    "Success is shown through the people you surround yourself with."In this episode of The Quest for Success Podcast, Jam and Dylan Pathirana sit down with Hugo Inglis, a four-time New Zealand Olympic hockey player and founder of High Impact Athletes, for an honest conversation on what success actually looks like when you strip away the medals and the scoreboard.Hugo shares his early childhood and the sports experiences that shaped him, the cultural bonds and rituals that make New Zealand's sporting environment so distinctive, and why he believes small groups with the right culture can produce genuine breakthroughs. He reflects on competing across four Olympic Games, the goals and motivation that kept him going, and what he learnt from setbacks, injuries and the moments that didn't go to plan.The conversation moves beyond sport into Hugo's transition from elite athlete to impact-driven entrepreneur. He opens up about founding High Impact Athletes, an organisation that channels the influence and platform of athletes into global causes including climate action. He shares what he's learnt about building trust, storytelling and impact-driven teams, and why he believes the role of athletes in driving societal change is only just beginning.Hugo also offers practical advice for young athletes navigating their careers and thinking about life after sport, and reflects on the relationships, not the results, that he wants to define his legacy.This episode is a powerful reminder that the most meaningful form of success is rarely something you achieve alone.What we cover:Hugo's definition of success and why relationships matter mostEarly childhood and the sports experiences that shaped himBuilding high-performance teams and the role of cultureGoals and motivation in elite sportNew Zealand's sporting culture and why it punches above its weightCultural bonds and rituals that bind New Zealand teamsHugo's Olympic debut and career highlights across four GamesReflections on setbacks, injuries and Olympic disappointmentsMemorable moments and lessons from the Olympic experienceThe impact of culture and teamwork in elite sportTransition from athlete to impact-driven entrepreneurThe mission and work of High Impact AthletesBuilding impact teams and future visionAdvice for young athletes and life after sportHugo's vision for his legacy and what success means to him"Success is shown through the people you surround yourself with."

Jevon Le Roux says it should be the other way around.In this episode of The Quest for Success, hosts Dylan and Jam Pathirana talk with Jevon about his journey from professional surfer to business leader and startup founder. After building Nike's Hurley brand in South Africa and leading major retail and e-commerce businesses, Jevon Le Roux is the founder of Keeyu, an Ecommerce automation and AI Ecommerce Operations company. You can find Jevon and Keeyu at https://keeyu.com.Jevon shares how early failures shaped his approach to business, what he learned from making tough leadership decisions, and how a warehouse sale during COVID revealed a costly problem with online orders. He also explains why Keeyu's first product was more of a "vitamin" than a "painkiller," how customer feedback led the team to rethink its product, and what it takes to keep going through fundraising rejection and startup uncertainty.In this conversation: - Why Jevon sees success as constant evolution, not money or status - Lessons from professional surfing that carried over into business - What it takes to move from selling a product to building a company - How listening and collaboration can help leaders earn trust - The difference between a "vitamin" and a "painkiller" product - Why founders should find a real problem before building a solution - How Jevon and his co-founders divide responsibilities and handle challenges - What resilience, customer discovery, and fundraising look like in practiceWhether you're building a startup, leading a team, or considering a career change, Jevon's story offers an honest look at the setbacks, decisions, and persistence behind business growth.Chapters00:00 Intro and meeting Jevon Le Roux03:03 Jevon’s definition of success04:17 Growing up competitive and discovering surfing07:41 Family support and values for the next generation08:35 Funding a surfing career through hustle and self-promotion11:03 From professional surfing to building a business12:15 Retail sales vs. B2B SaaS go-to-market13:11 Learning to run a business while building Hurley15:05 Learning from failure and making reversible decisions16:13 Leading Gloria Jeans through a difficult turnaround17:11 Making SurfStitch profitable and learning e-commerce18:55 Leadership mistakes and earning trust21:13 Jevon’s 90-day plan for listening before making changes22:41 The COVID warehouse sale that revealed a hidden problem26:12 Turning that problem into the idea for Keeyu28:25 Validating the problem before building a solution29:55 Why Keeyu’s first product was a “vitamin,” not a “painkiller”33:29 How Keeyu helps retailers prevent order problems36:14 Why distribution and go-to-market matter38:12 Winning early customers and learning from product feedback40:36 Building a strong co-founder relationship42:02 Dividing roles across the founding team43:10 Raising $7 million and navigating fundraising46:29 What early-stage investors are really backing48:51 Returning to startup life after corporate leadership50:24 Product lessons and Keeyu’s evolving direction52:24 AI, changing roles, and the future of work54:02 Keeyu’s global growth plans55:25 The values Jevon hopes to pass on to his son57:05 Advice for corporate leaders considering a startup59:23 Jevon’s long-term definition of success#QuestForSuccess #JevonLeRoux #Keeyu #Entrepreneurship #StartupJourney #AI #Leadership #Resilience #ProductMarketFit #Fundraising #SuccessMindset #BusinessPodcast #Inspiration #FounderStory #EcommerceFollow us on all your favourite platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheQuestforSuccessPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Quest-For-Success-Podcast/61560418629272/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequestforsuccesspod/Twitter: https://x.com/quest4success_LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-quest-for-successTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thequestforsuccesspodWebsite: www.thequestforsuccesspodcast.com Please share this around to anyone you think will get value from it : )

  • From Engineer to CEO: How Cristina Marques Took Over the Family Business

    From Engineer to CEO: How Cristina Marques Took Over the Family Business
    2026/09/23

    "Success means you are free to choose."

    In this episode of The Quest for Success Podcast, Jam and Dylan Pathirana sit down with Cristina Marques for an honest conversation on leadership, legacy, and what it actually takes to lead, and eventually let go of, a family business.

    Cristina shares her early life and the influence of her parents, her unexpected journey from a technical career in engineering into leadership, and the moment she was asked to take over the family business her father had built. She reflects candidly on how that felt, the key lessons she carried from him, and what it actually took to build credibility and earn respect as a leader who hadn't always been part of the business.

    The conversation explores how she innovated inside a long-standing company, built a genuine culture of trust and transparency, and led the business through the uncertainty of COVID-19. Cristina also opens up about one of the most difficult chapters of her career, negotiating the sale of the family business, and what came after, from organising family and estate matters to figuring out her next chapter.

    She shares the values she hopes to leave her own children, and reflects on how her personal definition of success has evolved at every stage of her life and career.

    This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership isn't just about building something. Sometimes it's about knowing when, and how, to let it go.

    Cristina's early life and family influence
    What success means to Cristina, and how that's changed over time
