Podcast appearances and mentions of Simon Bird

In this special edition of ScaleUp Radio Shorts, Kevin Brent and Louise Blunt revisit three standout conversations from recent ScaleUp Radio episodes to uncover a common thread running through them all. At first glance, these guests appear to operate in completely different worlds. Maritsa Inglessis specialises in people and HR. Peter Juhasz helps businesses generate growth through AI-powered revenue systems. Simon Bird works with founders on strategy, creativity and mindset. Yet all three are helping business owners solve the same challenge: escaping the founder trap. Whether you're struggling with people issues, feeling overwhelmed by growth challenges, or finding yourself stuck in the day-to-day running of the business, this episode offers practical insights to help you regain control and create a business that works for you, rather than because of you. In this episode: Why founders often become the biggest bottleneck in their own business Simon Bird explores the psychological challenges many founders face after years of building their companies. What starts as passion and excitement can gradually become pressure, responsibility and a sense of being trapped by the very business they created. The power of "Permission to Pause" Maritsa Inglessis introduces a powerful concept: giving yourself permission to stop, reflect and assess what your business actually needs before adding more people, processes or complexity. How poor onboarding and founder dependency drive employee turnover Learn how one business transformed from 100% staff turnover to retaining every employee for two years by improving onboarding, communication and delegation. Why drawing your business can reveal more than months of meetings Simon shares a fascinating exercise where founders visually represent their business challenges, uncovering hidden operational issues and alignment problems that traditional discussions often miss. Why most AI and growth initiatives fail Peter Juhasz explains why overcomplicating growth through multiple agencies and disconnected tactics often leads to frustration and burnout, and why combining AI with human expertise is critical for success. The role fear plays in leadership From difficult conversations with employees to making strategic decisions, all three guests highlight how fear can prevent founders from taking the actions their businesses need most. Key lessons from the discussion Stop trying to solve every problem yourself. Build systems rather than relying on heroics. Invest in proper onboarding and people development. Create space for strategic thinking. Don't confuse activity with progress. Use AI as an amplifier, not a replacement for expertise. Seek outside perspectives through coaches, advisors and trusted partners. Focus on building a business that can operate successfully without constant founder intervention.

LinkedIn & Instagram Post Have you accidentally become the biggest bottleneck in your own business? In this latest ScaleUp Radio Shorts episode, Louise Blunt and I reflect on three brilliant conversations with Maritsa Inglessis, Peter Juhasz and Simon Bird. They each approach business growth from a completely different angle: People and HR. AI and lead generation. Strategy and founder mindset. Yet they all uncovered the same challenge. The Founder Trap. The point where the business starts depending on you for everything, leaving you busy, overwhelmed and struggling to focus on what really matters. A few key lessons from the discussion: ✔️ Give yourself permission to pause before adding more people, processes or complexity ✔️ Great onboarding and clear expectations reduce turnover and increase performance ✔️ AI works best when combined with human expertise and accountability ✔️ The best leaders don't carry every problem themselves If you're trying to scale while feeling stuck in the day-to-day, this episode is packed with practical insights.

Well worth a listen if you're trying to create a business that scales without depending on you for everything. Smart90 Comment Most business owners don't need another tactic. They need clarity on what matters most next. This ScaleUp Radio Shorts episode is full of practical insights to help founders step back, refocus and build a business that can grow sustainably. :::

