Strategy is easy. Execution is where most businesses fail. In this episode, Naomi Simson sits down with Mat Wilk, founder of Ballast Point Construction and creator of the Inner West Tech & Startup community, to tackle the challenges every entrepreneur faces: how to move from planning to doing, how to build partnerships that actually work, and whether being a polymath helps or hurts your business growth.

Mat shares his belief that businesses spend too much time perfecting strategy when they should be building their execution muscle and creating feedback loops. Naomi counters with practical frameworks including the one-page strategic plan, how to work backwards from big goals to daily actions, and why focusing on one hard thing makes everything else easier. 

If you're juggling multiple projects, struggling to get others committed to your vision, or wondering whether your diverse interests are diluting your personal brand, this conversation offers honest, actionable advice for finding focus and getting things done.
