Former professional footballers Mollie and Rosie Kmita and now founders of The Powerhouse Project join me for one of the most authentic leadership stories we’ve had on the podcast.
This episode is packed with real leadership stories you rarely hear: the setbacks, the identity shifts, the emotional toll, and the courage it takes to keep showing up when things don’t go your way.
Mollie and Rosie openly share:
- What it took to succeed in a male dominated world
- How to lead through failure after two businesses didn’t work out
- How they learnt to slow down without losing ambition
- How they have evolved their identity from footballers to business owners
- The impact people-pleasing had on their leadership decisions
- How they have had to learn to lean into conflict
Mollie and Rosie show what success after repeated failure actually looks like - the mindset resets, and the quiet self-belief you need to keep going.
These are everyday leadership stories delivered with humour, honesty and heart, the kind that remind you anything is possible when you focus, put the work in, and back yourself.
