Scaling, Sales Teams & Sanity: A Real Talk Leadership Ep with Courtney Hill

We’re jumping straight into the juggle—leading teams, raising kids, scaling careers, and still trying to have a life that feels like yours.

Joined by the brilliant Courtney Hill—tech leader, mum of three boys, and freshly obsessed guitar learner—we talk about what leadership actually looks like behind the scenes. No fluff. No corporate spin. Just honest convos about performance, burnout, boundaries, and what it takes to do big things without losing your mind.

This ep is full of big truths, bigger laughs, and permission to not have it all figured out.

We asked:

• What does good leadership actually look like in 2025?
• Can performance management not suck?
• How do you scale when you’re raising a young family?
• Do you really need to be a natural-born leader?
• How do you make time for joy (when you barely have time to pee)?
• And what's the deal with travelling the country 70 flights a year?
