In this episode, Simon and Rusty reconnect after a couple of months to talk leadership, capacity, and what it really takes to perform at your best. From coaching entrepreneurs to working with elite sports teams, they explore the pressure of modern life, the importance of creating space, and why there’s no single formula for doing your best work. 

The conversation gets into perfect days, managing energy, challenging assumptions, and the ripple effect of helping one person create more capacity. With stories from coaching, community, exercise, and their own lives, Simon and Rusty make the case for more individual approaches to performance—and finish with a brilliant new word to live by: pronoia, the belief that the universe might just be conspiring in your favour. 

 

In this episode:

  • Capacity, burnout, and the modern pace of life — why creating space and boundaries is becoming essential for leaders and entrepreneurs. 
  • Finding your perfect day — how designing work around what brings out your best can change performance and wellbeing. 
  • Why one size doesn’t fit all — challenging standardised approaches and finding the right conditions for each individual. 
  • The power of giving back — how community, contribution, and helping others can create energy and build capacity. 
  • Pronoia: a different way of looking at things — challenging assumptions, choosing optimism, and asking what might happen if you believed opportunities were working in your favour.
