Let’s Get Building

Starting a business is hard. Keeping it going is even harder. Growing it is the hardest of all. But it’s also one of the best ways to build resilience and contribute to a stronger local community, and a life with more freedom.

Tap the play button to listen to my recent chat with renowned podcast host, Denise Griffitts.

Instead of a future where we’re all dependent on a handful of distant megacap corporations to provide everything we need…

… give me a future where millions of resilient, community-oriented small businesses provide the opportunities we need to live a fulfilling life.

Obscene concentration of power and wealth distorts our humanity and reduces opportunity. But we can choose a different path, one new entrepreneur at a time.

– Paul Austin-Menear
Founder, Six Catalysts

The As-Yet Unnamed Book

Why Entrepreneurship Matters More than Ever

Change is uncomfortable, and pervasive. We’re living in an age where unpredictability is high and our vision into what will happen tomorrow is low. It’s clear to most of us that what used to work, just isn’t working so well right now.

Entrepreneurship is an excellent vehicle to help build the skills and mindset needed to thrive when uncomfortable change is all around. At the same time, our communities grow more resilient and are more pleasant places to live and work.

More entrepreneurs. More personal agency. More resilient communities. Seems like a win-win to me.

What Changes When We Get This Right?

  • Our communities become hubs for innovation and inspiration
  • Organizations become more responsive, and invested in their customers… because they’re also neighbours
  • More money circulates in local economies, helping create prosperity that we can link back to our efforts
  • Our national economies become more resilient, with less dependence on increasingly brittle multinational giants

Introducing Advisory-On-Demand

Builders Travel Together

Often, we’re too close to what we’re building to see all of the possible pathways to success or the hidden risks. The Advisory-on-Demand service is designed for builders who want a regular, unbiased gut check and an ongoing strategic partner… not a holistic feelings coach. Each session typically lasts 60-90 minutes.

About Six Catalysts

Why did I start Six Catalysts instead of cozying up in a corner office somewhere?

I believe that a future with more entrepreneurs is a future where local communities and the people in them are more prosperous, vibrant, and resilient.

I’m wired to support people who are building things—by seeking clarity, sharing knowledge, and solving problems.

I help build organizations, as a fractional leader.

I help builders upskill and grow, as an educator and mentor.

I help founders and teams navigate bumpy roads, as a consultant and advisor.

Let’s build something great together.
