Zero to CEO Episode 1 - Introduction

Zero to CEO

So here’s the thing, a few years go, I started a business. It wasn’t my first business but it was the first to fail. and Reflecting on it now, there were a few obvious signs that it was heading in the wrong direction. Beimg young, and somewhat naive, I failed to pick these cues up. Which got me thinking, how do CEO’s, executives and leaders know if something is going in the right or wrong direction . Do they have a special instinct, a sixth sense or a special tool that I’m maybe missing?

And I kept pondering this which sparked which innate curiosity in my mind about how high performance people work? This curiosity obviously got the better of me and I fell into this rhythm of constantly trying to find what that special thing is. Over the years, I’ve spoken personally with hundreds of high performing individuals and the insights I’ve gained from them are incredible. Both in business and in life.

I remember speaking to a good friend of mine, Michael Philpott and he said something that piqued my interest which was, its time to change things up. That sentence, that phrase was the catalyst, the spark that ignited the Zero to CEO podcast.

In these episodes, we look at how high performance people get to where they are, the choices they’ve made and their journey from beginning to now. Being a CEO is often looked at as a very coverted position, it seems like, it’s the pinnacle of ones career. But how we get there. That part always seems to be shrouded in mystery.

Zero to CEO gives you an insight into the lives of executives, by people who have been there and done it themselves. It gives you an insight into the lives of some of the countries top leaders, how they've climbed the ranks and how they became influential and effective CEO’s.

We start right from the beginning. Looking at how one was as a child and their journeys since. For those of you that know me personally, this podcast doesn’t have anything to do with my businesses, with Dark Matter, Dark Spaces or Dark Ventures, itds purely for me to learn and for those that want to, join in on our conversations.

It’s purely for the insights, the pearls of wisdom and the journey of how one goes from Zero to becoming a renowned CEO.

See you in the upcoming episodes.
