The Growth Distillery x Jean Oelwang

Our cofounder Jean Oelwang was honored to join a conversation with Dan Krigstein on the Rules Don’t Apply vodcast for The Growth Distillery while attending SxSW Sydney.

In this episode, they explore:

• Why genuine partnership still feels “radical” in business
• How love (yes, love!) can be a legitimate leadership strategy
• What companies get wrong about culture and how to fix it
• The rituals, values and behaviours that make relationships last
• How we can rebuild unity in a world addicted to division

This conversation is equal parts moving, energising and delightfully human featuring stories of radical hope, unexpected friendships and the kind of leadership we all wish we saw more of.
