What does it take to push yourself to the absolute limit and keep going for a cause bigger than yourself?

Imagine you’re cycling 3,000 miles in 12 days on no more than 2 hours sleep a day. You feel exhausted, with nothing left to give, but important decisions need to be made to achieve your goal.

This was the reality for my guest in this episode, Kurt Matzler, one of the world’s most cited strategy professors and an elite ultra-endurance cyclist who has completed the Race Across America, often described as the toughest race in the world.

We dive into how Kurt blends his expertise in strategy with the demands of ultra-cycling: from meticulous planning and team building to the mental resilience needed to ride for 22 hours a day across deserts and mountain ranges.

It’s a conversation that will inspire you to think bigger, plan smarter, and persist longer. And perhaps, to take on a challenge you once thought impossible.

“Be willing to do everything that is needed to achieve your big goal” – Kurt Matzler

You’ll hear about:

• Race Across America: the world’s longest bike race

• Building mental toughness before the race
• The power of delegating decisions to a team
• Lessons from setbacks and resilience
• Creating a high-performance support crew

• Turning big goals into smaller milestones
• The impact Kurt wants to have on the world

What happens when your boss is the problem?

A good boss can inspire you and be a catalyst for your career, whilst bad bosses limit your potential, putting the brakes on your trajectory.

Mita shares raw, funny and moving stories from her career, showing how toxic dynamics shape us, and how inclusion and vulnerability can transform workplaces.

Immigrant entrepreneurs have an outsized impact in business and society.

80% of billion dollar startups have founders or senior executives who are first or second generation immigrants. So, what can we learn from them?

In this episode I am joined by Neri Karra Sillaman, author of Pioneers: 8 Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs. Neri’s research shows that immigrant entrepreneurs have a unique ability to reframe failure. Something she has done herself as a refugee turned entrepreneur.

Neri shares how constraints can be turned into an advantage for entrepreneurs as they look to blend their home and new cultures in the services and products they create.

She underscores the importance of quality, community, and a focus on impact rather than personal gain. Lessons many leaders could learn to improve their organisations.

“Immigrant entrepreneurs don’t hear “no” the way that you do” – Neri Karra Sillaman

You'll hear about:

• How immigrant entrepreneurs reframe failure as fuel for growth.

• The role of community in building resilience and drive.

• Why a clear, long-term vision sustains entrepreneurial momentum.

• Why integrity and quality matter more than rapid scale.

• The personal sacrifices behind building a meaningful business.

• How cross-cultural identity becomes a strategic advantage.

• The mindset shifts needed for true business longevity.

Given the chance, how would you design an organisation from scratch?

I bet it wouldn't look close to what we see in many established organisations. You’d want more autonomy, greater transparency and less bureaucracy. Well, what if that were possible?

In this episode I am joined by Pim de Morree, Co-founder of Corporate Rebels, to explore self-managed organisations. Pim shares insights from his experience creating environments where employees thrive, and organisations excel, with not a manager in sight.

Pim's expertise offers a masterclass in rethinking traditional management and embracing a future where work is both meaningful and impactful for all involved.

So, are you ready to revolutionise how you lead and run your organisation?

“Decentralised decision-making fosters innovation and agility in modern workplaces” – Pim de Morree

You'll hear about:

●      How self-managed organisations prioritise autonomy.

●      The ways employees take ownership and lead without traditional hierarchical constraints.

●      Why self-managed organisations see higher levels of employee engagement and satisfaction.

●      Full transparency and accountability are critical.

●      How decision-making distributed across teams can foster innovation and agility.

●      The cultural shifts required to transition to a self-managed organisation.

 About Pim de Morree:

Pim de Morree, co-founder of Corporate Rebels and Krisos, embarked on an entrepreneurial journey after leaving a frustrating corporate job. His passion for reimagining the workplace drove him to travel worldwide, studying pioneering organisations.

At Krisos, an impact fund, Pim and the team acquire traditional companies and transform them into forces for good.

Are you a night owl or a morning lark?

For many of us the traditional working day just doesn’t suit our circadian rhythms. We’re called into a meeting or slumped over a desk at 8am but hyper focused as we’re about to leave the office and head home. What if work took our biological clocks into account?

In this episode I am joined by Camilla Kring, author of Chrono leadership. We talk about the costs of rigidity in work patterns, and what it takes to develop smarter, more flexible arrangements.

Camilla’s ideas are revolutionary; she talks about taking the bias away from the 5am club and creating better conditions in the workplace for all. Surely that is something we would all want to get behind.

So, when do you perform at your best during the day?

“Synchronise your work, family, and biological rhythms for real performance.” - Camilla

You'll hear about:

·      How circadian rhythms dictate our natural sleep and wake cycles.

·      Why understanding your chronotype can enhance productivity.

