On today's episode of The Business Game, we're sitting down with Carmen Williams, founder of Global Teams, a virtual assistant and remote staffing company that has built a team of more than 125 people across the Philippines and South Africa. 

With a background in science, starting university at 16, completing honors in fetal lung development, and spending a decade in healthcare strategy and compliance — Carmen knows firsthand that business growth requires letting go. 

After her mum was diagnosed with a terminal illness, Carmen walked out of her perfectly good job the same day she decided to leave, started a business as a single parent with two kids, and within six months had hired her first virtual assistant — a decision that landed her a $60,000 contract within a month. 

Her philosophy is simple but radical: learn enough to delegate, build trust without spy software, and protect your energy like it's the only currency that matters, because for business owners, it is.

Let's dive in,
with Carmen Williams:

• From science to entrepreneurship: the child genius who started university at 16
• The scientific way of thinking — and why it's both an advantage and a double-edged sword
• "What decision would I make today if I knew I was gonna die in 20 years?"
• Burning the boats: quitting on the spot and cashing out long service leave
• Why delusion is sometimes exactly what you need to start
• Hiring her first virtual assistant at six months in — and the $60K contract that followed
• Why founders struggle to let go: fear, status, and the cult of busy
• The delegation queen's rule: do it yourself first, then hand it over
• The 30/60-day plan for an overwhelmed business owner working 70-hour weeks
• "You don't have the brain space to delegate" — and how to fix that
• Layering on tasks bite-sized: don't overwhelm the VA or yourself
• The tasks founders hold onto too long (and why appointment-scheduling isn't one you should touch)
• LinkedIn marketing that actually works: connecting, posting, and adding value
• The pickle on TikTok: finding your boundaries on LinkedIn
• Authenticity wins: the underground car park video that outperformed everything
• Where AI falls short — and why human-to-human is the real premium
• AI avatars vs raw face-to-camera: what the data says about views
• Leading 125 people across two continents: trust, culture, and watercooler moments
• The finance team mistake: going from step 2 to step 10 without bringing people along
• Red flags when hiring a virtual assistant: the unicorn myth and the silence problem
• Why Global Teams doesn't use spy software — and still gets 200 applicants a day
• The leadership mistake that changed everything: slowing down on purpose
• Energy is money — why time isn't the currency business owners should be tracking
• White space: why Carmen takes Wednesdays off with zero contact from the team
• The anti-busy club: why not being busy should be the new status symbol
• The next chapter: Global Teams Academy — spreading the love beyond clients
• Quick-fire round: growth over profitability, human over AI, global talent over local
• How Carmen defines winning the business game: learning and having fun

If you're a founder, business owner, or service provider who is drowning in work, scared to delegate, wondering where AI fits in without losing the human touch, or simply exhausted by the cult of busyness, this episode is packed with honest reflections, practical delegation frameworks, and hard-won wisdom from someone who built a 125-person global team from a hospital room.

On today's episode of The Business Game, we're sitting down with Sarabpreet "SP" Singh, founder and principal consultant of Bhani Consulting, a Perth-based digital transformation and ERP consultancy helping organisations make better technology decisions without being tied to any particular vendor. With more than 16 years of experience across local government, aged care, not-for-profits, and Aboriginal corporations, SP has built a vendor-agnostic practice where doing the right thing sometimes means walking away from revenue and where the work comes when it's ripe, not when you chase it.

Building a strategic ecosystem, not just a client list
Trusting the process when you feel stuck and alone
Hukam: the spiritual practice of acceptance in business and life
Staying positive through exercise, family, and the right environment
Why work-life balance is a myth — and what to do instead
From Punjab to Perth: defining success on your own terms
It's not about revenue and numbers — it's about impact and change
How AI transformed a consultancy in 18 months (Claude, not Copilot)
The next chapter: building products and scaling beyond the founder
Why consistency in deep relationships is the key to winning clients
Quick-fire round: profitability over revenue, reputation over reach, and more
How SP defines winning the business game

On today's episode of The Business Game, we're sitting down with Derek Isaac, a business systems coach who helps general contractors and home builders bring structure, control, and accountability to growing construction businesses. After 20+ years in construction, contracting, and real estate investing, Derek has built a coaching program that fully systemizes general contracting companies from top to bottom.

