Culture is Everything: Sel Watts on Scaling with the Think Big, Act Small Podcast

In this episode of the Think Big, Act Small Podcast, our CEO, Sel Watts, joins Tristan White for a deep dive into the mechanics of scaling a service-based business. As the founder of wattsnext, Sel has spent over a decade proving that culture isn't just a buzzword, but the foundation of high-performance growth. Together, they explore her unconventional journey and why she believes that "thinking big" is only possible when you have the right people-strategy in place to "act small" and execute with precision.

The conversation provides actionable insights for leaders of small-to-medium businesses, including:

• The Culture Blueprint: Why Sel believes culture should be the very first thing you design when planning for growth.

• Transitioning from Operator to Founder: Sel shares the mindset shifts required to stop "doing" and start leading.

• Disruptive HR: Moving away from administrative "box-ticking" and toward a strategic partnership that drives revenue and engagement.

• Global Expansion with No Plan B: Insights into Sel's bold move to take her brand from Australia to the United States.
