Here’s some information about our guest:


Jacob Aldridge

CEO & Business Advisor, Speaker, Author

As an international business advisor, speaker, author and investor, Jacob delivers results for ambitious companies in Europe, North America and across Asia-Pacific. Every year he works with a small number of privately-owned companies, usually with between 12 and 96 employees who don't have the time for a dozen experts and need one person they can trust to move towards their collective dreams, faster.

Entertaining with an easy conversational style, a sharp wit, and brilliant humour, Jacob has the uncanny knack of distilling complex concepts into simple soundbites and powerful strategies that founders, executives, and team members both love … and actually execute to create results.

What are you famous for?

Alumni clients and audience members describe Jacob as the smart and quirky business guy who "gets shit done in business". Jacob brings business experience that impacts both profit and valuation – plus a unique energy borne from the belief that business is best when it’s fun.

About the Podcast

Mission Activated
Conversations and reflections on living your purpose and leading from alignment
Mission Activated is a podcast about living with purpose and leading from alignment.
Hosted by Aveline Clarke, founder of 6 Star Leaders, the show moves between two kinds of episodes: conversations with people doing meaningful work in their own way, and solo reflections drawn from her work coaching conscious leaders through what gets in the way and what's possible on the other side.
This isn't a podcast about hustle, performance, or scale at all costs. It's about the inner work that makes the outer work matter. Self-trust. Clean communication. Owning your part. Becoming someone others can safely navigate by.
If you're tired of leadership content that's loud and shallow, and you're looking for something quieter, more honest, and more useful, this is for you.
New episodes fortnightly. Stay aligned.
