The 3D's of success in leadership - Cherie Mylordis, Founder - Next Genify

Sun, 31 May 2026 17:00:00 +1000

The fortune I find myself to have someone of Cherie's calibre & intellect join me...well it makes me happy!

Cherie Mylordis is a leadership coach & founder of the Nextgenify academy, and my word had some pearls of wisdom for us around how leaders can blend the varying versions of success that team members, family, friends, & those that depend on us to drive the ship that they are sailing on.

We went in a few differnet directions (as usual), but what I love about Cherie was that she clearly had an incredible amount of awareness, especially around how different age groups are wired when it comes to success.

And FYI - pay attention to the part when she digs into her '3D's' of leadership, THEY ARE GOLD!

Mon, 11 May 2026 06:09:40 +1000

Have you ever been in conversations that had your mind firing all over the place?!

This chat went in a couple of directions that NONE of us expected! Dara Simkin (Culture Hero) and Tane Hunter (Future Crunch) are two dynamic individuals, and this was a fun ride!

Co-authors of the incredible book 'Full Stack Human', Dara & Tane shone with their level of intellect, an amazing amount of passion & their natural will to want more for their fellow humans.

We dove into various parts of the book, as well as why fun could well be the key ingredient for success.

Who Owns The Truth When It Comes To Success? - Dominic Thurbon, Co-founder - Alchemy Labs

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 10:53:59 +1000

To Be Honest'...if there was a list of people I'd want as a 2-time guest on the show, then Dominic Thurbon would be right at the very top of the list!

This chat really goes down the rabbit hole in the best way possible, and is instigated by Dom's latest book.

TO BE HONEST takes a deep dive into what constitues 'the truth', which is a topic that is affecting so much that is going on in the world today.

If you are one of many who are questioning where the world is heading right now, or if you are simply not sure what the truth is around success, then you NEED to listen to this guy, you NEED to buy his book & you NEED to start bringing some critical thinking into your life ASAP.

Take a listen, take in what you can, & see if it has you checking out your landscape slightly differently.

Turning Limitations Into Potential - Ruby Bishop, International Tennis Player

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 14:48:09 +1000

When a tennis player in that's in the TOP 30 IN THE WORLD (at just 22 years of age) says that she's happy to come onto the podcast...you jump at it! Ruby Bishop is one extraordinary human, representing Great Britain as a wheelchair tennis player, reaching #3 in the junior world rankings and now taking on the entire world in the seniors. But the hurdles & cards that Ruby was dealt with at birth has galvanised this woman to become such a beacon of hope for so many people. We talk about her story, but also why she has 'accidentally' become a real voice for those who are marginalised by the perceived limitations that the world sees. The big thing for me? She is so damn calm about it all!!!!

Earning Your Place & Growing In The Process - Aaron Westney, FMG Pro. Body Builder

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 16:06:51 +1000

Sometimes the level of growth you get to witness can be incredible. But with Aaron Westney, it isn't just with the obvious Popeye muscles that we've seen him grow!

The soon-to-be-father is a recentl;y-annointed FMG professional body builder, winning his tour card by taking out the amateur title in 2025. But outside of that, Aaron has built his sales business & exceeded many expectations in doing so, as well as building a home life by design with his amazing partner.

When you dig into the story of his last decade, what you find is not the stereotypical 'alpha' body builder, but a human that is so calm in who he is, and centred around where he belongs in the puzzle of life.

Founding of the Strong Man Protocol is the latest in a line of actions that are of a man who wants to help people to grow as a human in the right way, and when you listen to Aaron talk about his purpose you can't help but feel that his 'flex' in life goes way beyond his biceps & pecs!

From Olympic Gold To Finding You - Amy Truesdale MBE, Paralympic Taekwondo Champion

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 14:16:46 +1000

MY FIRST OLYMPIAN! Geek mode engaged, or so I thought until I met the human behind the medal. Amy Truesdale is a multi-medal Taekwondo champion, and in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris reached the pinnacle of her sport by winning gold for Great Britain. At 31, she felt that she finally had the world at her feet having pushed through life-long adversity, but the view she saw at the top wasn't what she was expecting. This conversation goes deep, and has us both thinking about key questions we all face such as 'why are we here?', 'what's next?' and 'Was the reward worth the sacrifice?'. We also chat about the mindset that she forged in her childhood & maximised in pursuit of her ultimate goal. This did NOT go the way I had planned, but I'm so glad it went the way it did.