Derek started as a contract framer who knew how to do the work but didn't know how to run the business. He spent years learning through trial, error, and expensive mistakes before building systems that transformed his own company and now dozens of contractors across multiple countries through Rapid Result Creators.

Let's dive in,
with Derek Isaac:

Why most construction owners build a business that traps them
Revenue vs. profit: the mistake quietly killing contractors
Why growth without systems makes everything worse
Not knowing your overhead margins 
"Stay humble and lean on other people for advice"
The first systems every contractor needs: file management, financials, project management
Why "firefighting" is the default mode for most owners
Markup vs. margin: the silent profit killer
Job costing and the feedback loop most contractors don't have
Hiring philosophy: build the system first, then hire the person
Keeping a database of every applicant you've ever received
Owner dependency: what it actually costs beyond time
Designing your business around your life, not the other way around
Why you probably don't need $5 million to live your dream life
Strategic scaling vs. blind growth
The shiny object syndrome: why contractors jump into real estate too early
The one thing every contractor should do this week to create traction
"You're not gonna figure it out on your own, and why would you want to?"
What a truly well-run construction business looks like

If you're a contractor, trades business owner, or entrepreneur who feels stuck working IN your business instead of ON it, this episode is packed with hard-won lessons, practical frameworks, and a clear roadmap for building a company that works for you, not the other way around.

On today's episode of The Business Game, we're sitting down with Timmi Stump, Chief Commercial Officer of Vesalius Longevity Labs, a company building the infrastructure for longevity and regenerative medicine from the ground up, pharmacy channels, a provider ordering platform, an elite clinic in Miami, and a telemedicine platform on the way.

Timmi spent 25 years in pharmaceuticals before jumping into integrative medicine six years ago. She's worked across CBD, lab services, pharmacy, and pharmaceutical manufacturing and she's bringing all of it together to build a company in a category that's moving faster than its own infrastructure.

Now Vesalius is going public, and Timmi is building a platform that takes longevity medicine from a gray market for elites to a compliant, accessible system for everyday people.

Let's dive in,
with Timmi Stump:

Why longevity medicine isn't about living to 150
What peptides actually are and how they work in your body
Why younger entrepreneurs should start optimizing now, not later
Building Vesalius from zero: no team, no playbook, no industry norms
Knowing what "bad" looks like and why that's the best competitive edge
The first 90 days: listening, sequencing, and finding the path of least resistance
The biggest mistake: supply chain, and what it cost the company
"Failure is not an option"  the cost of not taking the leap
The pivot: from gray market to pharmacy model in two weeks
Running two commercial models (elite clinic + telemedicine) under one brand
Luxury funds the first version: how early adopters pay for mass-market access
Women in midlife: the most overlooked customer in longevity medicine
What peptides she actually takes (and the stacking protocols that work)
Tech integration: systems crashing, bringing everything in-house, and doing it right
"You only get one chance" why rushing to market costs more than waiting
Hiring philosophy: "your vibe has to vibe with my tribe"
What keeps her up at night as the company goes public
The future of longevity medicine in the next 10–15 years
The one message for a 45-year-old burned-out business owner

If you're a founder, entrepreneur, or business owner trying to understand longevity as a growth market, build a company in a regulated industry with no playbook, or figure out how to scale without losing quality, this episode is packed with hard-won lessons, practical frameworks, and a look at why your energy and vitality might be your biggest business asset.

On today's episode of The Business Game, we're sitting down with Mike Harley, a franchise systems specialist with decades of experience building and scaling franchise operations across the car rental, automotive, parking, and recreation industries, including taking a company public and building the largest used car sales franchise network in the US.

Mike is now bringing that expertise to the US pharmacy industry through Galt Phranchise™ System , helping independent pharmacy owners build more sustainable businesses through a proven franchise model that adds revenue streams, national brand support, and data-driven territory protection, without taking over their existing pharmacy operations.

