We explore Richard Earnest’s career, the impact of having been in war, serving as an officer. We examine the qualities of resilience and agility in leadership, the ways that leaders can bring ethics and humanity into their daily practice to build an effective culture and business. And we look at the difference of leadership in the military, politics and business.

A long form post that looks at some of the major underlying issues of our society and the distension of the notions of community and individuality.
We discuss Daniel’s entrepreneurial roots, his journey from Australia to England, the state of entrepreneurs today, the role and importance of tech for any startups or business, the pendulum swings of purpose, politics and business transformation. We also unpack ScoreApp and how and why it can help your business. The future of X (Twitter) and look at mental health issues among entrepreneurs.
With Paul Skinner, we dive into what purpose is and means. How to approach creating a purpose that drives greater value and growth, the purpose business case, what does it mean to upgrade your purpose, the notion of what constitutes “better” in making the world better.
Mike Yanguas began playing padel when he was just 7 years old. Now 21, playing right, he’s the 17th ranked player in the WPT. His partner for most of this year (and through the recording of this interview) has been the 44-year-old still-active doyen of padel, Fernando Belasteguín. On the WPT, he has a 68% win ratio. His best result this year was winning the Tau Cerámica Reus Costa Daurada Open 500, in Tarragona Spain. He has also reached 2 other semi-finals and 9 quarters. Enjoy this conversation with one of the stars of padel on the men’s tour.

We discuss the Chinese digital landscape, what are some of the salient trends, what can Western brands learn from Chinese corporations, the place for ‘purpose’ in China, the sense of trust that Chinese citizens have with the Chinese companies, leadership challenges and management styles… and much more.
Why we should consider taking more risks in business (and in life). Whether it’s ever-tighter security requirements, endless small print on medication, news headlines that are frequently preceded with an advisory warning, or more prosaically a kettle or cup of coffee marked “Caution: May be hot,” we’re trying to make life so safe that we can all live longer, if duller lives… And the safer we make it, the less resilient I fear we are becoming.
Tia Norton is Great Britain’s most recognisable professional padel player. The GB number 1 blazed a trail when, aged only 17, she became the first British woman ever to compete – and win – on the World Padel Tour, the international professional circuit. Since then she has enjoyed tournament success including the FIP London in 2022 and the inaugural Pro Padel League in June this year with the Las Vegas Smash. As the sport continues to grow in popularity in the UK, Tia is destined to become a household name, but the girl from Leamington Spa remains modest about her achievements. Now aged 20, her next goal is to break into the world top 100. Off court Tia is a passionate advocate for getting women and children into padel – a sport which, she says, has given her “so much enjoyment”.
