From a small trail building operation to a national powerhouse, Dave Willcox has turned Common Ground into a blueprint for extraordinary purpose-driven business growth. 

What began as a passion project has evolved into a fully structured national organisation, now operating under a complete management team, delivering multiple large-scale projects simultaneously across Australia. 

The business that once turned over $1.5 million now employs a 70-plus national team and is pushing toward $15 million in annual revenue. 

Dave has created a culture where passionate trail builders pursue excellence in craftsmanship and support each other to connect the next generation with the outdoors. 

But behind the growth charts and national footprint is the story of a bloke who sacrificed everything, including his personal wellbeing and family connections to fulfil this purpose.  In the early years, long nights, constant travel and the pressure of making payroll almost consumed him. 

Today, business and life look much different. His is a business built not just for profit, but to support the family it was also meant to serve. 

In this episode you’ll learn: 

🔨 Purpose drives performance more powerfully than pressure ever could. 
🔨 Growth demands leadership maturity, not just technical skill. 
🔨 Vulnerability strengthens teams more than pretending to have answers. 
🔨 Asking for help accelerates progress and protects mental health. 
🔨 Systems create freedom when implemented with discipline and courage. 
🔨 Success means nothing if family connection is sacrificed.