Taking Thinking And Observing To Another Level - Dominic Thurbon, Founder - Alchemy Labs

Put simply, Dominic Thurbon is a chap who thinks and observes the world in a wonderfully brilliant way.. Dom works to bring high-level intellect to help solve real world problems, particularly around behavioural change;

This chat talks about Good vs Evil in high performance, how faith can alter people's perception of it, the necessary art of conversation and how we can talk more productively in work. We take macro-issues in society & relate it to the differences between behaviours and who we are at our core.

I feel clever just by talking to this guy. Legend.

When You Follow Your Passion Around The World - Sam Benton, Director (Sales & Training), MAD

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 15:57:49 +1000

You may not have heard the name 'Sam Benton' much before now, but some of the biggest companies in the WORLD hang off his every word when it comes to sales & marketing!

Raised in Sydney, he now resides in London & occasionally the USA as and when another huge brand asks him to go fix their sales challenges. How? Well Sam is one of the best examples I've found when it comes to following what your gut instinct is telling you to do, giving him all the drive in the world to consume knowledge through both obsession and observation.

Now partnering with the incredible Rory Sutherland (VP of Ogilvy), Sam has offered this elite level of awareness to the world via the MAD//Masters online programme, but when you chat to him one thing becomes immensly obvious....

His brilliant mind observes things in the most uncomplicated way, and as a result he articulates his observations in a way that ANYONE could understand.

Defining The Line Between Pressure & Stress - Michael Licenblat, 'Bounce Back Fast'

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 17:30:00 +1000

Michael Licenblat is someone that makes you feel calm. Educated in both his mind & his fists, Michael understands what pressure is all about, and can see clearly that the world is under a tremendous amount of it.

Founder of 'Bounce Back Fast', a programme designed to help organisations in tough markets, it is Michael's purpose to 'pressure proof' those around him.

We really dug into the big differences between pressure and stress, what constitutes 'positive' pressure, and how we can start to build a framework that allows us to make pressure become a fuel for success, as opposed to a barrier to it!

Cracking The Code To Success & Identity - Danielle Dobson, Code Conversations

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 14:06:36 +1000

When Danielle Dobson came onto the show, it was quite obvious that she is someone who sees the world through a slightly different lens.

Founder & creator of Code Conversations, and author of the famed 'Breaking The Gender Code', Danielle is like Neo from The Matrix in the way that she views life as a series of codes that require decyphering.

We had a tremendous chat about how leaders need to understand each individual's code, as well as how Danielle sees the code of society changing as we navigate through this rapidly changing world.

Top human, measured in her vernacular, and well-worth a listen if you can't quite seem to make sense of someone or something in your life.

Lessons From An 11-Year Old - Eliza Reid, aka Andy's Daughter

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 20:00:00 +1000

So I took a break from recording, but when it came to this year's Christmas episode...there was only one choice.

Eliza is an 11-year old who enjoys dancing, Mecca, and generally enjoying life...and I'm proud to say that she is my daughter. You may have seen her pop up on my Instagram reels feed, taking you on property tours and pointing out key features like she had been in the Real Estate industry for years.

As a prelude to an exciting project that we're cooking in 2026, I sat in awe as I listened to the answers that came from her mouth in this conversation. We talked about what scares Eliza about change, how far removed from reality we are, and of course what an 11-year old's version of success is.

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this chat, & how amazed I was at some of the answers, because I'm not sure how much she looks to her dad for wisdom!!

External Compliance...Internal Rage - Claire Seeber, Leadership & Career Consultant

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 14:41:52 +1000

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!

The Misconceptions About The 'Influencer' Generation - Ariana Djoric, Influencer

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 14:21:02 +1000

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!

The Way We SHOULD Be Thinking About AI & Gen AI - Kendra Vant, Director - Europa Labs

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 19:18:08 +1000

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.

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.

Don't Get Angry, It's A Waste Of Time! - Ewan Morton, Morton Real Estate

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 15:17:47 +1000

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.

The Stories We Tell Shape Who We Are - Peter Brewer, Author, Speaker, Mentor

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 15:37:37 +1000

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.

How Is Money Perceived When It Comes To Success? - Evan Lucas, Economic Futurist, Best-selling Author

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 15:53:29 +1000

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!).

False Fears & Taking On The Big Stuff - Angus Ferguson, Co-founder - FOUNDIT

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 15:55:53 +1000

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.

