Podcast copy: When you start a brokerage, you’re used to doing every deal, making every decision, and taking every late-night call. But the real growth comes when you finally learn to let go.

In this episode of Broker Bulletin, Tom Caesar, Group Executive for Asset Finance at LMG, sits down with Brendan Zadravec, Director and Finance Broker at Ironbark Asset Finance, to unpack what the first 15 months of business have taught him about leadership, discipline and trust. 

From his early days in the banks to running a seven-person team, Brendan shares how he built structure into chaos, created space for his brokers to thrive, and learned to lead from the front, not from behind a desk.

The father of four also opens up about balance; how his “triangle” of family, health and career keeps him grounded while building a business that’s growing fast but staying sustainable.

You’ll learn:
Why broking and building a business are two different jobs
How to delegate, automate and trust the data
The daily habits that separate growth from burnout
What sustainable scaling really looks like
Why attitude always beats experience when hiring

If you’re growing a team, a business or both, this one hits home.
