Of all the people you see online, Claire Seeber is someone that is undoubtedly true to who she is, and my word is she one immense human!With a tremendous perspective, undeniable energy & a genuine class, Claire has published an incredible book 'Less Hustle, More Happy' that is geared towards helping people to navigate beyond what is 'normal', and grab hold of a life that's possible.We had such a synergy in our conversation, and we dug into several common challenges & misconceptions that make this a MUST-LISTEN!P.s. you NEED to follow Claire!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There are a LOT of people that are very quick to point out that Gen Alpha & the bottom end of the Millenials have got real problems when it comes to working hard to achieve success.So....I asked one of them! Ariana Djoric is a Melbourne-based influencer who appeared on reality TV last year, and you could argue that society would classify her superficially as a 'typical' Instagram-life human.But dig even a tiny bit under the surface, and what you find could not be more different. Constant & consistent pressure to earn, challenges in discovering a professional direction...but such an insane desire to want to work & create a proper family.Ariana will change your mind about what you assume of her generation, and make you realise that so many of these people have got a depth to them that is way beyond what they put out there on social media. A tremendous character with a mental amount of energy, positivity & love to give the world, & she makes me (and you hopefully) wonder how much value we're missing out on because of all these assumptions!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This is one of those episodes that made me grateful for what I do. Kendra Vant is a genuine, bona fide ROCKSTAR when it comes to AI...and when governments listen to her, it's probably a good idea that we do too! Kendra is the director/advisor at Europa Labs, and has been obsessed with the critical thinking around AI & the science behind it all. We start by chatting about the common fears around the AI-takeover, but soon enough Kendra's got me sat with my legs crossed just taking her wisdom in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This episode is a simulcast from my interview on the 'Trading Secrets' podcast with the absolutely wonderful Louise Bedford.In this conversation Louise asks me a number of things around how success is defined by us, but also for us by our environment, our circumstances & our ego.We also chat about what can be done if we find ourselves in a rough place while trying to keep everything happening in life.So grateful to be invited on, & I hope you guys enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Once in a while you just need to tip your cap to a great human, and in this episode Ewan Morton did not disappoint!The Founding Director of Morton Real Estate almost 30 years ago, the level of transparency with which Ewan operates makes it very easy to know where you stand!What a brilliant chat this was, and in amongst it all we delved into Ewan's view on how success has evolved, what prevents people from feeling successful, and how he's still 'not quite enough' in terms of where he's at which is incredible to think that he feels he can do more, despite how far he's gone up to now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I could listen to this guy tell stories all day. Peter Brewer is a chap with decades of experience in both business and life, and shares his experiences generously for the benefit of the communities that are lucky to have him involved.A Real Estate agent for years, Peter was always one who didn't quite fit the norm or stereotype, which was something that was realised by those around him from a young age. Never afraid to voice an opinion, the level of authenticity that he has maintained is something that few can claim.This conversation has us dipping in & out of his new book 'Running Out Of Saturdays' which is available to order now, and we dig into how Peter has perceived success over time & how it has changed from his younger days to today.A top human who sums himself up wonderfully on his website...'I'm just here to help' he says, & the world is better off for it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Money is often something that I personally wrestle with regularly. I'd go as far to say that my relationship with money is often my Achilles' heel, not because I blow it all away, but because of my negative, scarcity-mindset beliefs around it.The simple truth is that it really does make the world go around, it gives us choices and removes friction from our lives, and Evan Lucas is just the man to talk to about it.With an education in human psychology, and a passion for the economy, Evan is perfectly-placed to give us insights into things like the tussle between scarcity & abundance, generational ethos around money and how we can switch things around with a small shift in perspective.His best-selling book 'Mind Over Money' is available everywhere, but the way that he communicates around money concerns is so consumable that you absolutely need to follow this guy if you have any concerns about this necessary thing that we all wish we had more of (if we were honest with ourselves!).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I love it when amazing humans are so unassuming. Angus Ferguson is an AFR Young Executive Of The Year, started a firm that he sold for $25M, became a c-suite executive for Domain, and having successfully completed a strong capital raise round has now embarked on changing the face of buying property with his new platform 'FOUNDIT'.When you listen to him you can't help but feel that this is a lad who doesn't think about how good he is, he simply keeps moving at a level that suits him & takes others along for the ride, including his better half & 2 young kids!We talk about the fear of AI, taking on huge opportunities & what it means to grow as a human & leader when charging forth to a version of success that very few get to taste.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
To many, Chris Christofi has the perception of a guy made of Teflon, as in nothing sticks!But get to know the founder of Wealth Management firm Reventon, and you discover that this guy is far more than the tailored suit suggests.From humble beginnings, Chris has literally worked his arse off to get to a point whereby he now prides himself, not on his business success, but more so his philanthropic efforts because he has built himself into an operator who has the one thing we all strive for - choice.His efforts with fundraising has made him the #1 fundraiser for homeless charity Vinnies, & I was honoured to assist at his latest fundraiser as his auctioneer. DONATE TO HELP HOMELESSNESS HERE.I could have spoken to the guy for hours - his love of Stoic philosophy, his thirst (and retention) for knowledge...it's really obvious once you listen to him that he is very much the real deal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When Annabel Hay went out clubbing one night, the last thing on her mind was coming up with a groundbreaking idea.Fast forward a few years, and this insanely inspirational