Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
What an inspiration! Today we interview Sara Flay the CEO of Legacy International Group, who at 23 years of age, was told she would never work again. Refusing to take this as the answer Sara has gone on to set up multiple businesses and now runs Legacy International.
We hear stories from Sara of how she overcome this set back at such a young age and became who she is today, her views on leadership and the correlation between age and being a leader (or lack thereof!)
Sara discusses with us her high degree of transparency with her team when she is having a bad day and needs to take some time out - for example, how open and comfortable would you be sharing this with your team?
Big thank you to Sara for sharing your stories and your insights into leadership!

Callum and Rebecca share their views on the podcast episode with Taz Thornton.
Here is the original podcast description
A very exciting and energetic discussion with Taz - an award winning coach trainer and motivational speaker, likened to Tony Robbins but with pink hair!
Taz shares with us her very personal story of working in a corporate job at a young age and unfortunately being very unhappy, feeling down and struggling with depression, wondering is this what it's all about? It was around this time when Taz found solace in helping others who were feeling the same and helping them get through tough times and ultimately helped her out of her own situation. Taz goes into more details around this and if you're in need of an uplifting story - have a listen...
We talk about Taz's views on leadership and Taz strongly believes that the role of leading teams needs to change. From encouraging leaders to allow employees to use social media for positive purposes such as talking positively about their employers and also empowering teams to have an opinion, all of this is underpinned by truly getting to know your employees and understand their primary motivating factors. A very useful and insightful listen for anyone working with others in their team!
Big thank you to Taz for sharing your story and your views on leadership - enjoy everyone!

Welcome to another episode of our Lead to Succeed podcast, today we are joined with Tony Sciarrotta, Executive Director of the Reverse Logistics Association. Tony shares some really useful insights into his views and approach to leadership.
We move on to discuss, when working at Phillips, how Tony was tasked with handling and figuring out how to significantly reduce the returns rate and problems they were having with their products. This was very much an emerging sector at the time, and there were very little or no best practices or industry-wide policies to handling reverse logistics.
Tony shares with us how he took a comprehensive approach to this problem by looking at the entire process of how Philips's products were packaged, marketed, their instructions manuals and other areas, not just 'how do we reduce returns?' - a very interesting and technical discussion with Tony. If getting down to the details of solving significant problems is your area - this is the podcast for you!
Thank you very much to Tony for being on our podcast and thank you to you for listening, enjoy!

Review of our discussion with Steve Rix.
Original podcast description:
You are going to love this podcast with Steve Rix of #imaginethat. Steve shares his mission to achieve world peace and liberty for everyone using imagination and play and how he is achieving this with 100 hours of video content to be aired on Amazon Prime and a United Nations project.
One of his first businesses, a scuba diving school in the desert (yes the desert!) built to over $1 million in sales in 12 months with 21 staff where he learnt after a close shave with a mutiny from his team that the art of leadership is letting go, listening and letting others lead.
Having made $millions and lost it he realised that he was the common factor, from which he learnt a lot about leadership. Now Steve is razor-focused to achieve his gigantic and ambitious goal of releasing the superhero in us all and solving the worlds biggest problems through imagination and play.
Listen to his three big pieces of practical advice to achieve more in your life than you might think is possible.
