Most business owners think they have a strategy. But in reality, they only have a plan. In this episode, we explore what real business strategy looks like through the eyes of successful entrepreneurs and leaders who have actually built and scaled thriving businesses.

Strategy is the foundation of growth, but every leader defines and applies it differently.

Over the past year, I’ve asked every guest the same question: What does strategy mean to you? Their answers reveal the truth about how strategy drives clarity, direction, and long-term success.

Hear from award-winning entrepreneurs and leadership experts including Sapna Pieroux, Lucy Barkas, Sian Brennan-Todd, Yemi Oluseun, Jeevan Punj, Alex M H Smith, Alex Chisnall, Paul Hetherington and Tom Holbrow as they share:

- Why strategy matters more than goals

- How leadership and strategy work hand-in-hand

- The role of brand, clarity and confidence in execution

- How to align your team with a shared vision

- Turning strategy from theory into real results.

If you are a business leader, entrepreneur or CEO looking to scale, this episode will help you rethink strategy and apply it in a way that actually drives growth.
