What separates the world's most successful business people from everyone else? Intelligence, charisma, connections, or something less obvious?

Neil Plumridge and Robert Nason are co-founders of RAYN Group and authors of Rainmaker (Available Here), bringing decades of global leadership experience across Kearney, EY, PwC, KPMG and Telstra. Robert shares his unlikely journey from leaving school at 15 to helping transform Telstra, while Neil reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped his international career.

In this conversation with Vidit, they unpack why exceptional performers are made, not born, how major business deals are won long before the pitch, and the five levels of trust that separate good performers from extraordinary ones. From a hair-raising motorbike ride through Mumbai to turning one idea into 14 global consulting engagements, they reveal the hidden habits behind lasting success and why AI could make human relationships more valuable than ever.

Please enjoy exploring your curiosity.
