Richard Goyder AO on being a decision maker, magic teamwork moments and the importance of leaders who lead

Are we paying enough attention to our young men? Do we know how to raise healthy, confident young men in the world we live in?

Luke Darcy sits down with Scott Galloway, professor at NYU Stern, entrepreneur, bestselling author and host of the wildly successful Prof G and Pivot podcasts.

In this conversation on Empowering Leaders, Luke and Scott explore the pressures facing young men right now and why the path to adulthood seems harder than it once was. Scott reflects on the role his mother played in shaping his life, why learning to handle rejection has served him so well, and how becoming a father completely shifted his sense of purpose.

He shares why boys need strong role models around them now more than ever, reminds us why empathy matters more in leadership than many people realise, and why learning to recover from failure might be one of the most important life skills we can develop.

You’ll also hear about Scott’s upcoming plans for his huge Resist & Unsubscribe movement, his disappointment in most big tech companies at this time and his belief that sometimes the most powerful thing individuals can do is simply choose not to participate.

Scott, authentic as always, offers the kind of leadership our next generation may need most.

Scott Galloway: AI Pushback, Rejection and How We Are Utterly Failing Young Men 

Recorded live overlooking the 18th at LIV Golf Adelaide 2026, Luke sits down with Scott O’Neil, CEO of one of the most talked about organisations in global sport.

Scott has led at the highest levels of the NBA, NFL and NHL, and now finds himself as CEO of LIV Golf, guiding a competition that has challenged golf’s traditions while attracting a new generation to the game.

In this conversation, he reflects on disruption and humility, the balance between innovation and respect for history, and why free agency matters in modern sport. He shares the philosophy behind his book Be Where Your Feet Are, what it means to lead under scrutiny, and how he keeps perspective when the criticism inevitably comes.

From coaching his four daughters in basketball to learning golf at 50 in front of a global audience (a great story!), Scott speaks candidly about ambition, family, pressure and giving grace.

Scott O’Neil: Respecting Tradition, Driving Innovation as CEO of LIV Golf.

What does it really take to build a championship organisation in one of the most competitive leagues in the world?

On this episode of Empowering Leaders, Luke sits down with Jon Horst, General Manager of the Milwaukee Bucks and one of the most respected executives in the NBA.

From starting as an intern to becoming the youngest GM in the league, Jon shares the mindset that shaped his rise - and the leadership principles that helped deliver an NBA championship and sustained excellence.

He reflects on building a team around Giannis Antetokounmpo, what makes Giannis so rare beyond talent, and why character is non-negotiable when constructing a winning culture.

Big topics:

Jon's reputation for recruitment and the “IP” behind their decision-making process

The balance between analytics and instinct

How clear communication cuts through high-stakes pressure

Why sustained success is about people, not just performance

Jon also speaks about the cross-pollination of leadership across sport - you’ll hear him mention leaders like Matt LaFleur (listen to Matt’s Empowering Leaders episode here) - and how community and shared learning elevate teams beyond what any individual can do alone.

Learn. Lead. Collaborate.

We are privileged to have Jon as part of our Aleda Connect community. Book a discovery call today to find out more about how you can learn and grow alongside people like Jon within our signature leadership program.
