What if the way you lead is the very thing holding your business back?
In this episode of RadEO, Ross sits down with Joss Du Trevou, a leadership coach who has spent years helping high-performing entrepreneurs, CEOs, and teams get out of their own way.
Joss believes that most business problems aren’t external; they’re internal. Your fears, mindset, and habits shape how you show up as a leader. If you’re not paying attention, they might be the biggest bottleneck in your business.
Key Takeaways:
- Your leadership sets the ceiling for your business growth.
- Most leaders are blind to their own weaknesses.
- You don’t need all the answers.
We get into self-sabotage, imposter syndrome, the power of coaching, and why ego is the silent killer of business growth.
If you’re a founder, CEO, or just someone trying to figure out how to lead better, this episode will change your thoughts about leadership.

More about Joss Du Trevou
Joss Du Trevou has been on both sides of leadership; running billion-rand corporate teams and scaling his own family business. Now, he helps entrepreneurs do what he had to learn the hard way: get out of their own way.
He grew Ecomotel from 3 to 6 branches, scaling revenue past R30 million while building a team that could run without him. Before that? 18 years in investment banking, leading teams at ABSA, Nedbank, and global banks, managing billions in corporate finance.
Now, as an ICF-accredited executive coach, EO mentor, and UCT Business School coach, he helps founders stop micromanaging, overworking, and getting stuck in the weeds so they can actually lead.
Because if your business falls apart the second you step back, you don’t own a business, you own a prison.
