“Forget chasing benchmarks. They are records of other people’s standards and you can’t be sure they did all that was possible to set them.   Instead - BE THE BENCHMARK!” Steve was a police officer for many years, an executive in sales for many more and as CEO of Stephen Wren Consulting, currently partner some of Australia’s leading brands and companies.  His book, “The Chemistry of Selling” champions the dignity of being a professional salesperson and offers immediate options for working professionals and their leaders. I met Steve by chance about 10 years ago. He spent 2 days with our sales team teaching and guiding us through the power of chemistry and human connection. 10 years later and I’m still drawing from the lessons he shared. This is NOT TO BE MISSED.

We go deep on what it took for him to pull himself out of his destructive patterns, patterns that were destined to leave a wake of broken relationships, businesses and homes if left unchecked.  We’ll chat about… - What it takes to own your shit - How health, mindset and discipline are the key foundation - The power of DOING the WORK and how to influence people with your actions - Drinking, gambling, parenting, business, leadership, ownership and everything in between.

We originally shot this podcast as a video for our closest mates. What Ben and I discovered about showing up every day and doin ' the work was FAR TOO GOOD to keep to ourselves. Now... we've decided to release it for everyone. (Check out my Youtube channel for full video -  The Next Level Leader Project) Every dad, mum, husband, wife, partner, parent, friend... whoever needs a kick in the ass and a way to get their shit together - this is for you! This is an In-depth, uncut and candid conversation on how Ben and I have created new habits, broken old habits, influenced and transformed our lives to set the best example possible for our children.  Ben Hughes is one of my oldest friends. We grew up together from the age of about 8 years old. He's now married, father of 2 beautiful girls, GM of one of the Largest ANZ branches in Victoria, and my business partner. This is raw, uncut walk-thru of what we did, how we did it, and WHY we did it. 

You'll never find ultimate fulfilment if you keep anchoring your self-worth on someone else's subjective worldview. Your value of being "seen" as smart is out of your control. Valuing growth, learning and seeking insight IS in your control. Values are about you. What do YOU value? You don't need other people to validate your existence. Not your parents, your kids, your friends... anyone. It starts with what's important to you and is reflected in the world with your actions.

Rational thinking is a learnt skill. Our go-to response from 100's of 1000's of years of evolution is fight, flight or freeze. Nowadays, our need to drop everything immediately with ZERO thought and bolt to save our own backsides is far less important. But, we tend to bring this outdated adaptation into our everyday lives. Flying off the handle without asking any follow up questions. Jumping to conclusions because in the heat of the moment. Making assumptions, joining imaginary dots, acting before thinking - all lead by our immediate emotional response. I feel ANGRY therefore I'll act angry and lash out. Did you know you can feel ANGRY and NOT act Angry? You could act calmly, for example. Takes a bit of practice though - 100% f*****g worth it!
