INSLATT – It’s Not So Lonely At The Top
Being at the top can be exhilarating… but also isolating. The INSLATT podcast is your antidote to lonely leadership. Hosted by Pete Rushmer – founder of Flagship Partners, TEDx Speaker, coach and high-performance advocate. This podcast brings together raw, real and inspiring conversations with leaders who’ve felt the pressure, faced the silence, and found strength in sharing the journey.
Whether you’re running a business, managing a team, or just striving to be better, INSLATT explores the highs, lows and honest truths of leading from the front. With practical insights, bold stories, and a whole lot of heart, you’ll feel part of a community that gets it.
Because at the top, you don’t have to be alone – not anymore.
About your host Pete Rushmer;
I’m Pete Rushmer – founder of Flagship Partners and now TEDx Speaker and Coach. I am someone who’s been in the thick of it: growing businesses, leading teams, and learning (sometimes the hard way) that success can feel pretty lonely at the top.
That’s why I created INSLATT – a podcast for business owners, leaders and high-performers who want to thrive without burning out. Each week, I dive into real, unfiltered conversations with inspiring guests and share lessons I’ve picked up from my own journey through corporate chaos, entrepreneurial graft, and the pursuit of something greater.
If you’re hungry for personal growth, bold leadership, and connection with people who just get it, then you’re in the right place.
Because the truth is; it’s not so lonely at the top… when we talk about it and share our experiences.

“Mr and Mrs”
How Well Does Pete Know Maggie? (Spoiler: Not Always)
They’ve built a life together, raised four kids, and run multiple businesses—but how much do Pete and Maggie really know about each other? Find out as they play the ultimate couples’ game.
From anniversary mishaps to driving disasters, parking tickets to who’s the real control freak, this episode is packed with quick-fire questions, unexpected answers, and plenty of laughs. Maggie admits to worrying about everything (and forgetting important dates), Pete reveals his people-pleasing tendencies, and both discover they’re far more competitive than they’d like to admit.
But it’s not all banter. This game also reveals who apologizes first after an argument, whose parenting style actually wins with the kids, and what they’d really do if they suddenly won the lottery. Spoiler: their answers might surprise you—and each other.

About Maggie
Maggie Rushmer is a business partner, mother of four, and the often-unheard voice behind Peterborough’s most driven entrepreneur. While Pete is busy running INSLATT, and Flagship Partners, Maggie is the one navigating the real-world impact of ambition on family life.
With a candid perspective and sharp sense of humour, Maggie brings essential balance to conversations about entrepreneurship. She’s not afraid to call out the tension between Pete’s relentless idea generation and the need for focus, or to highlight the loneliness that leadership creates—even within a close marriage. Her insights on stress management, work-life integration, and what actually works (versus what looks good on social media) come from lived experience, not theory.
A mother who’s proud of her children’s individual journeys—from academic achievement to resilience in the face of real challenges—Maggie also speaks to the early days of financial struggle, the rewards of prioritizing family happiness over material comfort, and the ongoing work of maintaining connection when life is relentlessly full.
On this podcast, Maggie represents the partners, spouses, and families behind every business success story. She’s the person who sees both the brilliance and the cost, who advocates for flexibility, and who’s learning to build her own social independence alongside supporting others.
🎧 Perfect for listeners interested in:
Entrepreneurship, service business growth, leadership, scaling trades businesses, wellbeing strategies, and building a high-performance team.
