💪Turning failure into opportunity A common trait we often see among our guests who’ve had continued success in their business, career or life is their ability to take on feedback – direct or indirect – and use it to their advantage. Mike Campbell talks about how negative feedback can ultimately be freeing as it tells you what’s specifically not working and opens other avenues to direct your focus. We loved hearing his approach to failure and how it creates an opportunity to take one more step in the journey. 🎧Listen here - https://www.aretex.com.au/anti-failure-podcast #Antifailure #antifragile #businesssuccess #Entrepreneur #founder #startup #personaldevelopment

I failed. I'm a failure. Too completely different statements. However, often used interchangeably among so many of us. Making the distinction can be the difference between evolving towards success or staying stuck in a cycle of self-flagellation and blame. Standing up to failure with Mike Campbell and Chris Kendall
🎠Too many people put the cart before the horse. Chasing the shining trappings of success can be a fruitless pursuit as the goalposts always move in a perpetual game of keeping up with the Joneses. But when your objective is to create legacy, then the money flows. As does the sense of purpose and joy in what you're doing. #antfailure #antifragility #businesssuccess #entrepreneur #smallbusinessowner #founder #legacy
🎸"It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that corporate tree." - Dave Faulkner, Hoodoo Gurus Ryan talks about CEOs and Founders carrying all the stress. But Chris has uncovered throughout a lot of these discussions with small business owners is the loneliness. Created by the fear of 'Where's the next payment coming from?' 'Are we on the right path?' 'Can I make payroll this month?' Having the courage to step through those fires and simply do the next right thing is what carries most leaders forward. And in many cases, it's all we can do. We'd love to hear your hardest or most stressful business moment. Please share in the comments.
You can always make more cash but you can't buy back time or replace core memories. Accidental CEO, Ryan Gilbank, giving wisdom on building a legacy beyond the numbers and things that really matter.
🤝Business is done human to human and people sometimes forget that. Most business success is built off the back of strong relationships. Ryan Gilbank believes whole-heartedly that aligning our behaviour (in and out of the office) to our internal moral compass and striving to create win-wins at every interaction is a key component to longevity in any business. #antifailure #businesssuccess #entrepreneur #startup #founder #smallbusiness #antifragile #authenticity
It's Still Sh*t - Getting hard feedback
🗣️While feedback is essential to growth, sometimes it can be a bitter pill to swallow.
Feedback is crucial to identify blind spots and encourage continuous learning. Additionally, feedback builds stronger relationships by fostering trust and respect within the team and with clients.
Taking feedback effectively requires an open mind and to approach it with curiosity rather than defensiveness. It's also really important to separate yourself from your work, remembering that feedback is about your performance, not your personal worth.
💬 Tips for Giving Constructive Feedback:
1. Be Specific - Clearly explain the issue and provide examples.
2. Be Timely - Give feedback soon after the event or behaviour you’re addressing.
3. Be Respectful - Approach the conversation with empathy and respect.
Incorporating feedback effectively helps the individual as well as the business as a whole. Creating a culture that supports continued improvement, honest and transparent communication, and mutual respect and trust will ultimately yield greater success.

Shipwrecked in the Philippines
🛥️ A real-life shipwreck tale 🛥️
You've just wrapped up an amazing day diving with whale sharks in some of the world's clearest water.
Sitting below deck, you scroll through the captured images and videos. Basking in your favourite moments. When people above you start screaming.
Then everything goes quiet.
The cabin fades to darkness and you feel the water around your ankles. Within seconds it laps at your waist and quickly engulfs your chest.
Soon there'll be no air left. So you take what could be your last breath and swim for it.
10...20...30... Nothing but the deep blue abyss.
You finally emerge. Alive. Intact. Gasping to fill your lungs with the cool night air.
But now the work begins.
Find out if Chris Eagar, his brothers and all the crew make it home safely in the latest episode of the Anti-Failure Podcast.

🧠 Focus on one thing! The biggest trap for business owners is trying to do everything. Be everything to everyone. Work out what the biggest levers for you as business owner are and prioritise those. Everything else can be delegated, outsourced or deprioritised for later. #antifailure #antifragile #businesssuccess #entrepreneur #essentialism #startup #founder #smallbusiness
Lessons in business culture from elite sport
🏈What lessons can be parlayed from sport into business?
Culture is probably the biggest one - a champion team will always beat a team of champions. We see this narrative play out time and time again in sport. And many businesses talk about culture, but how do they make it more than just a catchphrase painted on an office wall?
Connor shares his learnings on culture and how to build one with purpose in your business.

How to Hire Good People
"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
Finding people that align with your and your business's core values is generally more important than ticking boxes on a resume. You can always upskill staff, but you can't necessarily teach them to care.
What are your hiring non-negotiables?
