Episode Summary: In this episode of For Love & Money, Carolyn Butler-Madden is joined by Chris Hudson, Founder & CEO of Company Road, to explore how his own personal purpose has driven his work in catalysing organisational change. Chris shares his journey from childhood to the Ad Agency world, through corporate marketing to entrepreneurship—driven by curiosity and a deep desire to challenge the status quo. They discuss how leaders can embed purpose into their work, create meaningful cultural transformation, and reimagine traditional business models through curiosity, storytelling, and innovation. This conversation unpacks the emotional and strategic aspects of change-making, exploring how work can become more than a means to an end and instead a space for experimentation, personal fulfilment, and systemic impact. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Discover how Chris Hudson's personal purpose inspires him to drive business transformation, challenge leadership norms, and create innovative workplaces. How personal purpose can lead your work choices and inspire new business ventures. Why curiosity and questioning assumptions are essential for both innovation and leadership. The concept of 'intrapreneurship' and how employees can drive change within organisations. How designing customer experiences can be an experience itself. The parallels between performance in music, art, and leadership at work. How work environments can be stretched beyond conventional structures to foster engagement, creativity, and impact. The need to challenge traditional leadership archetypes and embrace humility in leadership. Why leaders must deeply understand their teams to create productive and fulfilling workplaces. Key Themes Discussed: Curiosity as a Leadership Skill: Chris reflects on how his innate curiosity has inspired his career path and his belief that curiosity is a critical tool for fostering change. Intrapreneurs as Rebels: Chris highlights how intrapreneurs are the 'rebels' of an organisation, pushing against the norm to drive meaningful change from within. Work as an Expansive Concept: The conversation explores how traditional work structures can be stretched and reimagined to create environments that promote innovation, fulfillment, and purpose. The Experience of Designing an Experience: Chris discusses how designing a customer experience can be an enriching experience for the people creating it, not just the end users. The Art of Leadership as Performance: Using music and art as an analogy, Chris draws parallels between great performances and the leadership required to create an engaging work culture. Challenging the Alpha Leadership Model: Chris calls for a shift away from the traditional dominant leadership style, advocating instead for consultative and humble leadership that fosters collaboration. Understanding People to Drive Productivity: Leaders need to invest time in truly understanding their teams to create a work environment that is both high-performing and human-centered.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Wednesday, December 18, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started. The Indian government has unveiled a 3 billion dollar incentives plan to stimulate the creation of electronics brands and enhance private research & development spending in the sector. The initiative is aimed at attracting investments and generating business worth over 15 billion dollars. The goal is to shift from merely assembling devices, which leaves most profits with foreign firms, to manufacturing core components domestically and owning patents for commercially sold devices. Historically, local brands such as Onida, Karbonn, Lava, and Micromax have struggled against international competition due to a lack of innovation. Shouvik Das explains how investing in R&D could revitalise Indian consumer electronics brands by fostering homegrown innovation and enabling them to compete globally. Aditya Birla Group and Adani Group, which were initially interested in acquiring Akzo Nobel NV's Indian paint operations, did not finalize their discussions, leading to a shift in potential bidders. Now, Indigo and JSW are negotiating – p otentially with private equity investors such as Warburg Pincus, TPG, Carlyle, and CVC – for a bid valued between 2.1 and 2.5 billion dollars. If completed, it could be the largest in India's paint industry, in which Akzo Nobel, which owns brands such as Dulux and Sikkens, holds a 5-6% market share. The decorative business, comprising two-thirds of Akzo Nobel's valuation, is a key attraction, Anirudh Laskar and Sneha Shah report. Pidilite Industries has proposed a share swap deal, while others suggest an all-cash transaction.JSW Group, Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners and Waaree Energies have placed their binding offers for Enel Group's renewable venture in India, eyeing a deal that may value the company's equity between 350 and 400 million dollars. Tack on the debt and we're talking of a total enterprise value north of 500 to 550 million dollars. The assets in play include 760 megawatts of wind and solar installations that are already up and running, plus a promising pipeline of projects that could add