Fearless Conversations

Perfectionism is a trap most entrepreneurs get caught in. Inspired by a 2016 article written by Dimitri Antonopoulos, we discuss how perfectionism impacts our working life and some ideas on how we handle it in ourselves, including sharing some insights from Dr. Brene Brown's new book, Dare to Lead.

Dimitri and Damian are back in the chair after a long few weeks of difficult conversations. You can hear it in our voices — the topic was a given. If you would like to get in touch with us, please send an email to [email protected]

Dimitri Antonopoulos takes a break this week — Lauren Vilitati and Damian Karaula discuss the fears and imposter syndromes of entrepreneurs – from second guessing oneself to realising hidden potential. Enjoy.

This week Damian and Dimitri explore the topic of fear in response to Jim's blog post on the topic. 

Damian and Dimitri discuss the start to the year which saw them travel to Silicon Valley to talk to investors, and to Athens to run a transformational culture program respectively. 

What is needed to shift from fear to fearlessness?

Today we speak with former Australian Special Forces Commander, Reg Crawford about leadership, teams and what it takes to build trust at scale.

Having enjoyed a 22 year Army career that included operational service in Rwanda, East Timor and Iraq, Reg uses his unique leadership experience and insight into elite performance to help transform thinking and performance.

Reg served in the elite Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) for a greater part of his career and commanded units from small teams to operational units of 300 personnel, including soldiers from Egypt, the UK and the USA. He gained considerable cultural awareness and experience working closely with military, civilian and government organisations from many nations.​
