Most leaders stay flat out doing work that someone else on the team could do, while the work only they can do never gets touched. That gap sits at the centre of this conversation.

Az sits down with Dan from A Thousand Feet Deep, the culture and leadership business he leans on most, to work through a question that sounds simple and turns out to be the hardest one a leader can answer. What do you do that only you can do?

They get into the difference between chasing symptoms and finding the root cause, why leadership is influence before it is anything else, and why a core purpose keeps shifting as a business moves through seasons. Dan makes the case that culture is how you do what you do, not smiling faces and a beer on a Friday, and that the strongest cultures are forged rather than left to evolve. The Penrith Panthers and the Melbourne Storm are his proof, clubs that kept winning while losing their best players every year because the standard lived in the system instead of one or two people.

It is also an unusually honest episode. Az is candid about feeling stuck, unmotivated and unsure of his next move, including the three weeks he spent building things that were never his job to build. If you're busy but going backwards, this one names the problem and points to a way through.

Building a team that truly owns your vision is one of the most rewarding and demanding things a leader can do.

Most leaders aren't short on vision. They're still developing the tools to bring others into it, and that's exactly where the real leadership work begins.

In this episode Dan sits down with cafe owner and entrepreneur Jack Scheeren, a leader who has done the hard yards of building a team around a vision and has the stories to prove it. Jack is someone who believes deeply in his people and has learned firsthand what it takes to close the gap between where you're going and getting your team to run there with you.

Vision is more than passion and desire. It's believing the possible is worth pursuing, then developing the kind of culture where your team can see it, own it, and carry it forward together.

In this conversation you'll discover why vision is one of the most powerful leadership tools available, what it actually looks like when a team steps up and owns the direction, and what a leader can do to make that happen.

Dan Urquhart from 1000 Feet Deep is back on the couch... and this one gets real fast.
Dan knows what it looks like when a building business starts to crack under the weight of its own success. He lived it. And now he helps builders understand the foundations they need before the cracks appear...not after.
In this episode, Az and Dan get into why success can actually be the most dangerous thing for a business without the right foundation underneath it. They talk about negative momentum, the worker vs. leader mindset, and why the phrase "I just can't find good people" is usually a leadership problem in disguise.
They also cover Dan's upcoming events - a webinar on March 11th and a one-day masterclass on March 19th in Newcastle - built around the three foundations every building business needs: leadership, team, and organisational structure.
If you've ever felt like things are rolling downhill and you can't stop it — this one's for you.
What we cover:
Why success has weight - and what happens when your business can't carry it
The difference between a worker mindset and a leadership mindset
Negative momentum: what it is and how to spot it before it takes over
Why "I can't find good people" is the wrong question
Dan's March webinar and masterclass — what they cover and who they're for. 

This is a wide-ranging chat about leadership, team, culture, and the foundations that hold a building business together when the season shifts. Dan shares what he learned through COVID at GJ Gardner, why a strong mission gives you a backbone to measure problems against, and the three questions every leader should be asking themselves regularly: what do I need to drop off, what do I need to take up, and what do I need to move on from.
It also gets personal. Both Dan and Az speak openly about the baggage leaders carry from past seasons, the cost of trying to do it all alone, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is the difference between weathering the next storm and getting caught out by it.
In this episode:
The seasons mindset and why leaders need to be present in the now while preparing for what's coming.
The COVID lesson about success having weight, and why foundations are exposed when the pressure ramps up.
Why mission, vision and core values are not corporate fluff but the anchor that lets you right-size every problem you face.
Leadership, team and culture as the only three things you can actually control, and why everything else (reputation, consistency, finances, communication) is a byproduct.
Why builders going to coach after coach are often trying to fix problems that started with weak leadership foundations.
The personal side of leadership, the scars we carry into the next season, and why healing matters before the next chapter.
Plus, Az floats a new idea: a living case study where The Good Builder backs one builder through the systems, leadership development and processes that we believe make a good builder. If that's you, get in touch.
