The final episode of Season 7 of Relentless: Life On Your Terms — and our 140th episode — features a very special guest: Tamas Szabo, Group CEO of Pepperstone, an international financial services company. This one is different. It’s raw, honest, and full of perspective from someone who has built success not just in business — but in life. Tamas’s journey is built on: 🔥 A “fire in the belly” forged from humble beginnings 🌍 Scaling a global business across multiple continents and regulatory environments 📈 Leading in an industry where uncertainty is the only constant 🧠 Making decisions in high-pressure, high-stakes environments ⚡ Executing relentlessly — even when the plan changes But what stands out most is his mindset. No shortcuts. No “get rich quick.” Just discipline, patience, and the ability to take calculated risks. In this episode, we explore: 💡 Why execution will always outperform ideas 📊 The reality of financial markets — and why most people get it wrong 👥 Hiring lessons: why it’s better to wait than settle 🔄 The importance of adapting fast when plans inevitably change 🧘‍♂️ Managing pressure, health and performance at the highest level One of the most powerful takeaways: “Execution is everything… you don’t need to be the smartest person — you just need to do it.” And another that hits just as hard: “Take calculated risks.” Because whether it’s business, investing, or life — playing it safe rarely gets you where you want to go. This is the perfect way to close out Season 7. A conversation for leaders, founders, investors — and anyone serious about building a life on their terms. 🎧 Now live on Relentless: Life On Your Terms #RelentlessPodcast #Leadership #Entrepreneurship #Execution #BusinessGrowth #Investing #Mindset #LifeOnYourTerms Message us

Through her journey, Emmaline is: 🧠 Guiding leaders to align business strategy with personal values 🚀 Building businesses that prioritise clarity, purpose and sustainable growth 💡 Helping individuals unlock performance through mindset and self-awareness ⚖️ Challenging the traditional “hustle at all costs” approach to success But what truly stands out is *how* she got here. Her career began in the corporate world — gaining deep experience in leadership, structure and performance. But along the way, she recognised something many professionals feel but struggle to articulate: Success on paper doesn’t always equal fulfilment in reality. That realisation became the catalyst for change. What followed was a transition into entrepreneurship — not just to build businesses, but to build them *differently*. With intention. With alignment. And with a clear understanding that long-term success comes from within, not just external outcomes. In this episode, we explore: 🔥 The shift from corporate success to purpose-driven entrepreneurship 🧭 What “alignment” really means in business and life 💡 Why self-awareness is a competitive advantage ⚡ How to build a business that actually supports your life — not consumes it This is a conversation for founders, leaders and anyone questioning whether the path they’re on truly reflects what they want. 🎧 Now live on Relentless: Life On Your Terms #RelentlessPodcast #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #WomenInBusiness #BusinessGrowth #Mindset #LifeOnYourTerms Message us

At just 14, she was already working in her family’s hospitality business — learning the ropes from the ground up. By her early 20s, she was managing large-scale venues, juggling multiple jobs, and developing the ability to think on her feet, solve problems fast and stay calm under pressure. No shortcuts. Just real experience. What followed was a journey through marketing, working across major global brands — before taking the leap into building her own ventures. And then came one of the toughest tests. When COVID hit, the hospitality industry was brought to a standstill. Within just 4 days, Heleena and her team completely pivoted their business model — transforming a dine-in restaurant into a fully operational takeaway and delivery business across multiple platforms. No roadmap. No guarantees. Just execution.

So in 2017, she made a decision. With just $5,000 and a desk in her spare bedroom, she started her own firm. No guarantees. No safety net. What happened next? Within months, the business was growing. Within three months, she hired her first team member. By the end of the year, she had doubled her income. In this episode, we explore: 🔥 The courage to walk away from a broken system 💡 Why trusting your gut instinct is a business superpower 🧭 Building confidence through execution, not theory ❤️ Creating impact through initiatives like The Giving Project One of the most powerful takeaways: Your instinct is often right — but success comes from having the courage to act on it.

As a young man, Michael wanted to become a pilot. Aviation inspired him. Freedom. Altitude. Adventure. His father, however, encouraged him to pursue accounting — something that initially felt structured, technical… even boring. What he couldn’t see at the time was that mastering a disciplined craft would give him exactly what he was chasing: freedom. Today, accounting has provided him the platform to build a successful career, create security for his family and — in a full circle moment — enjoy flying as a leisure pursuit, on his own terms. In this episode, we explore: 🔥 The power of delayed gratification 💡 Why discipline often precedes freedom 🧭 Building a career that creates options ✈️ Turning childhood ambition into adult reality This conversation is powerful for professionals, business leaders and anyone navigating the tension between passion and practicality. 🎧 Now live on Relentless: Life On Your Terms #RelentlessPodcast #Leadership #Discipline #LongTermThinking #LifeOnYourTerms Message us