Let's dive in,
with Mike Harley:

• The state of independent pharmacies in the US: why they're closing at record rates and what's really behind the shrinking margins
• Why franchising is the answer for independent pharmacy owners and how Galt adds revenue streams without taking over their existing business
• Protected territories: how physician data and population mapping create franchise areas that actually have growth potential (and why it matters psychologically, not just commercially)
• Compliance in a highly regulated world: what happens when you put FDA and FTC in the same sentence, every single day
• The onboarding process: from application to NDA to a 60-120 day consultative cycle and the "look in the eye" commitment test Mike uses before signing any franchisee
• The hardest part to systemize: getting entrepreneurs to sit back, check their ego, and say "teach me"
• The airplane analogy: why the franchisor and franchisee need to be pilot and co-pilot and what happens when passengers see them fighting
• Hiring philosophy: why Mike hires 80% on personality and 20% on work ethic (and doesn't care about experience)
• The vision: building a billion-dollar company from a $100-150 million base  and the outside forces that could get in the way
• What keeps Mike up at night: it's always the franchisees

If you're a founder, entrepreneur, or healthcare business owner trying to understand how franchising could help you scale or you're an independent pharmacy owner watching your margins shrink and wondering what comes next, this episode is packed with practical frameworks, hard-won lessons, and a refreshing look at why the businesses that commit to a system today will own their market tomorrow.

On today's episode of The Business Game, we're sitting down with Huxley Peckham, founder of Tech Horizon Labs and creator of "Are You Found by AI", a platform that shows companies what AI tools are actually telling their customers about them.

Huxley helps founders answer the question he asks every business owner before working with them: can an AI agent visit your website and confidently understand what you do or are you invisible to the fastest-growing discovery channel in history?

Let's dive in,
with Huxley Peckham:

Why two-thirds of your website traffic is already AI
What AI sees when it visits your website (and why your awards, badges, and visuals don't count if they're not in machine-readable text)
The click-through crash: #1 on Google dropped from 15% to 8% 
Why customers referred by AI are 3x more likely to buy before they even land on your site
How to make your website machine-readable so AI recommends you in the top 3 queries
From Web3 to AI: how to spot the difference between a hype cycle and a real use case before it's obvious
The self-improvement loop: when AI can code, it codes itself 
Tokens vs staff: when it's genuinely cheaper to hire AI than a person

If you're a founder, entrepreneur, or business owner trying to understand how AI is already reshaping customer discovery, lead generation, and search, this episode is packed with practical frameworks, frontier insights, and a refreshing look at why the businesses that get found by AI today will own the market tomorrow.

On today's episode of The Business Game, we're sitting down with Tamika Tyson, founder and managing director of SCALE, a risk-informed advisory firm helping investors and portfolio companies understand the risks that shape performance, growth, and value. She's also the author of Win or Win, a #1 bestseller in multiple Amazon categories on getting the right people in the right roles at the right time.

After starting her career underwriting small business loans in a bank basement, testing covenants, calculating ratios, and discovering that balance sheets didn't always balance, Tamika learned how companies function from the ground up through their financial statements. That foundation took her from approving loans to structuring $20 billion energy and infrastructure deals across Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Along the way, she sat on both sides of the table making the calls and watching the bad ones, being the advisor and being the problem, and noticed the patterns that separate businesses that scale from the ones that stall. 

Today, she helps founders answer the question she asks every business owner before investing: are you optimising for return on investment, or return on ego?

Let's dive in,
with Tamika Tyson:

Why only 4% of US businesses ever break $1M in recurring revenue 
"Can you fire your niece?"  the one question she asks every founder before investing
Why your biggest customer might be the one quietly destroying your margins
The cash flow statement she asks for before anything else and why net income lies
The real cost of going out on your own, and why it's not financial
The three reasons teams fail: misalignment, parallel play, and return on ego
Speed vs. systems vs. mission: which founder archetype are you, and where will it trip you up
Why you must delegate the decision, not just the work and how to know if you're not
The team that gets you to $1M won't be the team that gets you to $10M
Your first two hires as a scaling founder, and why one of them should be nothing like you
AI is a tool, not a solution where it belongs in your business and where it doesn't
The three things every founder must focus on to level up: customers, margins, and your own limitations
Why you need to fire yourself from certain roles and how to know which ones
The career-defining moment: learning to ask for help, and the New York story that changed everything
"What's the best that could happen?" why reframing risk might be the most important question you ask this year

If you're a founder, entrepreneur, business owner, or anyone trying to scale past your first million without becoming the bottleneck, this episode is packed with practical frameworks on team building, delegation, financial literacy, return on ego, and building a business that wins on your own terms.