human (who can also make a cake it transpires) is now taking on the FMCG world with her amazing fashion product 'Clutch Glue'!Having broken a record on Australia's 'Shark Tank' for being the first pitch to secure investment from all 5 sharks, Annabel has always given herself the backing to 'belong' in any room, with anyone, and it shows in the energy she carries. Not arrogance, just an assurance that she has earned her place.What a phenomenal human. This is a chat about self-belief, focus, self-education, pressure, but above all this is about. person that simply gave herself a chance at winning in this game called life. And my word has she earned it!And in case you were wondering, here she is in Forbes ;)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When Abbie White first flew over to Australia from the UK, she thought she was heading to the set of Home & Away! But when the scale of the task she took on dawned on her, the challenge was well & truly on.Coming over to save the failing Asian sales division at IBM, Abbie brought new trains of thought that turned the ship around, and since then she has gone on to becoming one of the most trusted voices in Sales leadership, in tech & beyond.Now, as the founder of Sales Redefined, Abbie has revolutionised the 'Go-To-Market' team strategies, as well as coaching thousands of sales people in Australia & beyond.We tackle the topic of 'is AI taking our jobs?', Abbie recounts some of her bad decisions, & we also discuss how important having a coach was to her.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When the world is in times of trouble, we should all be glad to have Jason Colbey in our lives. Chief Excitement Officer at Tapi, freelance MC & general enthusiasm machine, Jason's energy alone has garnered him so many supporters from all over Australia.We talk about why he is so incredibly passionate about his charity work with Starlight Foundation (and how it takes a particular type of human to actually go out & do), what lights him up personally, as well as taking on a challenge that I posed to him about 'relationships' at a work level.A great chat with a better human. So much to take away from this one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Dan White is a 4th generation leader of the Ray White Group, which is the biggest Real Estate franchise group in Australia & New Zealand, and is seen as one of the most influential leaders in one of the biggest industries in the country. To spend time with him is to learn that there are those that pretend to have it all together, and then there are humans like Dan who have an air of unassuming confidence that is impossible not to admire & respect. We talk bout his passion to push the boundaries of what's possible, how he utilises the strengths of his team, and how he develops a culture that has become a breeding ground for constant success. The man is just a down to earth good bloke as well, which makes this an even better conversation than I could have hoped for!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Boston born & bred, sports-mad Nick Hutchison wasn't your typical 'book-reading type! But as is the case when we get older & money starts to take precedense, his appetite for learning how to make it took off!This appetite became an obsession, & led him to become the founder of bookthinkers.com. Our chat explored some things that neither of us expected - the role of literature in success, how it is being used in people's growth, but it's when we naturally began to talk about visualisation that this took a very interesting turn that we will explore down the track!Such an incredible conversation, this lad is a well of knowledge, and aside from that he's a top lad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
From a budding soccer player in the middle of regional NSW, Sam Gordon is comfortably one of the more driven & focussed young humans you'll meet. Director of Australian Property Scout and Host of the Top 1% Podcast, Scott has an immeasurable passion for breaking through the noise by hitting home truths at the traditional barriers to entry that society tends to put up around wealth. His energy is laden with great intention, there's no room for excess bullsh**, and the guy is my kinda speed so this was a brilliant conversation around why wealth has a stigma around it, and how he found his path towards achieving rather high levels of performance that he's constantly evolving.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ability to build a movement is reserved for the few...Daniel Flynn is one of those very special humans that did just that. A Forbes '30 under 30' member, winner of Outstanding Young person of the year, and a friend of Barak Obama (!!), Daniel is the Co-founder of Thankyou.. Alongside his better half Justine, they created a social enterprise that has a vision of addressing the flow of money between extreme poverty & extreme consumersim. This chat went down a seriously deep path, and tackled a couple of the biggest issues in society today like identity crisis, the role of controversy in media, and how optimism & positivity still has a shot in the world. Privileged is an understatement!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Jamin Heppell is a bit of a contradiction! Raised as a country boy in Victoria, Australia, he was school captain, played sports and loved a laugh. But he felt a calling from a young age, a purpose that was driven by wanting to inspire those around him to be the best version of themselves, and my word has he fulfilled his purpose! Creating movements like The Man Cave, Game Changers and most recently Mountains & Marathons, his desire to explore the world and forever grow is insatiable. We talk about the incredible concept that success is something that we come FROM, totally different from anything heard on this podcast, and we also have an important chat around modern leadership. I could talk to this guy for hours...what a legend!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As someone that I respect a tremendous amount, The Agency founder Matt Lahood has earned his place as one of the very best minds in the Australian business landscape.He normally gets asked about the economic or Real Estate landscape, but in this conversation we got to see Matt at his human-best when we talked about the battle lines in service-based industries when it comes to breeding confidence in people that we interact with.He tells us about the lessons his dad taught him that stood him in good stead for life, and we dig into what acts as a thorn in his side as a business owner & a person.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Armed with one of the best smiles in business, Nick Georges has a personality & an aura that makes you like him! Co-founder of Wingman, an offshoring organisation that is growing insanely fast, Nick knows that one of the main reasons for that success is the way in which the founders work together, understanding how each one compliments the other.Nick is also an incredible networker, so we dig into the capabilities & challenges that comes with being in a big scary room & not knowing how to go and chat to people!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
