Two vantage points, one problem. Michael Hall (WildWorks) looks in from outside. Jon Young Flores (Blue House Advisory) looks out from inside. Together, they call it Business Half Full: the biggest threat to a business is rarely the problem itself, it's misreading it as a threat instead of an opportunity.
Each episode, two old friends unpack the big issues confronting executives such as stalled restructures or programs, leading through uncertainty, AI, culture and strategy execution. Different angles, same outcome: turning a challenge into an opportunity.
New episodes every other Monday.
The pace of work, the way people work, performance expectations, organisational shifts and rapidly changing business environments have changed dramatically over the past decade.
Michael Hall and Jon Young Flores talk about what that all means for burnout and ways for leaders and teams to tackle the issue.
This episode is about Burnout: getting clear on both your personal and professional purpose is vital in order to keep what you do enjoyable and sustainable!

Strategy Execution: Maintaining the Momentum
Strategy can be easy to write and hard to deliver. Michael Hall and Jon Young Flores look at what can make all the difference.
This episode includes the importance of alignment and why cadence must be more than just a reporting exercise … something that actually builds trust. They also get into why culture has to be demonstrated versus declared and what should be rewarded and recognised week to week.

Are You Building, Growing or Running?
The essence of great Leadership hasn't changed much in fifty years. What has potentially changed is the intensity of environments and how little space is left to stop - and think.
This episode covers looking after yourself before taking care of others and a question Jon Young Flores consistently asks: are you there to build something, grow something, or run something.
The pair also get into what really earns a team's trust and why a good leader seeks the thinking behind a problem, not just the problem itself.

AI, The 2026 Box of Frogs
AI is the big challenge everyone's talking about right now. Michael Hall and Jon Young Flores think many leaders and businesses have a massive opportunity to think differently.
This episode gets into where that real opportunity actually sits, and the mistake worth avoiding before jumping in.

Business Half Full: The Why
Michael Hall and Jon Young Flores reached the same destination from opposite directions. Michael has worked with businesses from the outside for twenty-five years. Jon spent twenty years inside them.
In this first episode they explain what Business Half Full actually means. It isn't happy-go-lucky positivity or a mindset exercise. It's about recognising a challenge honestly, then reframing it into an opportunity.
