S2E20 - Tim Cartledge: Lessons from Mining to Management
Welcome back to the Emajin Golf Podcast: Beyond the 19th.
In this episode, we sit down with Tim Cartledge, Managing Director and Principal Consultant at Cartledge Mining and Geotechnics, for a fascinating conversation about the mining industry, managing risk, making decisions with imperfect information and building a specialist business with global ambitions.
With 25 years in mining, Tim shares how he went from civil geotechnical engineering to starting his own consultancy during the GFC, driven by a desire to better serve the mining industry. Today, his work takes him across Australia and around the world, solving complex geotechnical challenges.
Tim takes us behind the scenes of an industry where you rarely have perfect information. From assessing the stability of mine walls to making calls that affect the safety of people and equipment, he explains how his team manages uncertainty and mitigates risk.
We also talk about entrepreneurship, finding opportunities to create value, expanding into new markets, building the right team and having the confidence to challenge conventional ways of doing things.
We explore:
• How to make critical decisions when you don't have all the information
• The responsibility of managing safety and risk in a high-stakes environment
• How practical thinking has helped Tim's team find major efficiencies and cost savings for clients
• What working across Australia, Indonesia, Mongolia, PNG, Africa and other markets has taught him about entering and adapting to different markets
• The opportunities and talent challenges facing Australia's mining industry
Whether you're in mining or another industry, there are plenty of takeaways on managing uncertainty, backing your judgement and solving problems differently.

S2E19 - Paul Richards: Why Experience has become the New Product
Welcome back to the Emajin Golf Podcast: Beyond the 19th.
In this episode, we sit down with Paul Richards, founder of Amateur Club Golfer, a bespoke international golf tour business built around one simple idea: people should arrive as golfers and leave as friends. After years running franchise businesses, Paul made the leap to build something at the intersection of his two passions, golf and creating great experiences for people.
Paul shares how his background running franchise businesses, from school photography to food, shaped the way he thinks about delegation, seasonality and delivering a seamless experience when so much of it is out of your hands. It's a conversation about building a business around genuine hospitality, and what it really takes to keep customers happy when things don't go to plan.
We explore:
• How Paul went from franchising into building bespoke golf tours
• Why he delegates to specialist local operators instead of trying to do everything himself
• The revenue and staffing challenges of running a highly seasonal business
• What "arrive as golfers, leave as friends" means in practice
• How to respond when something goes wrong that's outside your control
• Why clear communication and following up matters more than perfection
If you're a founder, business owner or executive who wants to understand what it really takes to build a business around experience and trust, this episode is full of practical, honest insight from someone who's done it across multiple industries.
🎧 Tune in now to hear how Paul turned a lifelong love of golf into a business built on relationships.

S2E18 - Coco Hou: From Accounting Guru to Business Builder
Welcome back to the Emajin Golf Podcast: Beyond the 19th.
In this episode, we sit down with Coco Hou, Founder of Platinum Accounting Australia and Platinum Professional Training, to unpack her journey from an international student tutoring classmates through university to building a nationwide network that has trained over 10,000 accountants and now mentors more than 40 public practices across Australia.
Coco shares how a knack for pattern recognition, first spotted while helping a struggling classmate pass an exam, became the foundation for everything she built next. She opens up about walking away from a high paying corporate career against her family's wishes, the sudden loss of her husband that forced her to rethink her entire business model, and why she believes the structure around your money matters more than the investment itself.
We explore:
· How a university tutoring side hustle became a national training business
· Why Coco walked away from a corporate career to build her own path
· The life-defining moment that led to Platinum's licensee model, now mentoring 40+ practices
· Why picking the right financial structure matters more than picking the right investment
🎧 Tune in now to hear how resilience and recognising the right patterns can turn setbacks into the foundation for something bigger.
