    Fractionals Over Headcount

    Most founders are taught that growth means more. More people, more roles, more headcount. But scale doesn’t come from expansion. It comes from precision. In this conversation, Kerrie McGilvray sits down with Zachary King, a go-to-market fractional who works with founders to rethink how they access capability inside their business. The discussion challenges one of the most ingrained beliefs in business. That hiring full time is the safe option. The reality is that defaulting to headcount often costs founders more time, more money, and more risk than they realise. A full time hire is an eighteen month commitment. A fractional sprint is a three month decision Capacity and experience are not the same thing. Most founders hire one when they need the other The valley between founder led sales and a head of sales is where most companies stall Fractionals don’t replace your team. They build the systems your team can actually run The future belongs to experienced operators armed with context heavy AI tools This episode reframes what growth actually looks like for founders who want to scale without the chaos that comes from hiring too fast. It’s not about cutting corners or doing more with less. It’s about buying the experience you need, when you need it, in the form that fits your stage. If you’ve been told the only way forward is another full time hire, and the cost of getting it wrong feels heavier than the upside of getting it right, this is the conversation worth sitting with.

    Property as a Business Strategy

    In this episode of The Business Rebellion, Kerrie McGilvray sits down with Chris Gray, qualified accountant, mortgage broker, buyer's agent and CEO of Your Empire. Chris started buying property at 22, semi-retired at 31, and now holds over twenty million in property in his personal portfolio. But what stands out is that he treats property as a strategy, not a spectacle. This is a grounded conversation about leverage, optionality and calm. About property as a strategic asset class for founders, not a status move or a get-rich-quick play. In this episode, Kerrie and Chris explore: How ego quietly shows up in property decisions and what real investors do differentlyWhy the best investments are the ones you never want to live inThe mindset gap between buying property to feel successful and buying property to support long-term stabilityWhy most businesses aren't actually saleable, and how property becomes the real plan AThe team founders need around them: mortgage broker, accountant and buyer's agent working togetherWhat rent-vesting actually looks like in practice, and why Chris hasn't lived in his own home for 25 years If you've been thinking about property as something to chase, this episode will reframe it as something to design.

    Numbers Without Fear

    In this episode of the Business Rebellion, Kerrie McGilvray sits down with Sarah Petty, an ex-corporate finance leader, qualified CPA and founder of Olive Business Partners. Sarah brings CFO level thinking to small business owners and works with founders who feel that knot in their stomach when they think about their numbers, not because they don't care, but because finance has been wrapped in pressure, judgment and shame for too long. This is a grounding conversation about clarity, not complexity, and how true financial visibility can actually create relief instead of more pressure for leaders. In this episode, Kerrie and Sarah explore: Why chasing revenue is one of the most common (and costly) mistakes founders make, and what to focus on insteadThe difference between glancing at your numbers and having real financial visibility that lets you look forward, not just backWhy your bank balance is a misleading comfort metric and what it actually tells you (and what it doesn't)The early warning signs in your numbers that show up well before burnout, cash stress or chaotic leadershipHow financial clarity changes the way you lead your team and creates calm across the whole businessWhere to start if you feel behind or intimidated, including the three numbers to look at every weekThe mindset shift Sarah wants every business owner to make: numbers are data, not judgment Whether you are running a service based business, scaling past a million in revenue, or quietly avoiding your numbers because they feel too heavy, this episode will help you reframe what financial leadership actually looks like.

    Business Sale Readiness

    Most founders assume their business is valuable because of what they’ve built. But the market doesn’t reward effort, it rewards transferability. And the gap between those two is where value quietly disappears.  In this conversation, Kerrie McGilvray sits with Jack Lee, a principal in business sales and capital raising, to unpack what actually makes a business sellable. Not in theory, but at the point where founders are ready to exit and the market decides what it’s worth. The discussion moves beyond valuation formulas into something more confronting. The reality that most businesses are built to survive the founder, not succeed without them. A profitable business is not automatically a sellable one. Buyers assess risk, not effortFounder dependency doesn’t increase value. It signals instability and reduces itClean numbers are not just compliance. They are credibility in the eyes of a buyer- Systems and teams are what transfer. Not knowledge held in the founder’s headSale readiness is not a final step. It is a design decision made years in advanceThis episode reinforces a different approach to building. One where intention replaces intensity, and where wealth is created through structure rather than sacrifice. A business that can operate without its founder is not just easier to sell. It is a better business. One that creates optionality, not dependency, and positions the founder to choose what comes next. If your business relies on you more than you’d like to admit, and stepping away would create friction rather than freedom, this is the conversation worth sitting with.

    Wealth Before Hustle

    Most founders are chasing revenue… but still feel financially on edge. In this opening episode of *The Business Rebellion*, Kerrie McGilvray sits down with Adam Drinkwater, Head of Advice at Treysta Wealth, to challenge one of the biggest assumptions in business: That wealth comes *after* the hustle. This conversation unpacks why: Revenue is not profit High income doesn’t equal financial security Waiting to think about wealth is costing you more than you realise The right advisors are leverage, not an expense Because wealth isn’t something you earn later. It’s something you design alongside your business. If your business is working… but something still isn’t adding up, this episode will shift how you think about money, growth, and leadership. — You Can Connect With Adam Drinkwater:  Website: Treysta Wealth LinkedIn: Adam Drinkwater | Treysta Wealth Instagram: Treysta Wealth Facebook:Treysta Wealth Connect with Kerrie McGilvray: Website: The Admin Superheroes LinkedIn: Kerrie McGilvray | The Admin Superheroes Instagram: Kerrie McGilvray | The Admin Superheroes Explore working together + The Admin Superheroes For founders ready to build with intention, not just intensity
