About this listen

Welcome to "Focus on the Fun Stuff" the podcast where we dive into what it takes to focus on the things you love in your business and enjoy the journey.

We'll explore how to get more of those days where you're in the flow, loving what you're doing and using your unique abilities and passions.

Many business owners find themselves down in the weeds, overwhelmed, stuck at a certain revenue level, limited by team size, or constantly time-poor.


Often, it's a combination of all these challenges.


If you’ve ever looked at another successful, ambitious happy business owner and wondered ‘How did they do that?’

I’ve totally done the same thing.

And Focus on the fun Stuff explores how they did it.

    What does it really take to build a business that lasts?

    In this episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I sit down with Chris Ducker - best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and creator of the Youpreneur movement - to talk about sustainable leadership, avoiding entrepreneurial burnout, and how to play the long game in business.

    Chris opens up about his own experience with burnout, his path to recovery, and what he's doing differently this time around to protect his energy, time, and passion. We dive into:

    • Why most founders burn out (and how to avoid it)
    • How to protect your most valuable asset: your energy
    • The mindset shift from hustle to harmony
    • Practical habits for longevity as a business owner
    • How hobbies, personal mastery, and saying "no" keep you focused

    Whether you’re a scaling entrepreneur, a personal brand, or a visionary founder-this conversation will remind you what matters most if you want to lead for the long haul.

    Listen now and learn how to build a business that fuels you - not drains you.

    Chris's new book is released on Tuesday 2nd September 2025 and you can pre-order here: longhaulleader.com

  • Why Most People Fail at Financial Freedom - And How to Get It Right with Jason Graystone

    Why Most People Fail at Financial Freedom - And How to Get It Right with Jason Graystone
    Aug 15 2025

    In this episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I sit down with entrepreneur, investor, and bestselling author Jason Graystone, who achieved financial freedom by the age of 30. But Jason’s story isn’t about chasing numbers - it’s about building a life you truly love.

    We dive into the lessons from his book Always Free, exploring why time freedom is just as important as financial freedom, and how aligning your life with your values can unlock both.

    Jason shares his journey from a turbulent childhood to creating multiple income streams, the mindset shifts that helped him break free from the “hamster wheel,” and the unconventional question every business owner should ask:

    What would your work look like if you didn’t need money?

    Packed with practical advice, powerful reframes, and plenty of inspiration, this episode will challenge the way you think about success, freedom, and what it really means to live life on your own terms.

    In this solo episode, Emma shares the exact process she uses to stop founders from being “the glue” that holds everything together, and instead build a business that works for them - not the other way around.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Identify where you’re still holding on too tightly
    • Delegate with confidence and clarity
    • Protect your most valuable asset - you
    • Redesign your role so you can lead from the front, focus on the big opportunities, and create the future

    Packed with practical steps, mindset shifts, and straight-talking truths, this is your permission slip to stop firefighting and start leading like the asset you are.

    🎧 Press play - and start building a business that carries you, too.
