Evan Jackson: The Power of Showing Up: Leadership, Risk & Resilience with Evan Jackson

from Happy Business Radio · host Peter Salerno and Podcast City

What does success really mean if you’re not happy? In this heartfelt episode of Happy Business Radio, Peter Salerno welcomes Evan Jackson — a respected insurance broker, leader, and mentor — for a raw, inspiring conversation about happiness, purpose, and showing up fully in business and life. Evan shares the defining moment when he walked away from a high-powered corporate role, not because he failed, but because he wasn’t happy. With nothing more than conviction, values, and belief in himself, he built what has become one of Australia’s most respected insurance brokerages — earning Large Broker of the Year and leading a team of more than 35 people. Together, Peter and Evan explore what it truly means to lead: understanding risk, building teams around shared values, letting go of ego, and measuring success by effort rather than outcomes. Evan’s stories — from coaching underdog soccer teams to mentoring staff — reveal a powerful truth: people thrive when they feel valued, purposeful, and aligned with what they do. This episode is a reminder that business isn’t just about profit, policies, or performance — it’s about people, purpose, and creating a life you actually enjoy. If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt stuck in a role that no longer fits, or wondered what success should really look like, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.
