Hi Ben Thanks for sharing your story and about life energy when the battery is low! I know that feeling and resetting and reframing is important. we are thrilled to have you at KPMG - a big change and a different dynamic but I know you will put the work in the benefits will come :) Being adaptive is the skill set you are working hard at and it will stand you in good stead! #gobrumbies
Just tremendous Ben - both the story you’re sharing and your skill as a writer and story-teller in such an important and oft cliche filled space. Means a great deal to many of us, Best, Kate & Clare Carnell.
Overload burnout can really take its toll and you certainly had a lot on your plate. But I’m always very inspired by how motivated you always seem to be. Congrats on your new position. …I’m sure you’ll go well. I hope it takes a bit of the burden off you
Top stuff, Ben. Have a similar thingy going on. Got a grown-up job with the requirement to wear actual long pants, even a suit on occasion, the payment for which takes a lot of weight off and allows the passion projects to bubble along in the background without the pressure of thinking they're the only road to glory. And not bad fun either. Good luck with KPMG. Will get along for a run with you one evening when i'm in the hood.
You’re never alone, Ben. Start-ups and biz in general is hard work, of which you’re no stranger too! But then add in life’s daily admin, deaths of loved ones and a rolling pandemic - you’ve got the ultimate cluster. It’s a huge test that we all have to make our way through at some point in life.
Glad to hear KPMG is home for now while you find the next gear.
Thanks for sharing (really appreciate your honesty) & Up-Up Brumbs!🐴

KPMG! That's awesome! Pumped for you, you'll kill it.
Taking 3/4 kids to the Brumbies on sat as well, I'll keep an eye out for you!
Love your work Ben!
Always love reading your blog.
You might enjoy the imperfects podcast. (If you aren't already a listener :))
Change initiatives can get messy, so I reckon your scrummaging experience will help with change management!
Good move and glad to hear you are doing well. I worked for EY consulting for about 5 years - great experience.
Cheers,
Ben
Oh and go all the Aussie teams this weekend!
