From Pouring Beers to CEO: A Journey of Opportunity & Vision

In this heartfelt and insightful episode, I sit down with not only a highly respected CEO but also a dear friend of over 25 years – Glenn Cushion from Ingleburn RSL. From humble beginnings as a plumber saving for a house deposit to leading one of Sydney’s most community-driven clubs, Glenn shares his incredible journey through the registered club industry. We explore how a "second job" became a lifelong career and how opportunities, culture, and people have shaped his leadership style. His passion for the industry, especially the value of human connection, shines throughout our chat. Glenn and I delve into the exciting redevelopment of the Ingleburn Bowling Club, the importance of aligning team values with workplace culture, and what it truly means to lead with purpose. We also touch on intergenerational workplaces, employee engagement, and the future of clubs amidst regulatory and technological changes. Whether you're a club manager, team leader, or someone exploring a career in hospitality, this episode is filled with inspiration, wisdom, and actionable insights.
