In our six monthly catchup, we chew the fat on local government, public pressure, city growth, online outrage, development projects, parking problems, tourism, events, housing, and what it really takes to make decisions that affect an entire community.

This episode goes beyond politics. It’s a dive into leadership, public perception, social media influence, long-term city planning, and the balancing act of trying to improve a regional city while keeping everyone happy at the same time.

Jaysen opens up about the realities of council life, why simple solutions usually aren’t simple, the pressure of public criticism, the future of Bunbury’s CBD, major projects currently in motion, and why community engagement matters more than ever.

Eliot talks about growing up around construction through his family business, working massive commercial projects around Bunbury, and eventually finding himself chasing snow seasons across Canada and Japan for years before returning home to build a life and career in WA.

We touch on work ethic, delegation, leadership, apprenticeships, pricing pressure in business, dealing with competitors, the evolution of Bunbury, and what actually matters when building a company that lasts.

We also unpack the reality of becoming parents, navigating pregnancy, balancing ambition with family life, and how priorities shift as life changes. It’s a grounded, funny, highly relatable conversation full of practical perspective and honest reflections.
