    Deb has spent her career in high-pressure environments, where decisions carry real weight.

  • EP001 - From Broomstick Nunchucks to Safety Advisor: How Support Turns Potential Into Confidence
    Jan 18 2026

    Archie’s working life didn’t follow a clear plan. He moved through hands-on jobs, heavy industry, years of martial arts training, and work with UFC fighters.

    In this conversation, we talk about how confidence didn’t come from pushing harder or believing more in himself. It came later, when the right people backed him and the environment finally changed.

    This episode looks at how support shapes confidence over time and how work can feel very different depending on who you’re around.
