The Provider NDIS Mentor Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with James to have a raw, wide-ranging conversation about fatherhood, neurodiversity, and what it really looks like to lead, parent, and build businesses when your brain doesn’t switch off.We unpack the unspoken fears many men carry into parenthood, especially neurodivergent men, from anxiety spirals and emotional overload to the pressure of “having to get it right” once a child arrives. We explore why so much of this fear isn’t unique to neurodiversity at all, but simply part of becoming a dad, and why men rarely talk about it.The conversation moves into leadership and entrepreneurship, covering practical strategies for running teams without burning out, empowering staff instead of micromanaging, and why buying back your time isn’t about working less, but working differently. We dive into using VAs, decision fatigue, output-based leadership, and how neurodivergent founders can design systems that actually work for their brains.We also explore public speaking, performance anxiety, and the internal dialogue many neurodivergent people live with, including powerful insights around managing intrusive thoughts, emotional spirals, and learning to separate “you” from your brain.This episode is honest, reflective, and deeply practical.If you’re a parent, a founder, a leader, or someone navigating neurodiversity in adulthood, this conversation will resonate.

How do you get your first five NDIS clients?In this episode of The Breakdown, Let me walk you through the real process behind winning your first clients, and why confidence, clarity, and consistency matter more than ticking boxes.We explore how to niche with purpose, identify real problems worth solving, build trust through your brand and digital presence, and grow your business through genuine community connections.

In this episode, I sit down with Aaron Cotton, founder of Marco Polo, alongside my co-host Michael Clark, to unpack one of the biggest shifts happening in the SIL space, giving participants real choice and control over who they live with, where they live, and who supports them.Fresh from the SIL Summit hosted by Tania Gomez, Aaron shares his takeaways from the event and how it’s inspiring a new standard of transparency and collaboration across the industry.He also walks us through his journey from pharmacist to SIL provider to tech founder, and how that background shaped his approach to participant matching and provider accountability.We dive into how Marco Polo works, how it’s helping providers reduce vacancies, and why relationships and compatibility matter more than the property itself.We also open up about neurodiversity, ego, and entrepreneurship, a raw and personal chat about learning to lead with authenticity, self-awareness, and courage.If you’ve ever asked how to build trust, reduce vacancies, or design housing that truly feels like home, this episode is for you.

From personalised exercise programs and accessible sport to dietitian-created recipes and mental health tools, Able is leading a new wave of preventative care in Australia.We talk about what digital wellness really means, how providers can integrate prevention into everyday supports, and why accessibility and innovation matter more than ever.If you’re passionate about better outcomes for participants, building proactive supports, or simply want to see where the future of wellness is heading in the NDIS, this one’s for you.

In this insightful episode, I sit down with Valentina Coin, the co-author of Future Proofing Your NDIS Business (led by Tania Gomez) and the brains behind Viya Technology.Valentina shares how she helps NDIS providers build strong, scalable systems that combine people, processes, and technology. From CRMs to dashboards, and onboarding to AI, this chat is packed with practical strategies and mindset shifts every provider needs.We talk about why most tech fails, how to lead change without burning out your team, and why curiosity, not control, is the key to sustainable growth.If you're an NDIS provider trying to simplify, scale, or just get systems that actually work... this one's for you.

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Celestine from Inner Knowing Respite, a service built around art, craft, and authentic peer support. Celestine shares how she’s created a warm, participant-first space for women living with psychosocial disability.Blending creativity, community, and lived experience to help women open up, connect, and live their best lives. From grassroots events to cold calling, building trust to staying true to her “why”, this conversation is filled with honest lessons and heart
