  • Olympian Bronte Campbell on sustainable activewear. Plus, tackling "AI workslop"
    Mar 1 2026

    Building eco-friendly brands and tackling the downsides of AI are timely issues in the business world – and we’ve got both covered in this week’s episode.

    First, we dive in with Olympian-turned-founder Bronte Campbell, who shares how frustration with traditional activewear led her to co-found sustainable activewear brand Earthletica. She also explains why consistency, discipline and feedback – essential skills in elite sport – are just as critical for business success.

    Then Neal Woolrich from Gartner helps us navigate the murkier waters of AI at work, unpacking how to tackle low-quality, AI-generated content – also known as “AI work slop”.

  • How to manifest success - and build an advisory board using LinkedIn
    Feb 22 2026

    Mindset, manifestation, and building a strong advisory board: they’re three very different approaches that can all play a role in success, as our guests this week explain.

    To kick this episode off, serial entrepreneur Hilton Misso shares his remarkable career journey: from suburban law firm to major wins across law, real estate, and childcare. Drawing on insights from his new book How to Manifest Success, Hilton discusses the role mindset and intuition have played in his career - and why he views adversity, including chronic health challenges, as a gift.

    Then, LinkedIn trainer Karen Tisdell explains how to build a formal or informal “board of advisors” on LinkedIn. She shares practical tips for finding the right experts; staying visible to them; and ensuring you have the right team in your corner to help navigate the changing business landscape.
