The Startups Drive
The Startups Drive is a podcast built on real, unscripted conversations with people from the startup and business world.
Hosted by Kieran Longhurst, every episode is an open, unfiltered discussion with founders, entrepreneurs, operators, and business leaders — no scripts, no agendas, just honest conversations about what it actually takes to build and grow in today's business landscape.
From early-stage startup founders to seasoned corporate professionals, we talk about the real experiences, challenges, and lessons that don't always make it into the highlight reel.
Topics we've explore so far:
- Startup founding and early-stage growth
- Business strategy and scaling
- Sales, leadership, and team building
- Entrepreneurship and career journeys
- Career transitions and entrepreneurship
- Leadership, accountability, and team building
- The Australian startup and business ecosystem and more.
In season 3 we are bringing you more founder stories, more business leaders conversations, more entrepreneurs and operators insights — the raw, unfiltered journeys of people building companies from the ground up.
If you're a founder, entrepreneur, or someone navigating the business world — pull up a seat.

Transitioning Your Career And Goal Setting
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I sit down with Natalie Tran — a business and transition coach and former accountant and finance executive — who helps people navigate their career changes and business growth through her business, Transition With Purpose. With a unique blend of strategy, practical experience and thoughtful coaching, Natalie empowers individuals to make intentional, fulfilling shifts in their lives.
We cover everything from recognising when it’s time for a career change, to overcoming the fear and uncertainty that often comes with it. Natalie also breaks down the art of effective goal setting — sharing how to turn big dreams into small, achievable steps that actually stick.
Whether you’re considering a career pivot, feeling stuck in your current path, or just looking to set more meaningful goals, this conversation is packed with actionable insights and inspiration to help guide your next move.
Tune in for a grounded, eye-opening conversation that might just be the push you need.
