    #76. Scaling a Sports Startup in the UK Padel Boom - Toby Bawden
    2026/02/12

    In this episode, I sit down with Toby, co-founder of Hexa Padel, one of the leading padel court installers in the UK.


    We talk about spotting early market opportunities, scaling a business in a booming industry, and what really happens behind the scenes when you’re building fast. Toby shares how he went from coaching tennis to installing over 200 courts a year, managing thousands of inbound enquiries, and navigating the operational chaos that comes with rapid growth.


    We dive into cash flow crises, business partner dynamics, contracts, failure, and the emotional toll of entrepreneurship. Toby explains why resilience, communication, and long-term thinking are what separate founders who survive from those who burn out.


    This is a powerful episode for anyone building a business, considering a pivot, or trying to scale in a competitive market while protecting their mental health and financial future.

    #75. Why Smart, Hardworking People Still Get Overlooked for Promotions
    2026/02/05

    In this episode, I sit down with Nicole Soames, a leadership and performance coach who works with senior executives, founders, and high performing teams.


    We talk about emotional intelligence, feedback, and why your ability to communicate, listen, and handle difficult conversations is what truly separates good leaders from elite ones. Nicole explains how leadership is less about control and authority, and more about influence, clarity, and creating the conditions for others to perform at their best.


    This is a powerful episode for anyone who wants to grow in leadership, improve their confidence in high pressure situations, and build stronger relationships through better communication.