·      The fact most people are not morning persons, yet workplaces favour early risers.

·      How living out of sync with your internal clock can harm health.

·      Flexibility in work hours can lead to higher productivity and well-being.

·      Trust in employees being crucial for implementing flexible work schedules.

·      Why synchronising work and family rhythms can improve life quality.

More about Camilla:

Camilla Kring, as the founder of Super Navigators, has dedicated the last 20 years to helping individuals navigate their lives and organisations create flexible and inclusive work cultures that accommodate different chronotypes and family structures. She has worked across Europe, China, Latin America and the Middle East with companies including Abbott, Medtronic, Roche and Novo Nordisk.

Camilla's insights have been featured in the New York Times, the BBC and the Guardian. She is the author of six books and a TEDx speaker. She holds a Master of Science in Engineering and a PhD in work-life balance from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

What if the person who raised you was also the one who stole your sense of self?

Parents should nurture, protect and believe in you, not distort your reality, drain your self-esteem and leave wounds no one else can see.

In this episode I sit down with Kathleen Saxton, psychotherapist, entrepreneur and author of My Parent the Peacock. We go beyond the surface-level label of narcissism to uncover the full spectrum of behaviours, from the overtly grandiose to the quietly manipulative.

This is not a conversation about blame, but about liberation. It’s about recognising what’s been taken from you, understanding why trying to change the narcissist will never work, and learning how to reclaim your voice, your boundaries and your future.

If you’ve ever been made to doubt your own reality, whether by a parent, a partner or a leader, this episode could be the turning point.

“You absolutely can recover.” – Kathleen Saxton

You'll hear about:

• How narcissistic parenting shapes identity and self-worth.
• The long-term impact of emotional neglect and control.
• Why recovery starts with recognising patterns of manipulation.
• How to rebuild boundaries and personal agency.
• The role of therapy in healing from family trauma.
• Why self-compassion is critical in breaking the cycle.
• How to navigate relationships after narcissistic abuse.
• Practical steps to reclaim your voice and autonomy.

Kathleen trained in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regents University and continued a further 5 years of study in Integrative and Humanistic psychotherapy and supervision at the renowned CCPE in London.

When the world is breaking apart what kind of leader do you need to be?

With the environmental, technological and societal challenges we face our systems and playbooks can no longer be fit for purpose. So, who must we become to tackle the most pressing problems we are facing?

My guest in this episode, Caroline Stokes, author of AfterShock to 2030 is trying to answer these questions. Her book is a wakeup call for leaders, arguing that if we want to thrive in the next five years, we must rewrite, not just tinker with the operating system of leadership.

We explore how CEOs can use AI as an enhancement, as a multiplier, rather than a mask, and why neuroplasticity might just be able to help us with the meaning of life.

There couldn’t be a more prescient, deeply personal conversation that is essential for leaders of today and tomorrow.

So, what kind of leader are you going to be?

“Hope is the first step.” – Caroline Stokes

You'll hear about:

• Why leading in systemic shocks requires a new operating system.
 • How hope becomes an antidote to global complexity and despair.
 • Why radical listening can transform organisational awareness and action.
 • The role of AI as a leadership multiplier, not a mask.
 • How to regulate your nervous system to lead under pressure.
 • Why pattern recognition is essential for navigating uncertainty.
 • The importance of extreme accountability in leadership teams.
 • How to leave behind outdated mindsets and legacy systems.

How well do you communicate?

A simple question on the face of it, but are you really winging it?

Whether it’s via email, that first impression, or contributing to meetings, there are ways we can improve how we contribute. That’s exactly what I discuss in this episode with my guest Chris Fenning, an award-winning author on the topic of communication.

“Good communication requires building good habits.”– Chris Fenning

You'll hear about:

Do you know what your digital footprint is?

We all know that overusing digital devices isn't good for us. But do we know the full extent of what we leave behind when we use our phones or laptops?

In this episode I am joined by Professor Sandra Matz to discuss the digital footprints we leave for companies and other individuals to use. Sandra talks about the misuse of digital footprints and the actions we can take to take back control of it.

We also explore what can be done to create regulation change in regard to the use of our data. A quite shocking but essential episode for all of us as we leave our digital trail in the world.

“Don’t stop at what’s legal. Think about what’s ethical.”– Sandra Matz

You'll hear about:

·      Digital footprints encompassing both explicit identity claims and behavioural residue.

·      How people are often unaware of the extent of their digital footprints.

·      Ways machine learning can provide insights into mental health and behaviour.

·      How data can be used ethically to improve individual well-being.

·      Why data considerations must be ethical as well as legal.

·      Federated learning can protect user data while still providing insights.

·      Regulation being necessary to protect personal data.

·      Why collective action is essential for meaningful change in data regulations.
