From the classroom to real estate, Ben Hennessy’s path reflects a deliberate decision to step into a new arena with intent and purpose. Beginning his career as a high school maths teacher, Ben chose to transition into the real estate industry , then a transformative trip around the world gave him the clarity to define what he would carry forward, and what he would leave behind. Ben then made a choice to start from the ground up and has successfully grown an outstanding regional real estate business.

Joined by Kylie Walsh, this conversation centres on the discipline of showing up consistently and intentionally as a leader. No matter what’s happening in the background, the responsibility remains the same: to bring the best version of yourself to your team, and just as importantly, to those waiting at home. Grounded in the belief that time is our most valuable asset, Ben and Kylie explore reflection as a true leadership gift, and why building teams on shared values isn’t optional. It’s everything.

Impact & Influence is ranked among the top 10% of podcasts globally, a position it has maintained since launching on 1 July 2025.

What sets the podcast apart is its unique focus on the complete A–Z of building, growing and leading a successful real estate business. Unlike many industry podcasts that concentrate solely on leadership or sales performance, Impact & Influence explores every critical pillar of business success.

Hosted by respected industry leaders Kylie Walsh and Lauren Kirk, who bring more than 50 years of combined real estate experience, the series combines practical coaching, proven business strategies and insightful conversations with some of Australia's most accomplished business owners, industry professionals and specialist partners.

Each episode delivers actionable insights across topics including:
Trademarks and partnership agreements
Profitability, reporting and key business metrics
Culture, client experience and capability frameworks
Mystery shopping and quality assurance
Technology, systems and platform strategy
Leadership development, succession planning and business growth

These are candid, commercially grounded conversations where leaders share real-world experiences—what worked, what didn't, and the pivotal decisions that transformed their businesses, strengthened culture, improved recruitment and retention, and increased profitability.

Produced by Pro Podcast, new episodes are released weekly, providing real estate professionals with a trusted source of practical guidance, growth strategies and business insights.

Impact & Influence is authentic, solution-focused and deeply aligned with the challenges facing today's real estate leaders. Co-host Kylie Walsh, Founder and Director of REGROWTH, is a former Telstra Business Women's Awards finalist and has been recognised by realestate.com.au as one of Australia's Most Influential Women in Property. Together, Kylie and Lauren are licensed agents, accredited trainers and widely respected industry leaders committed to elevating business performance across the sector.