What happens when the business you built to create freedom starts feeling more like a trap? In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent speaks with Simon Bird, founder of SEON, about one of the most common but least discussed challenges facing growing SME owners: the "Owner's Trap". Simon shares practical frameworks and diagnostic approaches designed to help founders step back, regain clarity, and reconnect with the purpose and direction of their business. Drawing on more than 25 years in global marketing leadership and seven years advising business owners through SEON, Simon explains why many leaders become overwhelmed as their businesses grow, and how structured thinking, visual frameworks, and better conversations can unlock progress. This conversation is packed with practical guidance for founders who feel busy, stretched, and stuck in operational complexity. In this episode: Why successful founders often become disconnected from the part of the business they originally loved The warning signs that operational pressure is beginning to affect performance and motivation Why trying to "solve" problems too quickly often creates more confusion How a "thinking partner" can help founders gain clarity and make better decisions The power of visual frameworks and metaphor to expose hidden business issues Why alignment problems inside leadership teams are often invisible until surfaced properly The importance of stepping back before jumping into strategy or restructuring How productising advisory services creates clearer value for clients Practical lessons Simon learned from building SEON from scratch Why consistent business development habits still matter, even for experienced advisers A standout insight from the episode One of the most powerful moments in the discussion is Simon's example of a husband-and-wife leadership team drawing their business as a car. One leader saw a polished, high-performing vehicle. The other saw it sitting in the garage with three wheels missing. That single exercise exposed a major operational disconnect that traditional meetings and reports had failed to uncover. It is a reminder that many business problems are not purely strategic or financial. Often, leaders are operating from completely different realities. The one key thing If your business feels harder to run than it should, resist the temptation to immediately fix symptoms. Pause first, diagnose properly, and create the space for honest thinking before choosing solutions.   Simon can be found here: https://www.seongrowth.com/ simon@seongrowth.com   Resources: The Long Game by Dorie Clark - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-long-game-how-to-be-a-long-term-thinker-in-a-short-term-world-dorie-clark/6104653?ean=9781647820572&next=t

Joe Thomas was thrown into the spotlight in 2008 when British comedy ‘The Inbetweeners’ hit out TV screens. His character, Simon Cooper, suffered all manner of teenage humiliations at the hands of his friends, played by Simon Bird, Blake Harrison, and James Buckley. Now he’s on our side of the world, joining the line-up of Kiwi talent involved in TVNZ’s ‘NZ Spy’, starring alongside Rose Matafeo, Bret McKenzie, and Paul Williams. The show focuses on New Zealand’s three newest spies, and somewhat bumbling, spies, who have to track down the nation’s biggest enemy – the head of the Australian Secret Service. Thomas told Jack Tame this was one of those projects he knew would be good from the moment he read the script. “With comedy you can just tell like, immediately, if it’s gonna be good ... and within the first sort of page, I just thought, yeah this is great.” “Sometimes you just get jobs and you’re like, oh this is great, and you’re like, I was honestly like, what’s the catch?” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's guest is a well-known and respected senior underwriter with a career going back forty years. Simon Bird, Group Executive Underwriter and Active Underwriter of Brit Insurance's Syndicate 2988, is someone who I'd heard of thirty years ago when I was a broker, but I only ended up meeting  him twenty-nine years later. Regular listeners will have heard his wise contributions to the last two Monte Carlo State of Insurance and Reinsurance episodes. The rushed timetable of Monte Carlo made me wish that we could have a longer and more relaxed meeting to be able have far more detailed and nuanced conversation. And here it is. This is another vintage episode with someone who has spent a generation leading carriers through markets, variously benign, indifferent, soft, hard and completely dislocated. Very few people can put today's market and the issues of our times into the kind of context that Simon can. But of course Simon isn't some kind of museum piece or insurance and reinsurance historian, he is a hands-on underwriting leader who is very much in touch with the market. He is also great company and his insights and thoughts on topics as far-ranging as Ai to the structure of the syndicated insurance marketplace are highly original and valuable and I can highly recommend a listen.

GUESTS Fritz Bitsoie (Diné), film director  Sifu JoAnn Wabisca (Métis-Cree), co-founder of Ekata Training Center and instructor Simon Bird (Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation), educator and Cree language advocate  Shannon Lee, CEO and owner of the Bruce Lee Family Companies, president of the Bruce Lee Foundation, author of Be Water, My Friend, and daughter of Bruce Lee
