How to embrace discomfort.

With Caspar Craven

What if the difference between incremental growth and breakthrough success came down to one thing... your mindset?

Caspar Craven

Caspar is no ordinary entrepreneur. He’s a man who has built and sold businesses, sailed around the world with his young family, and spent over a decade studying what drives high-performance teams and bold leadership. His latest book, The Big Bold Mindset, is the culmination of seven years of research into the real rules of leadership — not the ones we’ve inherited, but the ones we need to embrace in an era of relentless change.

In this episode, Caspar and Brendan dive deep into the mind traps holding SME leaders back from scaling. They talk about letting go of outdated beliefs, reframing failure, and the subtle habits that build courageous cultures. From the power of “feed-forward” conversations to instilling a company-wide bold mindset, Caspar shares practical tools that will empower you to think bigger, lead stronger, and grow faster — not just in revenue, but in purpose and potential.
