Greg Holmsen joins Greg Rogers for Episode 3 of Coalition of Willing.

Known to most as Zig, Greg’s story moves from Merredin and a third-generation family shoe business, through retail growth, pressure, reinvention, and the eventual creation of The Philippines Recruitment Company.

From the outside, it can look like reinvention.

From the inside, Zig says, it felt more like survival.

This conversation covers school, confidence, family business, backing yourself, debt, pressure, people, culture, international recruitment, changing lives through Filipino talent, the bucket system, removing choice, choosing your hard, and seeing life through a different lens.

At the centre of it all is one question:

What sort of life do you want?

Julia Ewert joins Greg Rogers for Episode 2 of Coalition of Willing: Finding the Words.

This conversation is about voice, sales, negotiation, better questions, process, kindness, and the courage to keep stepping into new arenas.

Julia talks about finding her voice, walking away from the corporate path, building her own business, and discovering that sales, negotiation and better questions are really about helping people find the words.

From early lessons in sales, debt, feedback and resilience, to learning from Harvard professors, FBI negotiators and NYPD hostage negotiators, Julia shares why if you do revenue, you do sales, why most businesses are winging it, why process and reps matter, and why negotiation is not a special occasion skill but an everyday one.

This is a conversation about being seen, being kind, getting things done, and continuing to step into the arena.

Episode 1 of Coalition of Willing with Greg Rogers begins with the origin story of the podcast itself.

Greg sits down with Matt Birney — businessman, former politician, and the person who first gave Greg the phrase Coalition of Willing.

In this first conversation, Greg and Matt talk about Kalgoorlie, business, politics, risk, reinvention, failure, pressure, and what it means to keep stepping into the arena.

Matt shares stories from his early days in the auto parts industry, building Goldfields Auto Spares, learning business by doing, moving into politics, and later working across the ASX and corporate world.

This episode sets the foundation for Coalition of Willing: real conversations with people who step forward, have a crack, do the work, take responsibility, and keep going when it would be easier not to.

Hosted by Greg Rogers.
