In this episode I sit down with Kendall Gilding and what struck me most wasn't the twenty years on camera or being one of the youngest news anchors in the country. It was her honesty about what it actually cost to hold it all together.

For eight years Kendall was the face of Queensland's afternoon news. And then she walked away from the thing that made her, to build something of her own. What unfolds in this conversation is so much more than a career story. We talk about what it really takes to look composed when you're falling apart behind the scenes, the quiet bravery of leaving, and what she's learning about leading as herself rather than the version the anchor desk asked her to be.

My chat with Kendall was just the reminder I needed that day. That we're all just doing our best and are so very human. As inspired as I always am in my chats with people with such incredible success stories, it's their immense vulnerability that inspires me the most. This was no exception

He started in real estate at 16 and never looked back. Jonny built Housemark, Wingman Group and the entire CREATE Holdings empire into something rare: a business that scales without losing its soul. This one is full of gold. His approach to trust, culture and building in the messy middle makes him one of the most compelling young leaders in the country.

In this episode, I sit down with Stephen Moore. Former Wallabies Captain, World Cup winner, and one of Australian rugby's most decorated leaders.

And honestly? I wasn't prepared for how much I'd like him.

Because Stephen Moore is not what you'd expect. He's not the alpha in the room. He's not the guy performing his own highlight reel. He's someone who will openly tell you what he doesn't know, what he's still figuring out, and why he thinks relationships and trust matter more than almost anything else in leadership.

Watching him navigate the leap from elite sport into the corporate world. With no ego, no armour, just a genuine commitment to keep growing, reminded me that the best leaders aren't the ones who've arrived. They're the ones who never stop becoming.

This conversation left me thinking: this is exactly the kind of person you'd want leading you. Not because he's impressive (though he is) but because he's real.

Unscripted. Honest. And quietly one of the most compelling leaders I've sat across from.
