The Business Game
The Business Game
The Business Game is not another highlight reel of overnight success. It is a structured, honest breakdown of what it really takes to build, scale, and sustain a business at every level.
We built The Business Game around a simple truth: business changes as revenue changes. The problems at $500K are not the problems at $5M. The mindset at $5M is not the mindset at $50M. That is why every conversation is grounded in our 10-Level framework, from Level 1 Startup and Survival through to Level 10 Legacy and Exit.
If you are:
• Trying to get your first consistent revenue
• Building your first real team
• Breaking through the messy middle
• Scaling toward eight or nine figures
• Or preparing for exit
There is an episode that meets you where you are.
Hosted by Steve Plummer and Kalena Stano, who speak to founders operating at every stage of the game. No gatekeeping. No hype. No recycled advice. Just real numbers, real mistakes, real strategy, and real decisions that moved the needle.
Each week, we publish two episodes every Monday and Thursday at 6pm AEST, featuring global founders, operators, and investors who break down what actually works at their level and what does not.
The Business Game exists to give you clarity. To help you identify your current level. To show you the moves required to reach the next one.
Because scaling is not random. It is a game. And every level has different rules.
Find your level. Play it properly. Then level up.

Shark Tank Alum: Turning Household Chores Into a Multi-Million Dollar Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Unsexy Business That Went Viral on Shark Tank, proves you do not need a trendy industry to build a scalable company, you need systems, clarity, and the courage to keep going when it gets messy.
Susan Toft, founder and CEO of The Laundry Lady, sharing how she scaled a simple service into a platform powered business with nearly 500 contractors across Australia and New Zealand and a growing presence in Canada.
Susan walks through the real bottlenecks behind growth including building the right tech while bootstrapping, surviving major life disruptions, and learning how to delegate before the business could truly scale. She also explains why Shark Tank became marketing gold and how she reframed the story from laundry service to scalable platform so investors could understand the opportunity.
If you are building a service business, hiring contractors, or trying to scale while staying true to your values, this episode is packed with practical lessons on systems, leadership, and sustainable growth.
