This week I interviewed Designer, Daniel Borg from psyborg®. A little about Daniel psyborg® had its beginning in 2002, when Daniel was plugging away as an engineer. He wasn’t having enough fun and the internet was just starting to take off, so Daniel got into Graphic Design as a way to bring more creativity into his work. In the early days, psyborg® was the work that he did when he finished his real job, working for web design and advertising agencies, art directing and designing for National brands. The turning point came in 2006 when he won a National Design Award for the agency he was working for. So he let psyborg® off the leash and has since completed over 1600 projects for a diverse range of international, national and local clients. At psyborg® Daniel is passionate about using the latest tools to build businesses brand's. Daniel combines creativity, engineering and design thinking in an efficient and engaged client process. It’s a cool blend of engineering know-how and creative design. Daniel refers to

Episode 14- Kate Hendry - Young, Dynamic and Chasing a Dream This week's guest is a young woman really chasing a dream. I have been coaching Kate Hendry and couldn't wait to share her story with you. This is a different perspective to those people that are already established in their journey. Kate's journey has just begun. BIO: With her swift rise in the industry over the past twelve months, Kate Foxx has been hard at work earning her reputation as an energetic and driven talent – showing no signs of slowly down. Making the transition to touring artist and holding crowds in some of Australia’s best-known venues has come naturally: For this Foxx there is no better feeling than engaging the energy of the lively crowds she keeps; gaining their attention and holding it. Through an authentic love of singing dating back as far as her first steps, there’s no surprise that vocal tracks are a key feature of each set. With strong elements of electro house, a love of feel-good vibes, plus a passion for providing a soli

I have just returned from leading three adventures - Aussie 10 Peaks and then back to back Kokoda Track adventures. One of these was for the charity mates4mates which looks after wounded veterans and their families.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 13 - Michael McNab - Culture, Leadership and Growing a Team This week's guest is Michael McNab from McNab Constructions. Michael fell into a business more than made an intended move into business. After a few years he realised that if he was going to do it then he would have to get focused and do it seriously. He built the business from scratch to having over 200 employees and one of Queensland's best known construction businesses. Michael gives some great tips on his beliefs for growing a team and the expectation he has for his team to fit into the culture of the business. For anyone starting out or with a smaller team there are some great insights into what it takes from someone with been there and done that experience. BIO: Michael McNab is the Managing Director and founder of McNab, one of the leading privately owned construction companies in Queensland. www.mcnab.net.au  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 12 - Steve Wakelam- Surviving and Thriving is an Attitude This week I sat down with Steve Wakelam. A motivated personal Trainer, Health and Fitness Advocate and Cancer Survivor. Steve moved to a new town a few years ago and commenced a business in a town of people that didn't know him. No real connections and yet he built a following very quickly through his energy and passion to inspire others to live healthy and happy lives. One day, after not feeling 100%, he reported to a doctor and then to hospital for tests and found that he was riddled with cancer. Overnight he lost everything that was important to him; his health, his business and started a fight for survival. This is not a survivor story though. This is a story of a positive attitude, a story of thriving in the face of adversity. Take a listen and see just how Steve defied doctors orders and rebuilt his body and his health after dropping 20kg's through chemo and radiation therapy. This is an amazing story and one well worth your time. &n

Have you ever felt like you really want to change something in your life only to not take action? A year later you find yourself in the same position and still wishing you could change something. Why does this happen? What's stopping you from changing?

Episode 11 - Jacob McLuskie - Fit and Focused to Improve Lives This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Jacob McLuskie. Jacob is a highly motivated, highly focused personal trainer that realised the best way to have a positive effect on the masses was to build an Army of highly trained Personal Trainers. A team with a common vision, purpose and passion. If you want to find regular sources of motivation, inspiration and tough love knowledge bombs then look him up on facebook and follow. If you're a Personal Trainer looking to learn the tips of the trade to have a successful six figure business then you simply MUST get in touch with Jacob, because that's what he does. Remember you don't have to make all the mistakes yourself, it's totally cool to learn from others mistakes and take a short cut to success. You still have to work hard, but with a little more knowledge it means you get to work smarter. BIO: Jacob Mcluskie is the founder and CEO of Positive Existence Personal Training helping over 2,000 people

Episode 09 - Phil DiBella - King of Coffee & Culture This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Phil DiBella - the mastermind behind the DiBella Coffee brand. Phil is an amazing building of culture in the workplace and within teams. He sits on numerous boards, helps out many charities and has sponsored me daughter Alyssa Azar for years so we have a lot of connection points. On top of that he has passion for the sport of boxing like myself. I chose Phil because he is an amazing communicator and really gets his points across in a way that you can helped but be inspired. Bio: He’s one of BRW’s most celebrated entrepreneurs, a philanthropist and one of Australia’s most passionate businessmen. His love affair with coffee and natural people skills have revolutionised the coffee industry.

Steve Keil has a relaxed and yet strong leadership style and has a great skill in follow a vision - and what a big vision it is, as he leads the biggest franchise/group in his field in Australia and New Zealand - The Laser Plumbing and Electrical Group. Bio: Steve Keil has spent his career in trade related businesses. His first decade in the workforce was as an electrical contractor before he moved into the corporate world and worked his way up to senior executive roles with one of the leading electrical wholesaling networks.

This week we ask are you committed or just interested in your goals? There's a big difference and I will use the analogy of Herman Cortes three words that changed the course of history in 1519 - Burn the Boats  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 07 - Damien Thomlinson - from Afghanistan to Kokoda and amazing experiences in between. This week I interview another soldier, that's two weeks straight. Damien Thomlinson really is one out of the box. A Special Forces soldier that lost both of his legs in an IED blast in Afghanistan but didn't let that hold him back. He went on to compete on the World stage in snow boarding, crossed the Kokoda Track in PNG (yes I was there and witnessed this amazing feat) and has even acted in a film directed by Mel Gibson. It's very easy to give up in life when things don't go to plan. We've all had those days and wanted to quit, well i promise after you listen to this podcast with Damien, you will never have that thought again. The mind is stronger than the body will ever be. Bio: The story of Damien Thomlinson, an Australian veteran of the war in Afghanistan, is one that continues to evolve and inspire people around the world. Inspired by the military history of his Grandfather, Damien joined the Australian Defenc
