Debs Brocklesby was a performance analyst for the New Zealand Olympic Cycling team — a specialised, high-achieving role she'd built her identity around. She's now the founder of Stoked NZ, a multi-million dollar towlie company that started from her garage.
In this episode, we get into:
- What it feels like to be stuck in a job that looks great on paper
- How Debs let go of who she was professionally and started over
- Limiting beliefs — and why they don't disappear when things start working
- Rebuilding after your original career dreams are dashed
- How to press forward in the face of adversity
- How she built Stoked NZ from her spare room with no money, no business background, and no plan B
- What it means to build something genuinely purposeful — not just profitable
Debs resource recs:
Start With Why — Simon Sinek (book)
Chapter One — Daniel Flynn, founder of Thank You Social Enterprise (book — the one that's horizontal instead of vertical)
A vision board — and the practice of writing a letter to yourself as if your goals have already happened (a practice she learned from her psychology mentor)
If you're stuck on a career ladder you've climbed and can't quite see how to get off it, give this a listen.
