"Ultimately the state which we're all trying to achieve is contentment and happiness". What is the #1 practice that we could all be doing? And, how can we become happier? Today I sat down with two incredible humans, Aaron Birkby and Peta Ellis, Human Transformation Architects passionate about unlocking people's potential to be more self-aware. "If everyone were in alignment, the entire world would be a more happy place." Aaron is a human transformation architect, meaning he develop the human capital and talent for high performance, enabling them to grow high-performing teams, who in-turn build high growth ventures. He's the co-founder of a world-first Human Accelerator Program, which develops the individual through scientifically-proven and evidence-based techniques, habits and routines taken from the highest performing individuals and teams across the globe. Aaron's background includes over two decades as a successful startup founder and ecosystem community leader, culminating as the 2016 Entrepreneur Of The Year. More recently, Aaron has been a public speaker, hackathon facilitator, corporate innovation advisor, cultural-transformation leader, board member, investor, mentor, and adventure-preneur. Peta is a Startup Community Activator and Ecosystem builder with a history of collaboratively growing the innovation sector across Australia. With a 20 year background in Communications, PR, Marketing and Media Relations and founding four companies before 30, Peta plays a pivotal role in Startup ecosystems as a cheerleader, storyteller, super-connector and strategist. River City Labs grew 550% from 2012 to 2019 under Peta's leadership and was acquired at its peak in 2018 by the ACS. The acquisition enabled the brand to expand into the three hubs across three states ( QLD VIC NSW), making it the largest innovation hub network supporting high growth technology companies in Australia. As CEO of ACS Innovation Labs, I built and fostered critical ties with corporate partners, other private and public entities and their members. Now, as Cofounder of TribeGlobal and Peak Performance Persona, Peta aims to continue building the Entrepreneurial spirit, framework and mindset within communities and organizations that are people focussed and seeking for company-wide alignment.

Business founders are hard working, driven people. We commit 100% to our business(es), but with the burden of small business financial pressures, it can often feel like we have to juggle everything ourselves. However, my guest this week understands how important it is for founders to be part of a tribe and share business resources in order to support growth. Peta Ellis knows a thing or two about growth. As CEO of River City Labs, the company grew 550% and post-acquisition expanded into 3 states. Now, as co-founder of Tribe Global and Peak Performance Persona, Peta delivers programs that help business founders to create good personal routines and helps in building healthy business eco-systems, frameworks and infrastructure. In this episode of Be The Drop, Peta discusses issues facing founders in tech and business today, including resources available to help them. She reflects on the most important factors determining business founder success and the power of storytelling in connecting with your tribe. ---- Peta's episode was recorded LIVE at SouthStart in Adelaide - a convergence of humans, impact and technology.

Peta Ellis is the hugely successful CEO of Brisbane-based start-up space River City Labs.

Plus all the usual nonsense (and some slightly serious stuff) from Eddie & Patrick on the Spin Cycle. Remember to give us a rating and review! Our show carries no advertising.

Last week on Telltale, our guest Peta Ellis implored us to think globally and think far bigger about our businesses from the outset. Here's a reminder of what she said. "Are we working on something that's big enough? Let's stop playing around with the small, fun, great app ideas ... But are they working on something that's going to fundamentally change an industry or fundamentally change or transform an organisation." Funnily enough, just to the north of Australia - a fairly short flight away - are 650 million people who see Australia as the home to aspirational, premium and covetable products and services. And they are hungry for them. This week on the Telltale Podcast, Nathan Harvey, who is the founder of business consultancy Game Plan Asia and the former CFO of Flight Centre India and Singapore, gets real about the huge opportunities South-East Asia has on offer for Australian businesses. He discusses how businesses should hit the ground running in the ASEAN nations, the cultural nuances that affect the little things businesses need to be aware of and, of course, the importance building an audience for your business in the most effective and simple way. Hint: It just might be while they are here visiting Australia. Which they are, in droves. This is the season 1 finale of Telltale. Let's play. Music by bensound.com
In startup land, thinking big is the only option. Your idea, that thing you may be about to dedicate your time, money, life and love to, has to solve a big problem, reach a global market and dominate, lest it be cast aside, forgotten or worse - never seen at all. But it can be a lonely journey, and the power of people and connecting to ideas and networks can mean the difference between failure and triumph. It's something Peta Ellis, the chief executive officer of startup co-working space River City Labs, has seen over and over again. In this episode of the Telltale podcast, Peta discusses why startups need to think big about their product, their market and the amount of disruption they need to cause to ensure a foothold in their industry becomes the foundation for something far bigger. Join me, Kurt Sanders and co-host Brittanie Dreghorn as we find out what makes River City Labs tick. Let's start the show.
