This one’s a masterclass. In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Sharman, the Jedi Knight of growth in Allied Health, to talk about what it really takes to grow a business from the ground up—without burning out your team, your family, or yourself.

Daniel shares:

• How he went from solo to 40+ staff across two states.
• The systems he had to rebuild at 50, 500, and 1,000 clients.
• What keeps him grounded (hint: horse riding lessons and AFL tackles).
• The honest truth about leadership, pressure, and what most founders get wrong.
• Why taking on every client might be hurting, not helping.

If you work in NDIS, allied health, or you’re just trying to scale something meaningful—you’ll want to listen to this.

Craig Minter joins us to unpack one of the biggest pain points in NDIS: staying profitable without burning out. If you’re a provider, director, or operations manager wondering why the numbers just don’t add up anymore — this is for you.

We talk about:

• Why “profit first” is not selfish — it’s survival.
• What a healthy profit margin actually looks like.
• What to do if your profits are about to halve.
• How to make calm financial decisions (even under pressure).
• Building the right financial team (and what your accountant isn’t telling you).

This is not just about money — it’s about protecting your time, your energy, and your relationships.

If you’re staring at your zero balance and wondering what’s next — watch this. Then watch it again.

In this episode, we sit down with Leesa from The Mindful OT—a business coach for occupational therapists who’s flipping the script on what leadership and success really look like.

She’s not building an empire. She’s building something better: a business that works during school bells, protects her energy, and leaves space for real life.

If you’re an NDIS provider, allied health professional, or sole trader feeling stretched too thin, this one’s for you.

We talk about:
– Why you must stop working like a bad boss to yourself
– How to reverse engineer your business around your actual life
– Setting KPIs that are kind, not punishing
– The power of spreadsheets (yes, really)
– Why unmet goals aren’t failure—they’re feedback

Whether you're a CEO or just starting out, Leesa’s approach to values-based planning and running a guilt-free business will hit home.