On today's episode of The Business Game, we're sitting down with Ryan Page, founder of Backpocket CPA, where he helps digital marketing agencies build financial operating systems that replace gut decisions with data and margin-driven strategy.

After graduating with a background in Big Four accounting and Fortune 500 finance, Ryan felt the work had no real impact. Sitting in a cube arriving and leaving in the dark, questioning whether this was the life he wanted. It wasn't until his son was born that he finally went all in, trading the false security of corporate life for the calculated risk of entrepreneurship. Today, he helps six and seven-figure agencies understand not just how much they make, but how much they actually keep.

Let's dive in,
with Ryan Page:

• Why leaving Big Four accounting was the best decision he never planned for
• The "financial intimidation gap", why agency owners freeze at their own books
• How a 30-40% gross margin is silently killing most service businesses
• Why top-line revenue is a vanity metric founders need to stop chasing
• What happened when he fired his biggest client and his second-biggest paused the same week
• How becoming a father forced him to stop half-going for his goals
• Building a global team across five countries while staying bootstrapped
• The 90-day system to get any agency's financial house in order
• Why firing fast is the hardest muscle to build and the most important one
• What true success looks like when you define winning on your own terms

If you're a founder, agency owner, or entrepreneur who's proud of revenue but nervous about margins, this episode is packed with practical lessons on financial systems, gross margin, concentration risk, delegation, hiring, and building a business that creates freedom instead of financial anxiety.

On this episode of The Business Game, Chaitra Vedullapalli, award-winning tech entrepreneur, global business leader, and co-founder and president of Women in Cloud, opens up about how she's turned economic access into a movement, unlocking over $600 million in opportunity for founders across 80-plus countries.

Chaitra's story is a powerful reminder that growth isn't just about strategy and scale. Sometimes, it's about learning to lead with generosity, trust, and access so you can build an ecosystem instead of just a business.

Let's dive in,
With Chaitra Vedullapalli:

• How her grandmother's chit fund, a trust-based lending circle with no bank or collateral, became the blueprint for Women in Cloud
• The moment she realised talent and money weren't the real barrier for founders, access was
• What "trust assets" are and why podcasts, technology, and networks all count as one
• The five laws of iconic leadership, and why the law of generosity is the missing piece in most businesses
• What she learned about fear and faith from speaking at the United Nations, TEDx, and G20
• How she raised $80 million at Microsoft, and why Women in Cloud launched with zero investment instead
• The mindset shift from "growth you extract" to "growth you unlock" when she left corporate for entrepreneurship
• How Women in Cloud scaled to 80 countries by letting the ecosystem's needs drive the roadmap, not assumptions
• Why she believes giving isn't about money, it's energy, time, talent, and recognition
• Her simple entry point for using AI: automate the most boring, time-draining task first
• Why she started producing films, including her documentary Icons, to turn storytelling into policy change
• Inside her upcoming book on Iconic Leadership and the eight trust assets behind the platform
• The real story behind her Guinness World Record attempts, and the unglamorous spreadsheets and verification work behind every big milestone
• How she decides what to say yes to across her many ventures, using an "access lens" instead of chasing everything
• Her four-step framework for opening doors that seem closed, from small public wins to consistent, credible showing up
• The one action she believes every business owner should take this week: make an introduction that costs you something and benefits you nothing directly

If you're a founder, entrepreneur, or leader trying to grow past isolation and build something bigger than your own bottom line, this episode is packed with practical wisdom on trust, generosity, and building an ecosystem instead of just a business.
