  • Patience
    Jun 17 2026

    Today we explore the transformative power of patience.

    Hear how rushing into solutions or accepting the wrong job offers out of fear can hinder long-term success, and why the best results often come to those who 'stay in the game' just a little longer.

    Hear why moving straight to a solution without patience often leads to solving the wrong issue.

    Stephen shares a powerful story about persistence and knowing that you might be closer to your goal than you think.

    Oliver explains why a coach must have the patience to let a client discover their own answers to ensure long-term 'legacy' and ownership of actions.

    You'll also hear how a mentor helps you navigate upcoming obstacles that you might miss when you're moving too fast.

  • Giving Back
    Jun 3 2026

    We explore the profound impact of 'giving back' through lecturing, mentoring, and sharing life experiences with younger generations.

    Hear how passing on hard-earned knowledge not only inspires the next generation but also provides a powerful sense of reflection and renewed energy for you, the mentor.

    Stephen shares his recent experience lecturing at a university, explaining why he chooses to trade his high-value business time for the opportunity to shape undergraduate minds.

    You'll also hear Oliver sharing his experience as a contributor, and the "golden ball" concept, which is a metaphor for passing on knowledge and skills to ensure wisdom is passed on to benefit the world.

    If you're looking for ways to give back or want to share your 'superpower,' leave a comment or reach out to us directly for guidance on getting started:

  • Do You Have To Be Happy At Work?
    May 20 2026

    Today we tackle a question sent in by a listener,

    "Do you actually have to be happy at work?"

    While the ideal answer is 'yes,' the reality for many professionals is far more nuanced:

    We discuss the difference between 'being happy' and 'being happier,' and how personal circumstances, like financial planning and retirement goals, can sometimes shift your perspective on workplace satisfaction.

    If this episode triggers a realisation about your own career satisfaction, Stephen and I encourage you to reach out to us or talk to someone close to you.

    Don't wait ten years to realise you've been unhappy, and had alternatives.
