  • Why Your Best Decision Today Might Be Costing You Your Biggest Payday
    Jul 28 2026

    Every business owner makes decisions that feel right in the moment. But what if those same decisions are quietly reducing the value of your business over the long term?

    In this episode of The Green Room, Chris Green explores why so many business owners prioritise today's wins over tomorrow's opportunities, and how this pattern can influence everything from growth and differentiation to the eventual value of the business.

    Through real client examples and practical insights, Chris challenges you to think differently about the choices you're making today—and whether they're helping you build a business that's not only successful now, but valuable in the future.

    If you're serious about creating a business that stands out, grows sustainably and is worth more tomorrow than it is today, this episode is one you won't want to miss.

  • I Love being too busy to do the things I enjoy... said no one
    Jul 20 2026

    No business owner sets out to build a life where they're constantly busy, stressed and too time-poor to enjoy the things that matter most. Yet for many, that's exactly where they end up.

    In this episode of The Green Room, Chris challenges a simple but powerful question:

    Are you building the successful business you say you want, or the one your diary proves you're building?

    Drawing on insights from Seth Godin, Michael Gerber and Molly Bloom, Chris explores why so many business owners become trapped working in their business instead of deliberately building one that creates freedom.

    You'll discover:

    • Why being busy isn't the same as being successful.
    • The hidden cost of becoming the bottleneck in your business.
    • Four lessons high-performing entrepreneurs have in common.
    • How calculated risk, persistence and challenging the status quo create long-term growth.
    • Practical ways to build a business that works for you—not because of you.

    If you're ready to stop surviving your business and start intentionally building one that gives you the freedom you originally set out to create, this episode is for you.
