If you saw him walking down the street you’d never guess his story. Cam Calkoen is a world class, international sprinting champion. It also happens that he has cerebral palsy. After winning multiple international championships, Cam decided to hang up the running shoes and become an inspirational speaker.
In his own words, both of these were strange choices given that he “walks funny, and talks funny” … this is how you know he is good humoured too.
In this incredibly interesting episode with podcast host, Ed McKnight, Cam talks about:
– A three step process for how to get in the right mindset … and more importantly, how to keep it
– His story of becoming an international sprinting champion
– How he made the transition to an inspirational speaker
– How he built his own credibility as a speaker by jumping on a plane to America.
Now, I’m going to be honest, I don’t usually buy into the whole ‘inspirational speaker’ thing. But, after leaving the podcast studio having talked to Cam – I can say this: he is the real deal.

This is the exact story of Carmel Murphy, NZ’s, still introverted, Networking Queen. It is a transformational story. Carmel went from standing outside of a networking event, too afraid to walk in, to running her own networking consultancy and coaching business.

– How to prepare for a networking event so that you get the most out of it
– How to approach the person you want to talk to

The old maxim “Do as I say, not as I do” is not just widely used by parents talking to their kids, but also by customers giving feedback to companies they buy from. As customers we will say one thing, and do another.
Professional people-watcher (aka anthropologist), Corina Enache is using the power of observation to figure out what people actually do – not what they say they do.
She has sold coke to Romanians, skin care to Germans, and Cosmetics to Brazilians. She has travelled the world and seen it all. Now she works with some of New Zealand’s largest companies seeing what really makes them tick.
In this fascinating and eye-opening interview with podcast host, Ed McKnight, Corina talks about her background working in three very different countries, getting a Masters degree in anthropology – despite having no training, and why anthropology is perhaps the best skill to learn if you truly want to be successful in business.

Most Uni students dream of working at one of the big four accounting firms – PwC, Deloitte, EY and KPMG. Fraser McConnell is definitely not “most uni students”. Having joined Pricewaterhouse Coopers in the management consulting team – arguably one of the more sought-after divisions – he left after a year to see whether he could live in Wanaka all while saving New Zealand’s native birds. Over 25 million native NZ birds are killed every year by pests.
Through his social entries, Squawk Squad, Kiwis (the people not the birds) can crowdfund pest-traps – pitching in to save the birds we see every day on the back of our dollar bills. In this episode Fraser talks to podcast host, Ed McKnight about everything from life in PwC, right through to quitting and starting this social venture, and his other venture, Upstream Daily.

It’s a cliché to say that the world is changing, and changing at a rapid pace. But, after just 10 minutes with futurist and Mind Lab founder, Frances Valentine you get a sense of how fast the world is now spinning. Windows that act as solar panels, homes that can be built in just a few days, insects becoming standard parts of the Western diet.
These changes aren’t coming. They’re already here. In this episode with podcast host, Ed McKnight, Frances speaks about how the world is changing, and why NZ’s young professionals aren’t ready or prepared for what’s to come.