another 2 gigawatts. Enel Green Power India has been on the block since last year, and with these bids in, a deal could be wrapped up by the end of the fiscal year, insiders told Sneha Shah. The Election Commission of India looks set to retain its power to postpone assembly polls, even as India shifts towards a 'one nation, one election' system. This power is enshrined in the proposed Constitutional amendment introduced in the Lok Sabha, Manas Pimplakhare reports. The amendment aims for simultaneous elections across all levels of government but allows the ECI to seek deferrals from the President under special circumstances, a change from the current rules, under which the governor decides. The move to synchronize elections is aimed at improving financial efficiencies and reducing policy paralysis. However, if the Lok Sabha or state assemblies are dissolved prematurely, the incoming government will serve only the remainder of the term, maintaining a fixed election cycle every five years. Critics doubt the bill will pass soon, as the current government lacks the majority needed to push the amendment through.The Hindi version of Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rule-Part 2 has been a blockbuster hit, crossing the 500 crore rupee mark and giving single-screen cinemas in north India a much-needed boost. However, cinema owners are worried. After the Pushpa 2 wave, there's no big commercial hit in sight for a while, and sustaining their businesses looks tough. They are pinning their hopes on Salman Khan's Sikandar, which is set to release on the Eid weekend in March. Cinema owners Lata Jha spoke to called 2024 one of the worst years for these businesses, especially those in small towns. Themes such as nationalism aren't pulling in crowds like they were before, and movies that resonate with the common man, such as Pushpa 2, are rare. With Bollywood not churning out many mass-market hits, and the popularity of OTT platforms growing, the future looks challenging for single screens.

If you bring me an idea or a brick, I can't consider if it's viable for the rest of the show; I just have to trust that it is and know the process will land us somewhere interesting. In businesses, leaders often assess the future of an idea instantly and may deny it, rather than just saying, 'Yes, and let's build on this idea.' The improviser remembers the past, honours the present, and cares not for the future." - Broni Lisle This week's themeBroni Lisle, a seasoned improv performer with decades of experience, shares how the art of improvisation can radically reshape the way teams communicate, collaborate, and innovate.

I'm about to say one of the scariest (and I think) most exciting words in business. Are you ready? Creativity. You see, when you spend quality time thinking differently about your business, amazing things happen, the least of which is that you create a solid point-of-difference. But don't take my word for it … Let's hear from one of Sydney's leading new restaurateurs for whom creativity is his super power. It's a scary episode 619 of The (13 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast with Tim Reid.A little more about Sydney restaurateur Howin Chui … Firstly, a quick rant on creativity. Having spent the first half of my career in the Account Service department of large advertising agencies looking after big brands like Gillette, Yellow Pages & Dulux, I quickly learnt about the power of creative thinking. About the power a big idea can have on a business's growth and success. In fact, sitting at the top of every client invoice was a cost centre titled Concept Development. This was the amount the client paid for their Creative Team to sit around and come up with ideas in response to a brief. And despite working in agencies where there were entire floors dedicated to Creative folk - art directors, copywriters, graphic designers - I also learnt that every single one of us is creative. You don't need to be in the Arts to be creative. Whether you're an accountant, a builder, or you run an eCommerce store, you just need to find the time, regularly, to think differently about all aspects of your business. How you market it. How you employ. How you entertain. How you manage the finances. Make this part of how you do business, and you'll be in the successful minority of business owners who've cracked the creative code to standing out from the crowd, and creating a business people love to deal with. Entrepreneur Howin Chui is in this club. He's the quirky restaurateur behind Ni Hao Bar, Kowloon Cafe and Stir Fry King … very hip, very sought after Sydney-based eateries. As Howin says, ““The food world isn't just about the food quality; you need to create a feeling, a sensory experience .. you need to think differently. It's about your customers wanting to be a part of an experience they can talk about to friends and share online.” Now, Howin's slightly nervous at the start of our chat, but trust me when I say persevere, as he shares some absolute gold about his respect for creativity in business, and most importantly, how he does it. And just when you think he's nothing more to share, near the end he shares his next business venture, which is absolutely genius!

