In this episode of the Bee Formless™ Flow-Driven CEO Podcast, I had a grounded, pragmatic conversation with Nathan Dench, Co-founder of ProcurePro, about life, leadership, business, and modernising construction procurement with systems that actually work.

Nathan brings a refreshing mix of ruthless pragmatism and human-centred leadership. We talked openly about healthy conflict between co-founders, building under uncertainty, reducing burnout, and why clarity beats complexity when scaling real businesses in traditional industries like construction.

This one is for founders and leaders who want less noise, better tools, and teams that can actually flow.

Through the Bee Formless™ methodology, we explored:

LEARN (Letting go)
✨ Pivoting procurement thinking from AI hype to real construction solutions
✨ Understanding healthy vs unhealthy stress and conflict in co-founder dynamics

UNLEARN (Reimagine & reshape)
✨ Rethinking construction admin with ProcurePro to save hours per task
✨ Letting go of fragmented back-office processes in favour of automation that supports relationships

RELEARN (Test & implement)
✨ Using AI and systems to improve productivity without losing trust
✨ Building a culture of authenticity, transparency, and ruthless pragmatism

ACTIVE RECOVERY (Reflect & reset)
✨ Moving from burnout to life.work.flow with sustainable routines
✨ Growing a remote company while maintaining culture, rhythm, and celebration
