#91 Andrew Bull, The Monstrous Teams Guy (Part 2)

This week I have part one of my chat with Andrew Bull, The Monstrous Teams Guy Andrew Bull is on a mission to help entrepreneurs and teams escape gravity and elevate performance in business and life. Known as the Interstellar Strategist, Bull is adept at identifying ways to elevate team and business performance. Whether on his podcasts or speaking at live events, Bull inspires people to have courage, own their future, and take action. Bull started his career in the UK film industry, where he helped the biggest leaders realise their visions for exciting film and advertising projects (including Harry Potter, Moulin Rouge, 300, Sony, Volvo, Philips). After 18 years of working in the film business, Andrew found himself at a crossroads. Whilst he was materially satisfied, and the work was interesting (travelling the world and meeting different people), he lacked time and freedom for loved ones and hobbies. So in 2016, Bull started his business so he could “own his future” and achieve a better work/life balance. Whilst growing his business, Bull has made plenty of mistakes and suffered brutal lessons. And although he found these lessons hard to suffer in the short-term, in the long-term he’s found them incredibly valuable. They’ve helped Bull grow and elevate his performance. They’ve helped him become a better coach, a better father, and a better person. These lessons also helped Bull discover the truth about a big question: What really drives business performance? The team. If the team isn’t performing at the right level, a business can have the best marketing/sales/product in the world and still struggle to achieve its goals. Even worse, when a team is underperforming, the leader and team have to work more and stress more. And they get sucked into business black holes that consume their time and freedom. Bull wasn’t happy with this situation and did something about it. He created InterstellarWay.Life, a coaching solution that helps leaders and their teams defy gravity and elevate performance in business and life. InterstellarWay.Life offers workshops and team accelerators that help teams overcome the challenges of our Brave New World. In 2022 published Andrew Bull published his first book called Monsters of Team Performance. A book that gives leaders a fast way to elevate their team’s motivation, culture, teamwork, innovation, and wellbeing. Bull is also the host of the popular and highly-rated podcast, the Interstellar Business Show, where he connects technology leaders (CEOs, executives) with the best business ideas and leadership stories. When he’s not busy helping leaders elevate their teams, Bull loves spending time with his family and friends.
