The Broken Leg That Built a CEO | What I Wish I Knew at 30

Описание: What if the moment that stopped you… was the moment that changed everything?

In this episode of What I Wish I Knew at 30, I sit down with ‪@Samanthatait‬ founder of BRND Group, to unpack how a broken leg, a marriage breakdown, and total uncertainty became the foundation for resilience, leadership, and business success.

After breaking her leg playing rugby for England, Samantha was forced to slow down and in that stillness, she spotted an opportunity that would reshape her career. What began as a scrappy social media experiment turned into one of Australia’s leading brand and digital strategy agencies.

In this honest, grounded conversation, we explore:
• What Samantha wishes she knew at 30
• Why fast growth can sabotage long-term success
• Letting go of victim stories and drama hooks
• Building confidence through discomfort and change
• Leadership, accountability, and self-awareness
• Why momentum matters more than perfection