On this episode of Build Better Brands, Danielle Clarke is joined by Emma Glover, founder of Victress Digital, a social and paid media agency to talk about all the amazing stuff she does in digital marketing and social media.KEY TAKEAWAYSAll I wanted to do was do an ethical business. I'd been in an agency for a long time and I always wanted to try and be the boss that I never had. It's my goal to have a team – not necessarily a big team – I like to refer to us as a micro-agency, bridging the gap between a freelancer and a 60-80-man agency. It's quite personal in that regard, but I like managing people and being around people.From the minute I started freelancing I never referred to the business as me, it's always been Victress throughout, which made an easier transition between me as an entity on my own and growing the team. Always in the back of my mind I wanted to grow it at some point and that would be an easier transition. The need to grow the team came from the demands of my clients, they were asking things of me I couldn't deliver on my own. I created the agency around what the clients were asking for.Naming the company Victress future proofed me. I wanted to work very hard, but I wanted to allow the time and freedom that comes with working for yourself. If clients didn't meet other people they would always rely on me being the only person they could talk to which puts you in the position of not having a holiday or a break, which is problematic when you're the only person people can rely onWe predominantly focus on social media and paid media, but with the freelancers we have we can service other types of marketing. We focus predominantly on SaaS brands and B2B brands, not a lot with eCommerce brands because they need to be serviced by people with that specialism. We're more numbers people, getting into data and getting into strategy. Predominantly we look at lead generation, so if you're a business that needs to get more leads down into your sales pipeline or you've got a sales team that needs to have more leads to handle, we look at creating those leads from a combination of either organic or paid media. It tends to be LinkedIn focussed and PPC – Google search, Microsoft search – though we handle a little bit of Facebook and Instagram for a couple of brands. BEST MOMENTS‘There's a lot going on in the world, especially with Gen Z where you need to have a work/life balance, which I completely appreciate and, if I'm honest, I don't want my team to have to think about work when they're not at work. But it's what I signed up for and chose, so if I need to work on a weekend that's fine.'‘Previously people wanted to go into shops and wanted things they could hold, now in a digital marketing space, the world has become more obsessive about how we make everything digital now.'‘A lot of the brands we work with are not doing something no one else is doing, they're doing something that 10-12 other people are doing, but they're marketing it slightly differently and they've found a gap they can get in with.'‘I wanted to set the standard that this is a female-owned company that is going to give heavy weight to females at director level. I had a vision of female founder female led company. It wasn't and isn't something I've seen before in this industry, so I'm flying the flag for that.'ABOUT THE GUESTEmma Glover is a social media specialist with more than a decade of digital marketing experience.

We're on something of a hiatus this week but a few months ago Dan and I watched something a little bit different... I'm probably not going out on a limb when I suggest that Chilean surrealist filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky's THE HOLY MOUNTAIN (1973) is not for everyone. Here is the plot as regurgitated using excerpts from my notes: Twin girls in white are undressed and have their heads shaved while the drums on the soundtrack try to break my skull. Stuffed goats adorn a throne room that's painted like a Dulux colour chart. A hippo is in the bath. Jesus who was stoned to death by children has been revived by a man who has no arms or legs who then rolls a spliff for him. The conquest of Mexico is re-enacted using Toads and Iguanas. In a factory, artists produce masterpieces by using their naked painted asses. A mechanical penis and vagina about 2 metres tall does sexy things. A well-dressed woman leading the military explains that a computer is fed data about wars and revolutions which in turn tells the government what to do, for example creating toys to condition children from birth to hate Peru and become machines of war. An alchemist can turn faeces into gold by vaporising it and breathing in the fumes. A man in silk pyjamas with a face mask is being spanked by a chubby woman riding a mechanical horse. Children dressed as mickey mouse in a house like Swiss cheese; a man like a jedi, bearded, the kids celebrate him. They make purposefully shitty condos; at a huge meeting, the jedi speaks of conditioning people to work while an ice sculpture of a penis is brought in. An old lady wielding a bloody soaked sword in a tree made of chickens, she castrates a man. Another man is covered in tarantulas and screams.Under a tarpaulin a naked hermaphrodite jizzes milk from his tiger tits. That's really just a snapshot of this experimental film which relies heavily on symbolism, a great deal of which flew way over my head. A loose narrative does emerge from the chaos which sees a group of people representing the planets - or perhaps the actual planets themselves, that seems equally plausible - ascend to the summit of the Holy Mountain in order to kill the Immortals and steal their secrets. An insane and often quite beautiful movie, when it's not completely and overwhelmingly oppressive that is, there's often incredible creativity and imagination on screen as we veer from one darkly comic scene of psychedelia to the next. Unforgettable. In an alternate universe somewhere, Jodorowsky made a version of DUNE. I would love to see that!
