How clear are you on what you’re really “hunting, protecting, and growing” in your life and work?

In my latest conversation on The Business Elevation Show with Anthony Willoughby, we explored his 'Territory Mapping' framework—developed from decades spent with tribal communities across the globe.

What struck me most was how simplicity and honesty can unlock profound clarity.

Key insights:

- Leaders often overcomplicate strategy—tribal wisdom teaches us to return to fundamentals.

- Belonging is not a luxury; it’s the glue that sustains resilient organisations.

- Mapping helps uncover where your energy is truly being spent versus where you want it to be.

Curious what explorers and business leaders can teach us about leadership?

In the latest episode of The Business Elevation Show, I sat down with Anthony Willoughby—an explorer, entrepreneur, and the genius behind Territory Mapping—to uncover how ancient tribal wisdom can sharpen modern leadership.

From Kenya’s Maasai to remote tribes in Papua New Guinea, Anthony revealed how a deep sense of belonging, trust, and identity fuels purpose in business and life.

We also explore how creating your own Territory Map—visualising what you’re hunting, protecting, and growing—can bring clarity, connection, and adaptability to any organisation or individual.

Takeaways:
- Indigenous communities model trust and identity in ways modern businesses often miss.

- Territory Maps bring hidden motivations into the light—helping teams align with shared purpose.

- Mapping isn’t a one-off—update as roles, projects, and priorities shift to stay agile.

How can storytelling spark real social impact?

That’s one of the questions I explored with Duro Oye on the latest episode of Business Elevation Show. His own story—moving from filmmaker to CEO of 20/20 Levels—is a powerful reminder of how passion and purpose can transform lives.

A few things I took away from our conversation:

- Your story is more powerful than you think—it can change perceptions, inspire people, and even attract the right partners.

- Social mobility starts with the skills young people often miss out on in school—financial literacy, digital fluency, emotional intelligence, and the confidence that comes through mentoring.

- Integrity and trust aren’t “nice to haves”—they’re essential when building partnerships that can unlock serious impact.

If you’re passionate about possibility, integrity, and bold purpose, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
