Today we have an interesting chat with a Traffic and Transport Engineer from Headway Traffic and Transport.  Michael shares his knowledge from his experience to describe the impact on changes that will occur regarding the central Inner West suburb of Five Dock.  The construction of the metro station over the next five to 10 years will see consistent construction movements in this time.  The construction over this time will take place both above and below the ground.  Have a listen to Michael's views on how it will impact business.

In this episode of TGIF BS, we are tackling the topic of Wealth Management for small business owners.  Our subject matter expert, Michael Clapham from Antipodean Advisory, will go through the reasons people start their own business.  Then flow on to how they achieve their wealth creation goals.  While the information is general in nature, you are welcome to schedule an appointment with him to discuss your personal circumstances.

 

 

In this podcast, we are looking at Social Media for Business.  It might be considered by many as a competition for getting more likes than the next guy.  It could be!  And it can actually be extremely beneficial to your business.  We talk to Social Media Expert, Julia, from Contentgeist.

Bridging the Gap has the following mission:

We aim to help bridge the gap between the health and education opportunities and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, through the funding of essential and continued research.

We aim to identify, through evidence-based research, key projects which will address the existing inequalities between the health and education of Indigenous Australians.

We seek to build Indigenous capacity in our key areas of focus.

We will work closely with Indigenous communities and will continue to collaborate with and consult individuals and groups living in these communities.

We aim to raise public awareness about the need to bridge the gap between health and education opportunities and outcomes for Indigenous Australians.

 We aim to partner with other educational and health institutions, researchers, like-minded organisations and government departments in order to increase our impact and promote the sustainable and collaborative practice.

 

The Birth of the Mother

Keturah is a mother of two teenage boys and Perinatal Pregnancy & Postnatal Massage Therapist, Baby Massage Instructor and a Birth & Postpartum Doula. She is based in the Inner West Sydney suburb Annandale.

In this podcast, we discuss the "birth of the mother" and the changes that happen to a women's brain when she becomes a mother.

Scientists have shown there is an increase in activity in a. These changes are prompted by hormones during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. They create maternal feelings of overwhelming love, fierce protectiveness, and constant worry begin with reactions in the brain.

We discuss Keturahs role as a Postpartum Doula and how she helps new mothers and some advice on how families can help a new mother.

Strength training and ballet

In this podcast, we are speaking again with David Russo owner of Pro-Active Health and Sports about the benefits of strength training and ballet. The conversation is focused on dancing and what training a dancer should be doing to ensure they keep their body strong, reduce risk of injury and improve flexibility.

My daughter Natalies asks the questions. Natalie spends many hours a week training for ballet, so it makes sense that she runs the podcast.

This is what is covered:

- Should I be strength training?

- What sort of strength training should I be doing?

- Will strength training have a negative effect on my dancing?

- What should I be doing before and after my dance practice?

- What are some ways I can improve my flexibility?

In this conversation with Victoria Jacono Gilmovich we look at the role music has played in her life.

Since the age of 6, Victoria has been putting her bow to the violin strings. She has gathered a list of credentials and achievements in her time, so long, that it would take up the length of this Podcast to name them all. I would recommend the listener visits Victoria's profile on her website to see this list. It is incredible, to say the least.

Her love of music education and teaching has led her to create the Inner West Institute of Music in Five Dock, a music school that aims to tailor lessons to student needs and encourage a love of music for a student's lifetime.

In today's Podcast though, we delve into the person behind the music. Tragedy has played a significant part in Victoria's life and the life of her family. I recall speaking to her mum Nellie about this. The pain is still so raw.  We look at how music carried and still carries Victoria through this.

We also look at the role music played in her upbringing and now in the upbringing of her children?

And for all of us with children, we discuss the benefit of encouraging your child to learn a musical instrument or any skill that does not give instant gratification.
