Because being a good boss is about more than being the boss. What makes a good boss? And what does it really mean to lead well? Project Good Boss is a fresh, funny and thought-provoking take on leadership, people and the power we all have to make a difference. Hosted by Anna Sheppard, the show brings together honest conversations, real stories, unexpected insights and a healthy dose of humour to explore what it takes to bring out the best in people. From workplace culture and kindness to influence, human behaviour and the everyday moments that shape our working lives, we're challenging outdated ideas about leadership and celebrating those doing things differently. No corporate jargon. No perfect leaders. Just real people, brilliant conversations and practical inspiration. Because you don't need a fancy title to be a good boss. You just need to understand the influence you have. Lead with kindness. Bring out the best in others. Leave a legacy worth talking about. Project Good Boss is an original production from Bambuddha Studios.

    Jon Owen: What Would Love Do?

    What if the most powerful thing a leader could do was simply make someone feel seen, heard and valued? On World Kindness Day, we're launching the next chapter of Project Good Boss with a conversation that gets right to the heart of what leadership should really be about. Our first guest is Jon Owen, Pastor and CEO of Wayside Chapel, a man whose extraordinary life and work challenge almost everything we think we know about leadership, community and what it means to help others. For ten years, Jon and his wife Lisa opened their home in Mount Druitt to refugees, people seeking asylum, people leaving prison and neighbours simply looking for somewhere to belong. Today, his approach to leadership is grounded in one powerful philosophy: there should be no us and them. In this refreshingly honest, funny and deeply moving conversation, we explore: Why nobody is a problem to be solved, but a person to be met.The power of connection, dignity and creating genuine belonging.Why good intentions don't always translate into good help.The socks in the back pocket rule: sometimes the best thing a leader can do is stop talking and start listening.What happens when a billionaire and someone sleeping rough sit down for a cup of tea.Why kindness, boundaries and knowing when to say no belong together.The importance of gratitude, self-reflection and doing the work on yourself.And the question every leader should ask themselves: What would love do?Expect big ideas, unexpected laughs, a questionable Yorkshire accent, an emotional support Prince and some seriously good food for thought. We're kicking off Project Good Boss on World Kindness Day because we believe kindness isn't a weakness, a soft skill or a nice-to-have. It's a powerful way to lead, connect and bring out the best in others. No corporate jargon. No perfect leaders. Just real people and conversations that might change the way you see the world.
