🎙️ Meet Tristan White — Founder, Culture Builder & One of Australia’s Most Trusted Voices in People-First Leadership

Tristan White is the Founder & CEO of The Physio Co, an organization that spent 11 consecutive years ranked among Australia’s 50 Best Places to Work—a rare achievement built on an unshakeable commitment to people, culture, and purpose. 

What started in 2004 as one physiotherapist with a vision to transform senior healthcare has grown into a celebrated service delivering 300,000+ physiotherapy consultations a year to help Australian seniors stay mobile, safe, and happy.

A qualified physiotherapist with an MBA and advanced leadership credentials from MIT’s Entrepreneurial Masters Program, Tristan has become one of Australia’s leading thinkers on workplace culture. He shares his frameworks and philosophies widely through The Culture Is Everything Blog (ranked among Australia’s 25 Best Business Blogs), his book Culture Is Everything, and his leadership podcast Think Big, Act Small.

Today, Tristan leads The Culture Collective, an online community that helps leaders build connected, confident, high-performing teams—drawing from two decades of building and scaling one of the most values-driven healthcare organizations in the country.

From reimagining elder care to redefining what a great workplace feels like, Tristan’s work sits at the intersection of purpose, leadership, and real-world operational excellence. 

He lives in coastal Victoria with his wife KW and their four kids—and remains deeply passionate about helping leaders grow, evolve, and build workplaces people are proud to belong to.

This episode explores leadership, culture, senior care, and the power of doing the small things well—every single day.
