“I know that even in stressful periods, if you stop for a second to breathe, you’ll realise that it's never as bad or as urgent as you think it is at the time."
In this episode of The Inner Chief podcast, I speak to Ben Cohn, Co-Founder and CEO of TAXIBOX, on infusing fun and creativity into your brand, lessons on building a high performance culture, and coping with anxiety.

Ben co-founded TAXIBOX, Australia’s leading mobile storage company, in 2010.
He is also the co-founder of Calcumate, a proprietary online storage calculator initially developed for TAXIBOX that has since become the most in-demand storage calculator available to self-storage and moving providers worldwide.
In the last three years alone, TAXIBOX has successfully doubled the business and significantly grown its leadership team.
Ben was born in South Africa and moved to Israel with his family in the 1990s, before settling in Australia, where he completed a Bachelor of Commerce in Commercial Law and Finance from the University of Sydney.
In this episode we talk about:
✅ How TAXIBOX has purposefully built a brand personality around fun and creativity
✅ Weaving this brand into the culture of the organisation
✅ But also where some of those cultural efforts have gone too far, and
✅ His personal struggles with anxiety and how he manages it on a daily basis
