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.

Two Blokes One Business
Inside The 5-Step Plan We’d Use To Quit A Job And Start A Business (Safely)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Before you quit your job and start a business, you need a plan. We’re sharing how to leave your job and start a business without blowing up your life.
We talk through the real transition from employee to entrepreneur, including what we got right, what we got wrong, and the steps we’d take today - if we were leaving a stable job to build a business from scratch.
This is for anyone stuck in a corporate career, working a high-paying job that no longer feels aligned, or wondering whether their current career path is actually taking them where they want to go.
We cover how to make the leap safely, how to build momentum before you quit, how to use your current skills and network to create a business idea, and how to set your “leap number” before going all in.
Tune in to hear about
👉 How to know if your current job is taking you toward the life you actually want
👉 How to start building a business while still working full-time
👉 The benefits and risks of turning a side hustle into a full-time business
👉 How to use your existing skills, knowledge, and network to reduce risk
👉 Why the best business idea may already be hidden inside your current career
👉 How much money you may need before quitting your job
👉 How to set your “leap number” before making the jump
👉 The mistakes we made when leaving employment and launching our own business
👉 How to transition from employee to business owner without unnecessary chaos

If you are asking yourself questions like “Should I quit my job?”, “How do I start a business?”, “How much money should I save before leaving my job?”, - this episode will give you a practical framework to think through the decision properly.
