#112: David Galbraith: The Ghost Mind Coach Behind NZ's Greatest Athletes on What Separates Phenomenal From Everyone Else

Before David Galbraith ever set foot in an elite sporting environment, he spent years inside New Zealand's criminal justice system - working with serious offenders, child abuse teams, and men trying to break multi-generational cycles of violence. That foundation, he says, is what separates everything he does today from almost anyone else in his field. David is a registered clinical psychologist and performance coach who has worked alongside some of New Zealand's greatest sporting names - from Lisa Carrington's Olympic campaigns to Rugby World Cup campaigns with the Brave Blossoms (Japan Rugby) and the Chiefs. He doesn't work in the spotlight. He works in the shadows. And in this conversation, he goes deep. For rural salespeople - people who know what it means to face pressure, rejection, and keep showing up when the conditions are against them - this episode is a masterclass in what actually separates the phenomenal from everyone else. It's not talent. It's not luck. According to David, it comes down to one word: maturity. 00:00 — Trailer 01:19 — Intro 02:17 — Working With Offenders 11:20 — The Draw to Psychology 15:10 — Farming & Gratitude 16:19 — Why People Never Change 1 19:45 — Overprotecting Our Kids 22:22 — Viktor Frankl on Maturity 25:37 — Elite Performance Secrets 2 33:48 — Sir Edmund Hillary's Courage 39:47 — Bad Habits Exposed 48:41 — What Great Coaches Do 54:53 — Find David Connect with David on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/drgalbraith/]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

#110: Jeff Bajorek: The AI Shift Separating Great Sales Managers From The Rest

Most sales training gets forgotten before the rep even gets back in the truck. Jeff Bajorek has spent his career figuring out why - and more importantly, what to do instead. Rather than arriving with a polished playbook and telling teams how it's going to be, Jeff listens first. He co-creates training from the inside out, built on what the best reps in the room are already doing well. The result? Curriculum that actually sticks, because the people taking it can see themselves succeeding in it. In this episode: * Why most sales training fails before it starts * The 3 non-negotiables for any rural sales rep's mindset * Why your team is your customer (and what that actually means) * The frontline manager squeeze - and how the best leaders handle it * Knowledge vs expertise: what AI changes for rural reps * How to build accountability that reps actually respect * The "Know Why You Win" framework and why self-awareness is your edge Connect with Jeff on ⁠⁠LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffbajorek/]⁠⁠.

#109: Meridith Powell: How to Turn Uncertainty Into Competitive Advantage

Hall of Fame speaker, best-selling author and business strategist Meridith Elliott Powell joins St John Craner to deliver one of the most direct, no-nonsense conversations about sales leadership we've had on the show. Meridith has built her career helping sales leaders turn uncertainty into competitive advantage - and in 2026, that message has never been more relevant. In this episode she shares why the biggest opportunity in sales right now has nothing to do with AI or technology, how to build the kind of leverage that makes even the chairman listen to you, and why the most dangerous thing a leader can do is avoid a hard conversation. Whether you're a rural sales rep, a newly promoted manager, or a seasoned leader navigating a fast-moving market - this one is for you. 00:00 — Trailer & Introduction 02:33 — The Biggest Disruption in Sales Right Now 08:00 — How to Build Power Through Performance 12:20 — The Ask for Change Framework 30:15 — The 5 Buckets of Confident Leadership 36:25 — Why Accountability Is an Act of Love 41:45 — Balance vs Priority 46:45 — Once piece of advice for sales leaders Connect with Meridith on ⁠LinkedIn⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/meridithelliottpowell].

#108: David Thomson: The Hidden Sales Curriculum Nobody Teaches You

David Thomson left school at 16 with no qualifications, worked in a boot factory for £130 a week, and joined the army because there was nothing else. By the time he was done, he was the #1 financial advisor in the UK - doing 7 mortgages a week while others struggled to do that in a month. In this episode of Rural Sales Success, David breaks down the exact system behind elite sales performance - the stuff they never teach you. We cover: → Why growth mindset is bulls**t (and what actually works) → The hidden curriculum behind every top salesperson → His dead-simple referral system that put his business on steroids → The PIGGY model - the future pacing tool that closes deals → Why you can't get transformation from information alone → How to use your daily commute as a secret weapon Whether you're driving between farms or building a sales team from scratch - this episode will change how you think about selling.