Staying True To Your Roots, Excelling With Strong Beliefs - Chris Christofi, Founder - Reventon

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 04:40:32 +1000

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.

From Flashing In A Club To Being Named in Forbes 30 Under 30 - Annabel Hay, Founder - Clutch Glue

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 04:54:04 +1000

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 ;)

AI Taking Over, Making Bad Choices & The Importance Of Coaching - Abbie White, Founder, Sales Redefined

Mon, 26 May 2025 07:09:22 +1000

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.

Relationships...are they what we should be focussed on? - Jason Colbey, Chief Excitement Officer, Tapi

Mon, 19 May 2025 08:10:55 +1000

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.

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!

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.

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.

Having built & sold businesses, and seeing his most recent effort with Bond Property Lawyers take on the property space by storm, it's safe to say that Bill knows business! But interestingly his desire to help build start ups comes from a space within him that makes all of this very natural.

Nothing's forced with Bill, and what you'll hear is that his understanding of his own DNA makes his skillset applicable to any industry which is fascinating to hear, and something that all of us can benefit from hearing if we're feeling stuck.

Anna Grosman is a fascinating character that you do not see coming. Hitting plenty of headlines recently for her business 'Her Confidant', which is a national male escort agency service, Anna is not afraid to speak her mind when it comes to female empowerment and sexual health.

But when you find out why she's doing it, then irrespective of whether you agree or don't agree with her business model you have to respect & admire her.

The level of pushback she's had over the years has not deterred Anna in her pursuit of giving women their lives back, making them feel loved & seen in the world and having a reason for being. The passion she shows up with in this chat is such a driving force for success, so powerful, and this is one very fascinating conversation!

The level of power that this lad conveys his passion with is quite visceral. Godwin Hili is a fashion designer with a purpose way greater than just clothes (although they have been featured on red carpets all over the world).

He uses fashion design to bring out the very best in those who go to him, getting to know the subject & aligning energies so that the pieces he designs goes on a journey with his customer. I felt the power that is undeniable in him, & you will too.

Giving Means Nothing If We Don't Learn To Receive - Scott Bateman, Founder - Kolmeo

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 22:11:26 +1000

This is one of my favourite episodes so far, & it needs bringing back to your attention because of a topic of conversation that keeps arising.

I've had a lot of conversations around the art or skill of receiving. Whether it's compliments, critisicm, praise, adoration, achievement...we all suck at it! And it is subtly become an enormous issue in society.

As understated as he is brilliant, Scott Bateman is a human that has a tremendous level of depth, and yet makes you feel like he's been your mate for years. The founder of Kolmeo, a revolutionary platform that is removing friction from the rental space for both professionals and consumers, Scott is a guy who took ownership of himself & has maximised every opportunity he's worked hard to get.

We challenge a couple of common notions around knowledge, but then we come across this whole issue around receiving, and Scott brings us some incredible insight into something that receives little attention, but needs massive focus.

Understanding YOU Through Adversity - Dana Walton, State Manager - Realty Assist

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 04:05:45 +1000

I genuinely didn't see this conversation going the way it did...but man am I glad we went there!

Dana Walton is a well-travelled salesperson, spreading her time across mutliple sectors but settled at Realty Assist. Through her various roles, she has become an incredible networker and I thought we were going to dig into that...however after my first real question the whole chat changed.

If there's one thing that Dana is really renowned for, it's how she always shows up with amazing energy and fabulous positivity. She's phenomenally consistent with it, & when I asked her why that was, Dana was gracious enough to open up on some personal tragedies that formed who she is today.

Her superpower arrived in the worst of ways, and we're all better off for having her share her stories.

The Lost Art Of Self-Belief - Peter Schravemade, Managing Director - REACH ASEA

Sun, 12 Jan 2025 17:00:00 +1000

How many of you feel that you could make it, that you have the skills to make it, and yet...you don't make it?

Peter Schravemade is, quite simply, one of the sharpest, & solid humans I've had the fortune to chat to. Despite being the MD of REACH, which is a Venture Capital fund targeting technology in Real Estate, he makes it very clear that it is the HUMAN trait of 'self-belief' that separates the projects that make it from the ones that don't.

If you have issues with believing in yourself, then you simply HAVE to listen to this. This chat explores the topic of self-belief in a number of different directions, & I've re-listened to it myself more than once because of how much I got from it.

