Welcome to the latest episode of Metronomics, where we dive deep into the journeys of inspiring entrepreneurs and business leaders. This week, we’re thrilled to welcome Louis Retief, the founder of Hubly Inc, a leading workflow automation system for financial advisory firms. Louis shares candid insights about his six-and-a-half-year entrepreneurial journey, from the early days of building his company through the challenges brought on by COVID, to the emotional rollercoaster of restructuring and eventually selling the business. His story highlights the importance of trust, vulnerability, and personal growth in leadership, especially during tough times.

Louis discusses how trust within a leadership team is often invisible but can be observed through behaviors such as ownership avoidance, dependence on the CEO, and reluctance to take responsibility. He emphasizes that organizational growth is closely tied to the growth of its leaders and how vulnerability and self-awareness play pivotal roles in team dynamics. Throughout his story, Louis reflects on how understanding human psychology, parts theory from internal family systems, and intentional culture-building helped him navigate difficult decisions, including downsizing and restructuring his company during the market downturn. These lessons are invaluable for any entrepreneur seeking to grow resilient, high-performing teams.

To hear Louis Retief’s full story, including the lessons learned from navigating a demanding startup journey, the emotional lows and highs of restructuring, and the strategic moves that led to his company's exit, listen to the full episode here: https://youtu.be/QY-vIk3W0u0

What separates good leadership from great leadership? On this episode of Tip Top: Grow Up Your Business with Metronomics, hosts Shannon Susko and Ged Roberts are joined by Metronomics coach Ian Judson for a powerful roundtable from Sydney, Australia. Together, they unpack what it really means to coach through the Metronomics lens — and why removing blind spots is at the heart of every transformation.

They dive deep into the mindset shifts required for CEOs to succeed. From the importance of coachability, to building inclusive strategies, to letting go of the need to have all the answers — the conversation reveals how the most effective leaders are those who empower their teams, not micromanage them. The group also addresses the most underestimated and resisted systems in the Metronomics framework — like the cultural and coach cascade systems — and why they’re essential for scaling teams as fast as the business itself.

This is a masterclass in guiding behavioral evolution through structured, repeatable systems — one that delivers results across thousands of companies worldwide. Whether you're in foundation, momentum, or compounding phase, this episode will change how you lead and grow.

What does it really mean to build a business with freedom of choice at its core? In this episode of Tip Top: Grow Up Your Business with Metronomics, host Shannon Susko welcomes Ryan Tansom, founder of Arkona, to explore why true independence isn't about selling your business—it's about designing your ownership path intentionally. Ryan shares the hard-earned lessons from selling his family business and how that experience fueled his creation of the “Independence by Design” framework.

Together, Shannon and Ryan unpack the myths around exits, how to think like an investor in your own company, and why so many business owners feel stuck without clarity on what they actually want. Ryan shares the three critical constraints—time, cash flow, and wealth—and how they shape every meaningful decision an owner makes. He also reveals why many leaders regret their exits, and what it takes to build a company that supports your goals—financially and personally—before and after a sale.

If you’re serious about growing the value of your business without burning out or selling short, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Watch the full episode of Tip Top: Grow Up Your Business with Metronomics with Shannon Susko and Ryan Tansom here: https://youtu.be/-1aE2uhtrU4
