Business owners globally turn to Keith for inspiration, insights and ideas on how they and their people can be their best.
When I asked Keith what he’d love to share with you, the motivated small business owner, here’s what he said:
“Nothing great happens until someone becomes passionate about something. So let’s talk about how to find your WHY, because when that becomes clear the HOW becomes easy. There’s thousands of great marketing ideas that work, however you need personal passion so your suitably engaged to implement them.”
Boom! My thoughts entirely!

- Learn how to find your why in business
- Discover how to harness your passion
- Be reminded how to make room for the important stuff
- Hear about the power of generosity
- And soooo much more!
Plus I got seeded with some MuffNuts. Yep, MuffNuts. The donut that thinks it’s a muffin! So I smashed a few down with two of my kids then we do a very serious, in-depth review ;0) Oh, and they come up with some ripper marketing ideas to ensure every young person in Australia knows about them [insert proud Dad blush]

My Top 5 Marketing Tips from my chat with Keith:
- Spend a good amount of time finding your WHY.
- Be receptive and open to when the universe taps you on the shoulder and says “Hey, here’s an opportunity to be your best. Take it!”
- Make room on your plate for the things that your passionate about. This doesn’t mean getting a bigger plate, it means creating space by deleting the things you’re not passionate about.
- Celebrate the little wins.
- Stand for something. If you don’t then you’ll fall for anything.
Over to you!

First off, LOVED the kids on the show. They need to come on more. Loved hearing the interaction. Makes you more approachable.
Next, loved the conversation around passion. Still working through this. Had a great experience today that reminded me of where I want to be.
Loved the talk about focusing on three things and cutting out what you don’t need to focus on. Still have a lot of things I have to do.
Could listen to this episode once a week as a reminder of things I need to focus on. A bit different than most of your shows, but a ripper!
Well done Timbo for bringing your kids on and how well mannered they are – also great podcast which I will listen to a good few times
Regards Sean
Thanks Sean. I loved doing it. #ProudOldMan
Thanks Nick. Yes, it was different, but a message that needs to be spread. And Keith is the man to spread it. Amazing guy. Will find another way to bring the kids back soon!
We live a while for ourselves, but forever in our children
Great episode, Timbo. Particularly liked the segment with the kids. They had some really good ideas, and good to get some insight directly from younger people. They present as articulate and intelligent. No wonder you are proud.
I still don’t believe passion is good for you, but energy and enthusiasm certainly are. Good broad discussion to be had about how you can make a difference to the world.
Great episode Timbo, and you can rightfully be proud of your kids, they came across really well, and obviously been picking up some great tips from Dad!
As a very proud Dad myself, I could relate to the ‘dynamics’ in the room as you were recording… very special moment, and a great memory for you all.
Also a great guest – I’ll be honest and say I had never listened to Keith previously, but certainly will look him up now. He seems like a good guy, someone who seemingly cares about life and other people – good on him!
It was interestingly coincidental that you talked about finding our ‘why’ – the book I’m listening to this week is Simon Sinek’s ‘Start With the Why’… another wee bit of tree-hugging-woo-woo. If only life was full of passionate (energetic, enthused, and engaged) people…. we’d all be in a much happier place!
I’m now in the mood for a cuppa and a muffnut!
Timbo, Great show mate. Love the kids on the show, shows your a real person. The interview rocks, so many nuggets of gold baby! Just wanted to let you know i shared the audio i did with a friend for you in ep 207. He subscribed and started from the start. He loves your show. His business Double Decker Ice Cream, the dude converted a double decker bus into an ice cream parlor. Talk about being the Purple Cow Eh! All the best Timbo, Chat soon Mate

Enjoyed the cameo from the kids Timbo.
Do the MuffNut crew know you spoke about them? Might be worth them stopping by and dropping a cheeky link back to their shopping cart 😉
Hi John. Thank you for your kind comments and I appreciate you looking me. Keep on pursuing your passions. Regards, Keith
Thanks Justin for your comment. You are right energy applied to the right purpose. Have a strong reason gives you enthusiasm. Passion without purpose or a plan will never give you progress. Regards, Keith
HI Nick. I am glad you liked the conversation Tim and I had around passion, focusing on 3 goals. I often say goal setting is easy, remaining focused is the hard part. Regards, Keith
This is the best podcast episode I’ve listened to this year. My lunch break is at 11:15 and I plan on running to Dymocks and grabbing a copy of Keith’s book It Starts With Passion.
Love it, Josh. Thanks for your feedback.
Will do, Tappo. It was my neighbour who knows them and had them seed me!
Thanks Steve. I love a bit of purple cow action! What a great idea.
Great interview Timbo. Such an important personal development discussion for small businesses
