What One Thing?
One business. One story. One lesson that actually matters.
What One Thing is a podcast for business owners who want to grow thoughtfully, not noisily.
Hosted by Hayley Baxter (Corbar Accounting) and Phil Davenport (Affirm IT Services), each episode explores the real journeys behind growing businesses — the decisions that worked, the ones that didn’t, and the one thing that made the biggest difference.
These aren’t polished success stories or surface-level tips. They’re honest conversations with founders, leaders, and operators about what growth really looks like — from confidence and cash flow to systems, people, mindset, and leadership.
Every episode is designed to leave you with one practical insight you can reflect on and apply in your own business.
No fluff. No hype. Just real conversations that help you move forward.
Brought to you by Corbar Accounting and Affirm IT Services.
