What does it really take to build meaningful business connections?
In this episode, I sit down with Steve Testar — Co-Founder and CEO of Showcase SA — whose story is one of resilience, entrepreneurship, and community leadership. From arriving in Australia with just a backpack, to leading major property developments, to founding Showcase SA in 2019, Steve has built a platform that connects and supports South Australian businesses across industries.
We dive into:
The challenges of moving from corporate security into entrepreneurship
Why running a business can feel lonely — and how community changes that
How Showcase SA removes barriers and creates opportunities for collaboration
The role of vulnerability, resilience, and genuine relationships in business success
Steve’s passion is clear: people work with people. And when we focus on connection and contribution, businesses — and communities — thrive.
Tune in for an honest, inspiring conversation about leadership, community, and the power of connection.
