In this episode of Playing Bigger, Playing the Beautiful Long Game, host Debbie Zita sits down with Gary Schoeniger, internationally recognised entrepreneurial mindset expert, author, speaker, and Founder and CEO of the Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative (ELI).

Gary’s work challenges traditional ideas about entrepreneurship, showing that an entrepreneurial mindset isn't simply about starting a business—it’s about developing the mindset, behaviours, and skills that help people recognise opportunities, overcome challenges, and unlock their potential.

Through his work in entrepreneurial mindset education and professional development, Gary has helped make entrepreneurship more accessible and empowering for people from all backgrounds and circumstances.

Together, they explore:

✨ What an entrepreneurial mindset really means and why it matters
 ✨ How entrepreneurial thinking can unlock human potential
 ✨ Why entrepreneurship is about much more than starting a business
 ✨ The importance of curiosity, initiative, resilience, and recognising opportunities
 ✨ How entrepreneurial mindset education can transform individuals, organisations, and communities
 ✨ Why challenging traditional ideas about entrepreneurship can create greater possibilities for people and society

Gary shares powerful insights, practical wisdom, and a deeply human perspective that will inspire you to rethink what it means to be entrepreneurial and consider how an entrepreneurial mindset can shape the way you approach life, work, and opportunity.
