The truth is, every business will face a tough market at some point. You can’t control external factors like exports, consumption, or the economy, but you can control how you respond.

In this episode, I share the story of a winery that’s confronting the brutal facts, cutting costs responsibly, and at the same time rebranding, innovating, and creating new value for customers. It’s a reminder to focus on what you can control because that’s where resilience and momentum are built.

Sometimes, business just feels stuck. The to-do list is long, the energy is low, and it’s hard to get moving. In this episode, I talk about momentum and how to build it, not by tackling everything at once but by starting small.

Drawing on Jim Collins’ flywheel effect, I share why picking just one or two quick wins can create confidence, spark enthusiasm, and get the whole business moving again. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or weighed down, this is the push to get going.

Hands up if you want more freedom in your business to do what lights you up. The truth is, most of us get stuck because we’re afraid to let go, we rely too heavily on key people, or we fall into the trap of abdicating instead of delegating.

In this episode, I share how to build the right systems so your business can run without you, giving you back your time, your influence, and the freedom to focus on strategy, growth, and the work you love.

We’re often told to follow our passion, but that advice can fall flat when we don’t yet know where our strengths lie.

In this episode, I share Scott Galloway’s perspective that passion actually grows from talent, from discovering what you’re naturally good at and leaning into it. Just like the wand chooses the wizard in Harry Potter, our talents point us toward the work where we can create the most impact and joy.

If what you’re doing doesn’t light you up or play to your strengths, it might be time to rethink the path you’re on.

As business leaders, we’re under pressure to always have the answers. But when we jump to solutions without a real knowledge base, we’re just drawing on our biases and that’s bounded rationality.

A better way is to create hypotheses like a scientist: test what could happen, collect some data, and make evidence-based decisions. That’s how you move from guesswork to clarity and start making decisions that actually move your business forward

Every business needs a clear direction, but a compass alone won’t get you there. What keeps you steady, especially when times get tough, is the scaffolding you build around your business.

In this episode, I share insights from Adam Grant’s Hidden Potential and connect them to my Business by Design model. We’ll look at why values matter, how they guide behaviour, and how they shape the reputation that allows your business to grow and scale. If you’ve ever wondered what really holds your business up, this conversation will give you the answers.

You know what I find when I talk to business owners? They keep getting stuck in the weeds. Sound familiar?

Here's the thing - 80% of my conversations with clients is about people stuff, and it doesn't matter what industry you're in. The real problem? Most of us accidentally abdicate responsibility rather than delegate, and we're setting our people up for failure.

In this episode, I'll share why being the technical expert in your business can actually hold you back from growing. We'll talk about meeting your people where they're at (not where you want them to be), and I'll give you the tools to break through that entrepreneurial ceiling so you can finally work ON your business instead of always being stuck IN it.

If you're ready to stop doing everything yourself, this one's for you.

We all have the same 24 hours, so why does it feel like there’s never enough time? In this episode of The Green Room, Chris Green explores the paradox of time, from how people in the 1600s viewed it, to how modern life has us trading time for money with no limits. He challenges you to rethink how you use your hours, prioritise what truly matters, and focus on the big-ticket items that move the needle in life and business.
