The humans behind the systems. Real conversations from Glasgow's business podcast about thinking in systems and building what matters.
Systems Architect & Host
Euan has spent the last decade building and breaking systems across startups and established businesses. From chaotic spreadsheets to elegant automation, he's seen what works and what spectacularly doesn't.
His background in operations consulting means he's allergic to theory without application. Every framework on the show has been battle-tested in real businesses.
When not podcasting, you'll find him cycling through Glasgow's west end or experimenting with yet another productivity tool.
Growth Systems & Host
Hector brings the growth perspective to The Systems Show. After scaling multiple ventures from side projects to sustainable businesses, he knows that growth without systems is just chaos with revenue.
His approach is ruthlessly practical: if a system doesn't help you grow or reclaim your time, it's not worth building. He's on a mission to eliminate busywork from business.
Glasgow born and raised, Hector brings the city's direct, no-nonsense attitude to every episode.
Born in Glasgow's tech scene—two friends who kept having the same conversation. Why do most businesses struggle with the basics? Not the sexy stuff like growth hacking or AI, but the foundational systems that actually make businesses work.
We'd seen it too many times: brilliant founders drowning in operational chaos. Talented teams recreating the wheel every week. Businesses scaling their problems instead of their solutions.
"From shipbuilding to system-building—Glasgow's always known how to make things work."
The Systems Show started as conversations over coffee. Then a voice note to a friend. Then a proper recording. Now it's a community of systems thinkers across the world, united by a simple belief: better systems mean better businesses, and better businesses mean better lives.
We're not here to sell you the next shiny methodology or overpriced course. We're here to share what actually works, learned the hard way, from people who've built and broken systems in real businesses.
Glasgow, Scotland
Glasgow isn't just where we record—it's part of who we are. A city built on shipyards and engineering, where people have always figured out how to make things work.
From the Clyde's industrial heritage to today's tech scene, Glasgow has a culture of practical innovation. No pretense, no jargon—just getting things done.
That directness shapes everything we do on The Systems Show. We're not here to impress you with complexity. We're here to help you build something that works.
"What Glasgow builds, the world uses." — and that includes business systems.
Every framework is implementable. If you can't use it tomorrow, we won't teach it today.
Systems serve humans, not vice versa. The best system is one your team actually uses.
Grounded, direct, no-nonsense. We call it like we see it and skip the corporate speak.
Always iterating, always learning. The best system today is the starting point for tomorrow.
