For many SMB owners and leaders, the hard part is knowing where to start, what actually matters and who to trust.

Luke brings more than two decades of technology experience, including over 10 years dedicated to cybersecurity. He works with leaders across multiple industries to strengthen security, meet regulatory obligations and reduce cyber risk. A former veteran with experience in peacekeeping operations, Luke brings a practical, mission-driven approach to protecting businesses. His expertise spans governance, risk and compliance (GRC), business continuity, disaster recovery and operational resilience. He has advised government agencies, multinationals and mid-sized businesses, and is known for making complex cyber challenges easier to understand and act on. 🎧 In this episode, we chat about: - The biggest cybersecurity challenges facing SMBs today - Why so many businesses struggle to know where to start - Common cybersecurity mistakes and misconceptions - What to look for when choosing a cybersecurity partner - How to see beyond marketing claims and technical jargon - What businesses should expect from a modern security provider - Luke’s number one piece of cybersecurity advice for SMB owners Cybersecurity isn’t simply an IT problem.

Big output, quick thinking, always delivering. What often gets missed is the pressure sitting underneath it. In this episode of Saul Searching – The Saul Recruitment Podcast, I’m joined by ADHD Executive Coach and Founder of The Addvocacy Project, Caroline Beresford, to unpack how ADHD can show up in high-performing professionals and why it’s so often overlooked. With 20+ years in corporate and a background in HR, Caroline blends real-world experience with evidence-based coaching and lived insight. The conversation goes beyond awareness and gets into what actually needs to change inside workplaces. We talk about the subtle signs leaders miss. The systems that create friction without realising it. The hidden cost of constantly “coping” at work. Caroline shares practical ways hiring managers, recruiters and leaders can make immediate shifts. Better onboarding. Clearer communication. Smarter expectations. Small changes that make a real difference. There’s also a strong focus on what neuro-affirming workplaces actually look like and how to support performance in a way that’s sustainable. 🎧 In this episode, we cover: - ADHD in high performers and why it’s often missed - Workplace habits that create unnecessary pressure - Simple shifts leaders can make straight away - Rethinking performance beyond just output - Setting people up for success from day one This one’s honest, practical and worth your time.

IT MSP/Cloud Recruiter! 🎙️ Podcast Host! 25 years exp. recruiting all levels of Tech, Sales, Consulting and Management across Oz & NZ! $2000 referral fees 👉 0414659800 ================================================================== This episode hits home for founders who’ve built something solid… but feel stuck in that frustrating middle ground. You’re past the startup chaos, yet not quite scaling the way you imagined. Sound familiar? 👀 Enter Cam Elliott - a revenue growth expert who’s spent over two decades helping businesses turn messy pipelines into predictable performance. No fluff. No theory-heavy advice. Just practical strategies that actually move the needle. Cam’s track record speaks for itself. From launching and scaling GoodHabitz Australia to building and exiting Elevate Corporate Training, he knows what it takes to grow in real-world conditions. These days, through The Growth Engine, he partners with founders to tighten systems, sharpen forecasts, and unlock consistent growth. This chat is packed with honest reflections, sharp insights, and those “that’s exactly what I’m dealing with” moments 💡 🔥 What we get into: - Why the 3-5 year business stage is where many founders stall - The shift from being the doer to becoming the strategic leader your business needs - Subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs you’ve hit a plateau - The habits and behaviours founders need to drop immediately - Systems that actually work - and how to avoid a graveyard of unused tools - Where AI fits into scaling without overcomplicating things 🤖 - Reigniting energy and drive once the early hustle buzz fades - The belief patterns holding founders back… and what to replace them with 💬 Cam brings a refreshing level of honesty to this conversation. There’s no sugar-coating here. Growth requires clarity, discipline, and the right structure. When those pieces click into place, everything changes. One of the standout moments? The idea that many founders don’t have a growth problem - they have a focus and execution problem. That hits hard. 🚀 Who this episode is for: Founders navigating that awkward growth plateau Business owners tired of inconsistent revenue Leaders ready to step out of the day-to-day and think bigger Anyone looking to build a business that runs with them, not because of them ✨ A quick takeaway: Progress doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from doing the right things, consistently, with the right systems behind you. Simple in theory. Hard in practice. That’s where this episode delivers real value. 👉 Connect with Cam & learn more about The Growth Engine: https://www.thegrowthengine.com.au/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronelliot/  🎯 Enjoying the podcast?

Louise Archer isn’t just another voice in recruitment. She’s leading the charge to flip the whole model on its head. If you’re still clinging to the contingent cliff edge, she’s the one holding the ladder down – and giving you a reality check on the way up. As the CEO of Retrained Search, Louise has made it her business to help recruiters escape the chaos of contingent work. Her solution? Retained search – done properly, with confidence, clarity and zero fluff. Since 2018, she’s helped recruiters ditch the free-for-all and step into a model that values their time, expertise and mental health. In this episode, Louise joins Saul for a straight-talking, no-hype conversation about what recruitment really needs right now – and why those who don’t adapt might get left behind. What’s inside: 💥 Why AI isn’t the enemy – but it won’t save sloppy recruitment 💥 The real difference between retained and contingent (yes, we go there) 💥 How to get clients to pay upfront – and why they’ll thank you for it 💥 The mindset shift that changes everything once recruiters go retained 💥 When retained isn’t the right call (yep, it’s not a one-size-fits-all) 💥 A killer story of one recruiter who went from “this’ll never work” to smashing it on retainers 💥 How to use tech without losing your human edge 💥 What Retrained Search actually offers (it’s not a cookie-cutter course) 💥 And yes – we talk about her podcast too! This one’s for the recruiters who’ve had enough of working for free. For agency owners who know something’s gotta give. For the ones who want to do the job well – and get paid properly for it. Louise brings energy, honesty and hard-earned truth. She doesn’t train for the sake of it – she helps people believe they can do better, then gives them the tools to prove it. 🚨 Recruiters, agency owners, business leaders – don’t miss this. 👉 Listen now, take notes, and get off the contingent hamster wheel once and for all.

Joining us is the ever-brilliant Andrew Rodger – founder and CEO of recMate and electrifyAI – a bloke who’s been around recruitment longer than LinkedIn.

She’s a Business Strategist with a serious edge – part clarity activator, part energetic firestarter – and she’s the person women turn to when they hit that crashing moment of “I just can’t do business like this anymore.” This isn’t a fluffy conversation about mindset hacks or morning routines. Ellie gets real about what’s underneath the burnout, the overthinking, and the self-doubt spiral. It’s not about pushing through – it’s about pulling back. And reconnecting with what you already know deep down. We chat through: - The real reason strategy alone won’t cut it when you’re stuck in self-doubt - What Ellie means by “success from soul – not stress” (and how to start shifting towards it) - Why perfectionism feels safe... and what to do when it’s running the show - How to tap back into your energetic blueprint without needing a full life overhaul - What it looks like day-to-day to lead from clarity instead of chaos - Plus how Ellie works with women who are ready to do things their way – for real this time This episode feels like a warm hug and a powerful nudge.
