#134 No Support? No Problem - Hamish Tedeschi on Backing Yourself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hamish Tedeschi has spent more than 20 years making bets on himself that most people only think about. He is the CEO and founder of Mechanical Rock, a Perth-based tech company that solves hard business problems with software, and a shareholder and advisor across multiple businesses.
In this episode we get into the year that nearly broke him, what employee ownership really looks like in practice, why he believes secret job hunting is a form of deceit, and the quiet personal version of success he is still working toward every day.
Hamish is refreshingly honest about his own limitations. He talks about imposter syndrome, the struggle to delegate, and what success actually costs. The relationships. The time with your kids. The version of yourself that existed before the business got big.
Mentioned In This Episode:
15:52) The real problem underneath every tech problem
(20:39) The dream of employee ownership and why it is harder than it sounds
(26:18) The moment he genuinely thought it was over
(34:43) What 20 years and two countries forced him to unlearn
(39:06) What success actually costs that nobody talks about
(44:33) The unpopular opinion on secret job hunting
