What if the real issue in your business isn’t that you're busy… it's that you're focused on the wrong things?

In this special live episode of the Marketing 4 Business Podcast, Scott sits down with high-performance coach and author James Laughlin during a recent Digital Influence Leadership Live Client Breakfast in Christchurch.

James has worked with world champions, global leaders, elite athletes, and high-performing organisations. In this conversation, he shares practical lessons on leadership, culture, priorities, and performance, including insights from coaching teams in some of the most extreme environments on Earth.

From helping teams prepare for nine months of isolation in Antarctica to working with elite athletes chasing world titles, James has seen firsthand what separates high performers from everyone else.

If you’re a business owner, leader, or entrepreneur trying to build a better team while managing the demands of growth, this episode is packed with practical ideas you can apply immediately.

What happens when a business owner spends decades building a successful company… but never builds a plan for life after it?

In this episode of the Marketing 4 Business Podcast, Scott sits down with Andrew Nuttall, Financial Adviser and Co-Founder of Cambridge Partners, to unpack the financial realities many business owners avoid thinking about until it’s too late.

Andrew has spent more than 35 years helping individuals, families, and business owners grow and protect their wealth. In this conversation, he shares the lessons he’s learned from decades in financial advice, including why relying solely on selling your business as your retirement plan can be risky.

From succession planning and giving key people skin in the game, to building systems that make your business less dependent on you, Andrew explains how business owners can start creating real long-term wealth and freedom.

If you’re building a business and want to make smarter decisions about your future, retirement, and financial security, this episode will challenge how you think about wealth and long-term planning.