Discovering Your Worth, And Making The World See It! - Mel Thomas, Founder - KYUP! Project

Sun, 05 Jan 2025 17:00:00 +1000

Mel Thomas could be defined by tragedy, and would be forgiven for that given the shit she's gone through. But the inspiration that she has become, and the influence that she has generated is grounded in a self-worth that is woven into her DNA.

Founder of the KYUP! Project, Mel has a mission to bring attention, awareness & action towards domestic violence, which incredibly still has a massive lack of focus from official channels & institutions. Her focus on building worth in those who have suffered & struggled with it lead us to have an amazing conversation & contemplation about the whole topic around worth/self-worth, which has had me seriously reflecting personally around the whole concept of worth. Honestly, it has sparked something in me, so marinade on this chat.

Warning - DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! As elegant as Mel is, she is also a 2-time Australian Champion Black Belt!

Creating Your World In Your Way - Steve Palise, Palise Property

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 17:57:47 +1000

When my publisher recommended that I chat to Steve Palise, I wasn't sure what to expect because here was a guy that looked very corporate, very driven, founder of Palise Property and the author of 2 published books around residential & commercial investing...basically mega-focussed!

What I connected to was all of the above, but encased in a guy who has his life priorities absolutely nailed! Steve has a thriving business, but never works past 4pm, spends months travelling with his young family, and makes his income work for him as opposed to the other way around. Philisophically-minded, his altruistic viewpoint on life in quite brilliant, and this conversation has us talking about why we should question standard societal frameworks, and why doing that can open doors to a life that we never thought would be possible.

Author of '6 Figures While You Sleep' and '6 Figures During School Hours', Kate Toon is an absolute diamond personality, with a knack for giving little to no care as to what people say about her.

We also get a little philosophical and make the concept of reality that little bit more tangible! Incredible, incredible mind, and one that we all need to pay more attention to.

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 03:22:57 +1000

Chatting to Avi Khan immediately relaxes you - he's calm, measured, and very easy to connect with. But behind this chilled out demeanour lies a tremendously sharp mind, a hunger to keep pushing boundaries, and a mindset that is constantly evolving and growing. What this chat will help you to see is that by keeping things straightforward in your head, the possibilities are endless as long as you put in the effort to see them through.

I'm really glad I got to connect with Avi and learn about the various tentacles of his AKG operation and how they came to be. It's sounds hectic, but when you talk to Avi you kinda feel like anything could actually be within reach, such is his strong & positive energy.

Paul opens up about his own very vulnerable moments, including how he talked about his required 'hippo time', as well as how the context of one's life needs to be acknowledged, and appreciating the positives within our environment when it comes to the concept of success.

We also talk about how people can use 'motivational' talks & knowledge to a much better extent, and how we can all take the information heard in motivational speeches and interpret it in a 'No bulls**t' way that actually helps us!

What a human. I could listen to him for hours.

The Guy That Ran From Brisbane To Sydney! - Lachy Cameron

If you were to have met Lachy Cameron a couple of years ago, you would find the life & soul of a party, a great laugh, a larrakin tradie who could be a VB beer pin-up. But he was also an addict...and someone who was contemplating his own existence. Lachy had a very simple decision - continue on his path & cease to exist, or make a change & live, and his decision has paved the way for a new version of Lachy that has to be spoken to to be believed.

An immense aura, this conversation demonstrates that anyone can become a much higher version of themselves, and after this conversation I can say openly that 'Lachy 2.0' is a very impressive, personable and eloquent human, who took it upon himself to raise money for a mental health charity called 'Heart On My Sleeve' by running a lazy 925km from Brisbane to Sydney!

I told him that there are planes that can make that trip for him, but when you listen to the lad you're almost inspired to get jogging yourself. A top guy with so much to offer the world, and I bet you'll finish this chat feeling rather inspired.

High Performance Humans with Sam Gordon

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 17:00:00 +1000

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, which has a mission to retire 500 people by 2030 by creating wealth through property, Sam 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 bulls**t, 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.

It's conversations like this one that restores my faith in the inherent beauty of human beings. Francesca Dean calls herself 'a badass warrior with Cerebral Palsy', and my word is she a badass warrior!! I had the joy of connecting with Francesca via the incredible Javeno McLean.

Francesca is one of his best supporters, but to me she is a stand-out example of a high-performance human all by herself, and when you listen to the way in which she takes on life, I guarantee that you will reflect on how you can improve your approach.

So privileged to have her on my show!
