  • From burnout to balance: lessons in product, writing and culture with Harry Flett.
    2025/04/22
    What makes a team thrive? According to Harry Flett, it's not just strategy or shipping speed; it’s how you make people feel. In the latest Operator episode of Wild Hearts, Harry, VP of Product, takes us behind the scenes at Tracksuit, where high-output product culture meets silliness, storytelling, and some surprisingly heartfelt moments. We explore Harry’s frameworks for thinking clearly, building with velocity, and designing for both customers and teammates. In this episode, we cover: 💬 The power of the say-do ratio and how reputation is built through consistent follow-through 🧠 Why burnout often stems from being “too helpful”—and how Harry’s learning to step back 🌳 The leaf-branch-trunk-root framework that’s helping Harry delegate and build ownership ⚖️ Why great product leadership requires balancing 10,000-foot thinking with shipping the next feature ✍️ How writing is Harry’s superpower—and why it’s essential for clarity in teams, strategy, and scaling 🏆 The hiring philosophy that helped Tracksuit hire the best people This episode is a playbook for leaders—whether you're in product, people, or operations—who want to scale with clarity, delegate with intention, and build a culture that people genuinely want to be part of. It’s packed with insights on communication, prioritisation, and the kind of leadership that drives real momentum.

    2025/04/15
    The internet is drowning in ‘slop’- and George Howes has a fix. The former creative lead at Eucalyptus believes the solution to this ‘creative problem’ starts with a feedback loopand ends with a new kind of intelligence. After leading one of Australia’s fastest-growing startups through a wave of performance marketing breakthroughs, George walked away to build something better. That “something” became Magic Brief: a tool that captures creative intelligence, not just analytics. In this episode of Wild Hearts, George takes us inside the machine. From his 15 principles of high-performing teams to how AI can (and should) unlock—not replace—creativity, this is a wide-ranging conversation going deep on marketing and product. In this episode, we cover: 📈 The 15 traits of high-performing creative teams 🧠 Why feedback loops—not freedom—unlock the best work 🤖 How AI can enhance creative strategy without replacing it 🎨 Why taste still matters in a world of AI-generated content George Howes gives a masterclass in the intersection of AI, creative strategy, and product velocity. If you're in marketing, this is one you’ll want to play twice.

  • Why Australia’s defence needs tech founders: Vu Tran of Black Sky Industries on building missiles with a startup mindset.
    2025/04/08
    What motivates a founder to shift from building a billion-dollar edtech unicorn to manufacturing missiles? And what happens when your career becomes a response to something deeply personal — the kind of world your kids might grow up in? Vu Tran is a doctor, a co-founder of Go1, and now the co-founder of Black Sky Industries — Australia’s first scalable missile and solid rocket motor manufacturer. In this episode, Vu opens up about the moral tipping point that drove him into defence, the vulnerability he sees in Australia’s current military setup, and why he believes our future depends on becoming, in his words, “an echidna — small, underestimated, and far too prickly to bite.” This is a conversation about personal mission, national security, and the power of bringing startup speed to one of the slowest-moving industries on the planet. In this conversation, we cover: 🏥 The emotional toll and grounding power of Vu’s continued work as a doctor in Logan 🚀 How Black Sky Industries is tackling lethality and building solid rocket motors at scale 🛡️ What Vu means by “making Australia an echidna” — a defence philosophy grounded in self-reliance and deterrence 💣 Why no one wants to touch “the pointy stuff” — and why Vu’s choosing to anyway 🌍 How Australia’s current reliance on foreign defence suppliers makes us vulnerable — and what needs to change 💡 Lessons Vu took from scaling Go1 into a unicorn — and what he’s left behind at Black Sky 📈 Why defence tech is the next trillion-dollar market opportunity — and why Vu wants more founders to enter the space. This episode is a raw and revealing look at how one founder is turning personal responsibility into national-scale impact — and why Australia needs more entrepreneurs willing to tackle the hardest problems.
