Broken Businesses Reborn — Here's How | Stephen Dixon

Welcome to Episode 1 of Right Brain Insights, where we sit down with leaders who operate in high-stakes environments — and still manage to bring clarity, compassion, and transformation to the table.

In this powerful conversation, host David talks with Stephen Dixon, co-owner of HM Advisory (formally Hamilton Murphy), one of Australia's leading insolvency and restructuring firms.

With over 30 years of experience guiding business owners through financial crisis, Stephen shares:

• How he turned a $800K fraud discovery into his career path.

• Why most businesses fail — and how many can be saved.

• The emotional toll of insolvency (and how to stay grounded)

• Lessons from rebuilding Indigenous enterprises, bridge builders, and bakeries

• Why empathy, transparency, and education are the keys to long-term success.

Whether you're a founder facing financial stress, or just curious about what really happens behind the scenes when companies collapse and come back stronger - this episode is for you.
