Matthew King - Outwork, Adapt, Influence; The Rear View Mirror is Your Enemy

In this episode, my last for 2024, I’m excited to welcome Matthew King—Managing Director of URPS, a nationally recognised urban planning consultancy. From dreaming of shaping cities as a teenager to leading a business with a growing national footprint, Matthew’s journey is a testament to resilience, ambition, and the power of adaptation. Recognised as one of InDaily’s 40 Under 40, Matthew shares how he balances professional success with personal fulfilment, redefining leadership along the way. He opens up about outworking his competition early on, pushing through limits to learn, and why looking forward—not back—is the key to lasting influence. I’m excited for you to hear Matthew’s story—a journey of hard work, thoughtful leadership, and the drive to make a difference. Thank you for coming on this adventure with me. 🔗 Visit our website www.highpod.au
