40 years in media. 30 years in entrepreneurship. One’s a media guy turned accidental founder. The other’s a founder who stumbled into media.

Welcome to This Could Be So Good, the new unscripted business podcast with Larry Emdur and Steve Grace.

Filmed on site at The Pillars, the show pulls back the curtain on startup life; the wins, the setbacks, and the real cost of building from scratch.

Coming up in Season 1, we’re sitting down with some of the biggest and most interesting names in business:
* Robert Herjavec: The Shark Tank heavyweight on the chaos of the early days.
* Ant Middleton: The SAS Australia chief on resilience and mental toughness.
* Amal Wakim: On disrupting the health industry and scaling a food empire.
* Gavin Rubenstein: Inside the discipline and drive of the Luxe Listings star.
* Natalie Kyriacou: From environmental activism to building a global impact brand.
* Steve Hui: The “iFlyFlat” founder on hacking the system to travel in luxury.
* Anthony Bell: The celebrity accountant and skipper on high-performance leadership.
* Robin McGowan & James Wakefield: The InStitchu founders on reinventing retail from a garage.

Jeremy Cabral  was explaining Clawdbot to me and I genuinely stopped him mid sentence.

It’s basically a personal AI assistant that lives in chat. But here’s the part that gets wild. You decide how much access it gets. You add permissions slowly. You choose where it lives. Telegram. WhatsApp. Whatever you want.

At first it’s simple. Task lists. Reminders. Find things for you. Then it becomes something else. Because the real power is integrations. That’s the code. That’s where it starts to feel insane.

Thanks for having me on Justin Kelly, always love to talk about The Pillars

The podcaster interviews the podcaster. I recently sat down with Steve Grace, co-founder of The Pillars, for a new episode of The Unicorns Podcast. (I love our similar haircuts, Steve). We talk about why The Pillars was built as a place where people actually spend time together, working, meeting, training, eating, recovering and thinking, not just networking. Steve shares what it takes to restore a heritage Sydney building, build genuine trust and community, and why the right physical space still matters in an increasingly digital, transactional world.
