What if the key to scaling isn’t doing more, but doing less, and doing it better?

In this episode, Matthew Wilkins, Founder and CEO of Venergy Solar Australia, reveals how discipline, focus and long-term thinking turned a small solar startup into a national leader in renewable energy.

Wilkins shares how battery storage and smart software are reshaping the grid, the hard lessons behind saying no to distractions, and why treating contractors as true partners has become his biggest competitive advantage.

We also explore leadership habits that last – building trust, creating white space to think and remembering that you’re never wrong for doing what’s right.

Listen now to learn how to scale with purpose and avoid the burnout.
