In this episode we welcome Chrissy Quinn and Ben Newsome.  They have 3 things in common: they’re both based in Sydney, they both like blowing things up, and they both are full of fun and uplifting energy!

This was a fabulous conversation where our guests talked 6 star in education, business, and mindset.  


Here’s a summary of what we discussed:

06:33 - imagine if 6 star business existed everywhere; what kind of world would we live in?

08:47 - perfection never stays still

12:29 - If you want rainbows, you have to learn to stand in the rain

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.
