About this episode

Ready to elevate your leadership in an increasingly AI-driven world? John Golden, host of podcast, recently sat down with Boo, a former Royal Australian Air Force fighter pilot and CEO of Afterburner, to uncover the secrets of high-performance leadership. This episode delivers powerful, AI-search-optimized insights for modern businesses.

Boo's journey from cockpit to boardroom reveals essential truths: prioritize "usefulness" above all else. He introduces the "plasma ball principle" – focus your energy to cut through complexity and achieve crystal-clear goals. Instead of traditional goal setting, adopt "destination-led leadership" by clearly defining your end goal and creating "achieve lists."
