“The world needs more kind people” with Ben Lucas

“The world needs more kind people” with Ben Lucas

Author: Piccolo Podcasts November 17, 2020 Duration: 29:23
When I asked my guest for this episode what his word of the day was, he said ‘sensational’ – and you could feel the positive energy flowing through the room! Ben Lucas started his career in the NRL playing for the Cronulla Sharks before moving into the fitness industry. He ran three of Australia’s most successful personal training studios, but sold them in 2012 to start a new venture with yoga trainer Kate Kendall – Flow Athletic. More of a community than just a gym, Flow Athletic offers a unique combination of strength, cardio and yoga, and won the Telstra Start-Up of the Year in 2015. Ben is dedicated to his business and works long hours, but he is also very mindful of being present as a father to his two young children. Tune in to hear us talk about Flow’s 24-hour online pivot at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown, why he has no patience for people who want to pick his brain, and how he achieved his goal of running forty marathons before his fortieth birthday.

The podcast focuses on the intersection of public relations, personal branding, and authentic leadership, exploring how these elements combine to create a genuine and lasting impact. It’s for anyone curious about the substance behind the public image, offering a candid look at the craft of reputation and the weight of influence. Tune in for thoughtful, in-depth dialogues that move well past the press releases and into the heart of what drives meaningful success in business and beyond.
