Two Blokes One Business
Two Blokes One Business is a weekly business podcast for entrepreneurs, founders, recruiters, and aspiring business owners who want real lessons on starting, growing, and scaling a business.
Hosted by Harvey Rivers and Adam Powell, two ex-professional footballers who built HARWELL., a specialist recruitment agency that generated $1.25M in year one, $6M in year two, and ranked #5 on the Australian Financial Review's Top 100 Fast Starters.
Every episode digs into what it actually takes to build, lead, and grow a company - including the decisions that paid off, the ones that didn't, and everything in between.
In solo episodes, Harvey and Adam break down the lessons, mistakes, and strategies they wish someone had told them three years ago when they were starting out.
In guest episodes, they sit down for candid conversations with Australia's top entrepreneurs, leaders, and world-class performance experts - to unpack what actually drives success in business and life.
If you want practical insights on building a business, scaling a company, and making smarter moves as an entrepreneur, this is the podcast for you.

How To Know If Entrepreneurship Is Actually For You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you actually cut out to be an entrepreneur… or are you better off staying employed?
In this episode, we’re unpacking the REAL traits of successful entrepreneurs, the mindset required to start and grow a business, and business ownership vs a traditional career.
We’re also exploring the psychological side of entrepreneurship, including fear, self-doubt, responsibility, discipline, and the reality of living without a safety net.
Inspired by lessons seen in high performers like Alex Hormozi, Steven Bartlett, and Tony Robbins, you’ll hear what separates people who think about starting a business from those who actually build one.
Tune in to hear about:
👉How to tell if you’re wired for entrepreneurship
👉Signs you should (or shouldn’t) start a business
👉The difference between a job, a career, and a calling
👉Why being “comfortable” can be more dangerous than being unhappy
👉Entrepreneur mindset vs employee mindset
👉The real stress and responsibility of business ownership
👉High-performance habits that transfer into entrepreneurship
👉Why discipline beats motivation in business
👉How belief, action, and results create momentum
If you’ve ever wondered “Should I start a business?”, felt stuck in a comfortable job, or questioned whether you have what it takes to succeed in entrepreneurship - this conversation is for you.
Key moments:
00:02:40 The no-drinking experiment
00:10:40 Am I cut out to be an entrepreneur?
00:13:40 Why people jump into entrepreneurship
00:17:00 The Region Beta Paradox explained

00:41:00 Skills you need versus skills you can learn
00:47:00 Decision-making difference
00:52:00 Why life outside work determines success inside it
Whether you're considering leaving your job to start a business, already in the early stages of entrepreneurship, or simply curious about what business ownership is really like…
You’ll walk away with clarity on whether this path fits your personality, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
