Honest conversations with exceptional leaders about leadership, decision-making, resilience and high performance.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Fireside Leadership Podcast explores leadership through honest conversations with people who have carried real responsibility.

Hosted by Aegis Leadership, each episode unpacks the lessons, failures and experiences that shape exceptional leaders across business, sport, defence and public service.

Rather than focusing on theory, Fireside explores what leadership looks like when the decisions matter.

New to Fireside? These are three conversations we recommend starting with.

WITH DILLON BOUCHER.jpg

From rejection to leading one of New Zealand's premier sporting organisations, Dylan Boucher shares lessons on resilience, standards and building winning cultures.

STOP CREATING DEPENDANCY.jpg

One of the biggest traps leaders fall into is becoming indispensable. James explains how great leaders build capability, create ownership and develop teams that thrive without relying on them.

High performance isn't about perfection. Carsten Grimm explores resilience, pressure and why the best leaders develop people before they chase results.

why fireside exists

Leadership is often presented as polished and perfect. Reality looks very different.

Fireside exists to have honest conversations with people who have made difficult decisions, overcome setbacks and led through uncertainty.

Our goal is to help current and future leaders learn from real experience rather than theory alone.
