoke of was first principles.You can be experienced and not confident, and not experienced and confident and it’s knowing the difference. There is obviously risks when acting with confidence a...
It’s interesting that regardless of the times and the business environment, regardless of the financial, political or societal position, people are a constant. In today’s world we talk about Psychological Safety, in the 80’s and 90’s it was Emotional Intelligence and before that it was Management Theory.So as business evolves so does the development of people and one could argue that the way we lead business is conforming with how we see society and that business is a large part of how w...
Every asset is eventually sold (or transferred in an Estate) and your business is typically a major part of your asset portfolio.So it therefore makes sense to have a mindset to treat your business just like any other asset. What’s its purpose and why are you doing what you do?That’s not an uncommon approach from Management Consultants but it’s a very different approach to what you’d expect to find from a Business Broker. But as you’ll hear, Simon Bedard’s financial management background make...
After leaving School with multiple degrees and a Masters, Madelyn Dunlap soon realized, even with all that business knowledge, that she was ill-equipped to help the business develop.This led her on a journey that coincided with her joining Matthew Pohl in his business.

As we face yet another series of business challenges in the shape of inflation, interest rises, staff shortages and the potential for wage increases, it is more important than ever to have to be in control of your business.At the core of this control is your financial viability and the tool that helps you with this analysis is your Financial Statement.

It is a simple 2 step ...

There are lots of people who are in the Sales Coaching space and it’s a very competitive market. There’s a difference between being a good Sales Person and being a good Sales Coach or Manager. It’s rare you find someone who has transitioned successfully so I was I really pleased when Adam agreed to come on the show.Adam Bude and I have known each other for about a year now and we’ve had numerous interactions where Adam has always been generous with his advice and counsel, especially in the ar...
