In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the amazing Sarah Potts — a gal I had the pleasure of crossing paths with during my time at Southern Cross Austereo, where she was the General Manager of both the Sydney and Central Coast offices.
From starting out as a Legal EA to leading one of the biggest media teams in the country, Sarah’s 15-year journey at SCA is anything but traditional — and that’s what makes it so inspiring.
She shares how she climbed the ladder by being unapologetically herself, saying yes to opportunities, and leaning into mentorship and team culture. Her approach to leadership is authentic, passionate, and grounded in the belief that people always come first.
If you're in the corporate world, chasing a leadership role, or just love hearing from women who are doing things their own way — this one's for you.
💬 We talk:
Going from EA to GM (and owning it)
Women in leadership (with heart)
Mentorship, growth & saying yes
Creating positive team culture
Why being real is your biggest asset
Thank you, Sarah, for finally saying yes — I wasn’t taking no for an answer. Hehe. We hope you love this chat!

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
