Dan Urquhart

We believe your depth determines height. So, we dig deep in conversations with people who, despite their success, know they still haven't got it all together. But, they have overcome, they have amazing life stories, and despite their achievements, they care enough to stop and bring us on their journey. Our mission is simple: to empower leaders to empower those they lead. So, let's dig deep.

    BONUS EPISODE: Seasons, Leadership & why you can't build alone | Dan Urquhart

    Dan Urquhart from 1000 Feet Deep is back on the couch... and this one gets real fast. Dan knows what it looks like when a building business starts to crack under the weight of its own success. He lived it. And now he helps builders understand the foundations they need before the cracks appear...not after. In this episode, Az and Dan get into why success can actually be the most dangerous thing for a business without the right foundation underneath it. They talk about negative momentum, the worker vs. leader mindset, and why the phrase "I just can't find good people" is usually a leadership problem in disguise. They also cover Dan's upcoming events - a webinar on March 11th and a one-day masterclass on March 19th in Newcastle - built around the three foundations every building business needs: leadership, team, and organisational structure. If you've ever felt like things are rolling downhill and you can't stop it — this one's for you. What we cover: Why success has weight - and what happens when your business can't carry it The difference between a worker mindset and a leadership mindset Negative momentum: what it is and how to spot it before it takes over Why "I can't find good people" is the wrong question Dan's March webinar and masterclass — what they cover and who they're for.  This is a wide-ranging chat about leadership, team, culture, and the foundations that hold a building business together when the season shifts. Dan shares what he learned through COVID at GJ Gardner, why a strong mission gives you a backbone to measure problems against, and the three questions every leader should be asking themselves regularly: what do I need to drop off, what do I need to take up, and what do I need to move on from. It also gets personal. Both Dan and Az speak openly about the baggage leaders carry from past seasons, the cost of trying to do it all alone, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is the difference between weathering the next storm and getting caught out by it. In this episode: The seasons mindset and why leaders need to be present in the now while preparing for what's coming. The COVID lesson about success having weight, and why foundations are exposed when the pressure ramps up. Why mission, vision and core values are not corporate fluff but the anchor that lets you right-size every problem you face. Leadership, team and culture as the only three things you can actually control, and why everything else (reputation, consistency, finances, communication) is a byproduct. Why builders going to coach after coach are often trying to fix problems that started with weak leadership foundations. The personal side of leadership, the scars we carry into the next season, and why healing matters before the next chapter. Plus, Az floats a new idea: a living case study where The Good Builder backs one builder through the systems, leadership development and processes that we believe make a good builder. If that's you, get in touch.
