Habits For a High Performance Business Mindset & Tools for a Successful Relationship

In this practical and personal episode, Tess sits down with her husband Shaun to unpack what high-performance really looks like, not just in business, but in life, leadership and long-term relationships.


From building one of Australia’s most successful consumer brands, Bondi Sands, to navigating marriage, parenthood and loss, this conversation explores the habits, mindset shifts and communication tools that sustain momentum through seasons of growth, pressure and change. Together, Tess and Shaun share how clarity, curiosity and consistency can shape both professional success and a strong, connected partnership.


In this episode:


  • What “Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals” really mean, and why long-term thinking matters
  • How to break big goals down into executable behaviours and daily habits
  • Why focus beats hustle, and why fewer goals lead to better outcomes
  • The role of curiosity in innovation, leadership and personal growth
  • Building high-performance cultures through clarity, candour and trust
  • Delegation, energy management and knowing where your highest impact lies
  • Why routines, sleep, fitness and organisation underpin sustainable success
  • How high-performance habits translate into strong relationships
  • Treating your partnership like a team — supporting each other through different seasons
  • Practical communication tools for alignment, including mirroring and weekly check-ins
  • The importance of values, long-term vision and evolving together over time


This episode is a powerful reminder that success isn’t just about what you achieve — it’s about how you live, lead and love along the way.
