<p>I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Nick Stone, whose journey from AFL journeyman to founder of Bluestone Lane, America's fastest-growing premium café brand, exemplifies resilience and authentic leadership.</p><p>Nick played just 20 games across Collingwood, Hawthorn and St. Kilda over six years, fighting for his career with each one-year contract. What struck me most was how Nick never allowed football to consume his identity, even while giving it everything he had. When his playing career ended—the same day he completed his Monash University degree—Nick embraced this transition as an opportunity rather than dwelling on what might have been.</p><p>In our conversation, Nick shared how this experience shaped his approach to business and leadership. His philosophy of "unlocking versus extracting" potential and building trust through transparent feedback proved crucial when Bluestone Lane lost 87% of its revenue during COVID-19.</p><p>Nick's story reminds us that leadership isn't about having all the answers, but about remaining genuinely curious and comfortable with the questions. His ability to balance seemingly opposing qualities—being data-driven while prioritising human connection, maintaining high standards while creating space for vulnerability—offers valuable lessons for anyone navigating leadership challenges.</p><p>Join us for this thought-provoking discussion about finding your authentic self beyond your professional role, the power of embracing feedback, and the continuous journey of personal growth.</p><p>Notebook ready. </p><p>Play on!</p>

<p><strong>"If you are not genuine with people, you won't get anything. You won't get productivity, won't get ideas, you won't get innovation, and you won't get a safe building site." - Joe Barr</strong></p><p>When Joe Barr became CEO of John Holland, he made a decision that would define his leadership journey: to embrace what he didn't know. </p><p>With little experience in rail and infrastructure, Joe found himself leading one of Australia's largest construction companies.</p><p>Rather than feigning expertise, he chose authenticity.</p><p>This, in itself, is an easy choice. </p><p>Most CEOs would state this intention when taking up their position. Few, however, understand what it truly asks of them, remembering that people do not experience our intentions; they experience our behaviours.</p><p>Authenticity is an outcome and emerges only through vulnerability, which itself requires genuine bravery.</p><p>In this case, the vulnerability of waking up to many consequences of leading multi-billion-dollar projects and thousands of employees.</p><p>The discomfort of ‘not knowing’ marks the place where leadership is most needed.</p><p>This is a wonderful conversation.</p><p>Notebook ready...</p><p></p><p>Play on!</p>
