heads up beautiful people - there's wisdom on its way.

Introducing Perth based business coach and mentor, Akram Sabbagh - as he shares his experience and insights on the value of connection, whether that's connecting the left hand to the right hand...metaphorically speaking or connecting an idea to the right person in the name of business and beyond. We get a glimpse of early life experience surrounded by diplomats through to early professional life and the events that sparked his passion for people, business and difference today.

***WARNING - This episode contains shared experiences of intense personal trauma that maybe distressing to some listeners***

There's a notion that simply states - show me the child, I'll show the adult...meaning the traits evident in the child will in all likelihood manifest in their adult life. Today's guest is a beautiful example of this. Her story starts as a 5 year old girl serving cups of tea for her nannies...and now as a mother of 5, how her servant heart continues to serve.

In this episode we meet Liza Pavlakos - speaker, author, coach, humanitarian and so much more than any of these labels, as you'll hear. While her journey may have started instinctively serving tea to her nannies...her life story goes on many twists and turns...traumas and triumphs. Liza doesn't hold back as she shares some of the most intense and life threatening experiences from her childhood, teen years and as she made her humanitarian way into some of the most troubled regions of our world...in the name of service and difference.

Listen in for Liza's transforming reframe on PTSD and the message behind 'overcome to become'.

There's a leadership philosophy that simply states, we all need something to believe in, someone to believe in and someone to believe in us.

Introducing Donny Walford, founder of Behind Closed Doors, Managing Director of Bottomline, serves on multiple boards and is a champion of women in business.  As a woman in business, Donny provides the something for women and men to believe in, she is someone to believe in and she absolutely believes in you to your fullest sense of possibility.

When starting anything new, be that a career, business venture or interest of note...we're often told to find our lane, our niche...that piece that makes us special. Introducing Matthew Remphrey from Parallax Design is a brilliant example of the power of recognising who you serve and how to serve them brilliantly...and in particular the wine industry. Thankfully its not all work and no play, Matthew has nailed his version of balance and shares his tips on what keeps fun in flow.

Introducing Nathan Gold, Demo Coach and founder of CARE24.Global

CARE24.Global: created to inspire, educate, and activate the next generation and give them the confidence to meet the future with optimism.

On a day where we ask R U OK? Sharing Nathan's story of optimism, hope and vision for the future seems almost divinely scheduled - perfect timing as always. 

As with all overnight success stories, there's a back story that spans a decade or more. In this episode, we'll hear Nathan's path to purpose. How saying yes to one workshop presentation...lead to so many more and ultimately connected him to the lifecycle of entrepreneurship to corporate and beyond.

Nathan shares his formula for delivering purposeful and powerful presentations, as well as the secret sauce to moving beyond imposter syndrome.

Perhaps most importantly, we get to hear how his own life's work of 'paying it forward' culminates in this weekend's online CARE24.Global event. With so many of us doing life on line at the moment, Nathan has definitely created 24 hours of extra-ordinary experiences to view, to listen to and grow with...that we may all greet the future with optimism.

Today's guest embodies  Ambassadors on every level, born and bred into the wine district of McLaren Flat, south of Adelaide,  its hardly so very surprising... that all things wine stamped its life fuelling gift on Gill Gordon-Smith's heart...and anyone who has the pleasure of meeting and spending any time at all with Gill - know instantly she grabs opportunities with both hands and breathes the life of possibility into everything she touches...and the rewards are extraordinary.

In this episode Gill shares a snippet of her story...today we talk about Qantas and the irony of 'hosting' the first 747 flight to Manchester to having this conversation on the day 747s were retired from the fleet...we talk about life beyond Qantas...the apparent Fall from Grace and the opportunity this has become and continues to be...we talk about her achievement and recognition globally ...we're talking with wine royalty beautiful people.

Do you ever reflect on the things that made you happy when you were a child? or ponder how that has or could play out in your adult life?

In this episode we meet Jennifer McNamara, who as a child always found joy in art...be that painting, drawing or other forms of creative expression. This thread was the common link as she ventured into adult life and carried her across the globe, landing her professional artistic opportunities in Japan, London and Sydney. What a wonderful life, full of artistic expression and creative opportunity...what could possibly go wrong...or right?

Listen as Jennifer shares her story...including the moment the wonderful way of the world 'flung her off the ride of life' and in so doing created the time and space for her to fully explore the opportunity her innate passion for art presented, and the gift this ultimately became for kids...of all ages, even those in their 40s, 50s and beyond.
