đď¸ The Business Rebellion The Podcast
Business is changing and weâre done following outdated rules. This show is for founders and leaders who refuse burnout culture, low standards, and âthatâs just how itâs done.â We talk pricing power, identity, leadership, nervous systemâsafe success, and building wealth without self-sacrifice. Featuring bold conversations and expert guests who are reshaping how business and wealth are built.
This is where the new era begins.
Welcome to The Business Rebellion.
Most leaders think empathy is a soft skill.
Something that lowers standards, slows decisions, and gets in the way of performance.
But the leaders getting the best out of their people arenât being nicer. Theyâre understanding more.
In this conversation, Kerrie McGilvray sits down with Daniel Murray, behavioural science and leadership specialist who has worked with organisations from CBA and Fortescue to the Department of Defence, to unpack why empathy is a growth strategy, not a personality trait. The discussion challenges one of the most persistent myths in leadership. That empathy and high standards pull in opposite directions. The reality is that understanding why people do what they do is what makes clarity, feedback and tough decisions actually land.
Empathy isnât feeling sad with someone. It is understanding why they do what they do
Nice keeps the peace. Kind builds effectiveness. Leaders confuse the two constantly
The Jekyll and Hyde leader thinks they are mostly good. Their team just walks on eggshells
People donât trust leaders who seem invulnerable. They trust the ones who are honest
The words you use in hard feedback donât matter if the person doesnât trust you
This episode reframes what strong leadership actually looks like for founders scaling past the point where they can know everyone personally. It isnât about coddling your team or lowering the bar. It is about understanding your people well enough that direction, feedback and accountability move them forward instead of shutting them down, and choosing effectiveness over harmony without becoming a tyrant.
If you have been treating empathy as the cherry on top rather than the foundation,
and you sense your standards and your relationships are quietly working against each other,
this is the conversation worth sitting with.

Sales Without Manipulation
Most founders think they hate sales.
The pushy calls. The scripts. The pressure.
But what they actually hate is manipulation, and they have spent years assuming the two are the same thing.
In this conversation, Kerrie McGilvray sits down with Pete Solway, founder of Founder Sales Solutions, to unpack what ethical, grounded sales actually looks like for value led founders who feel more discomfort here than anywhere else in their business. The discussion challenges one of the most common beliefs founders carry. That selling means becoming someone you donât want to be. The reality is that the founders who sell best arenât performing. Theyâre having honest conversations and walking away when it isnât a fit.
Influence educates. Manipulation corners. The difference is whether you are asking or telling
If you can walk away when it isnât a fit, you keep your integrity and your reputation intact
Sales is not a performance. It is an act of service, closer to advising than pitching
Hiring your first salesperson is one of the hardest sales jobs there is. Most founders skip the foundations
You donât fix sales discomfort by avoiding it. You get in the gym and build the muscle
This episode reframes what selling actually looks like for founders who have been quietly avoiding it. It isnât about becoming more persuasive or learning better closes. It is about putting simple parameters in place so you can sell with integrity, protect your reputation, and realise that the thing you have been dreading is closer to helping than convincing.
If sales makes you feel like you have to become someone youâre not,
and you have been trying to hire your way out of doing it,
this is the conversation worth sitting with.

Wealth Without Self-Sabotage
Most founders think wealth is about how much they earn.
The bigger number. The next deal. The next milestone.
But the founders who actually feel financially safe donât get there by earning more. They get there by removing the pressure to.
In this conversation, Kerrie McGilvray sits down with Andrew Chan, wealth strategist and creator of the nervous system safe wealth strategy, to unpack why so many high income founders still donât feel financially secure, and what actually shifts when structure, protection and behaviour catch up with the income. The discussion moves past performance and returns into something more confronting. The reality that most wealth isnât lost in a bad market. It is lost in the decisions founders make when they are stressed.
Protection comes before performance. Structure decides how much of your growth you actually keep
Chronic stress makes founders reactive. Reactive decisions are the most expensive ones they make
Wealth isnât when the numbers go up. It is when the decisions calm down
You donât escape financial stress by earning more. You escape it by removing dependence on needing more
The unsexy work is what compounds. Consistency beats intensity every time
This episode reframes what real financial safety looks like for founders whose businesses are performing but whose nervous systems are running on empty. It isnât about picking better investments or chasing higher returns. It is about engineering your financial life so a bad quarter, a market shift, or a change in the tax code doesnât put you back at zero, and the decisions you make today are ones you are still proud of a decade from now.
If your income keeps growing but the pressure never lets up,
and every big decision still gets made from urgency instead of clarity,
this is the conversation worth sitting with.
