We interviewed Ryan Van who is a Fellow Admissions Manager at Earlywork. Ryan has actively delivered exceptional value to early stage startups to innovate and scale their business operations to the next level, and is also part of the co-creation of Australia's first success based tech sales bootcamp! Moreover, he shared his experiences within his core areas of sales and marketing, actionable tasks organisations must commit doing to build solid brand equity online, and his effective approach when it comes to acquiring new knowledge.

It was an honour to sit down with Mathew Zikpi who has built an attractive portfolio of experiences in business development, strategy, partnerships, and now recently working as a start-up product strategist at Appetiser Apps. We discussed a lot about his transition from management consulting to working with ambitious startups, his personal productivity system at work and home, wisdom captured from his time as a student coach at startmate, and learned about his definition of success.
This was an incredible episode that will change the way you think about growing your human potential and will help elavate your journey towards sucess.

In our latest episode, Naren and I had the pleasure of having a deep conversation with Veronica who is a mentor at Techstars and is the creator of her own self MBA program at VRM performance coaching. Inspiring the next generation of leaders and building a climate of personal growth are some key goals Veronica continues to focus on. Her infectious energy and excitement when it comes to personal development made this epsiode an absolute blast to record! If you are interested in cultivating a growth mindset and want to optimise your wellbeing, this is an episode that can't be missed.

This week, it was fascinating to hear insights from Damian D'souza who is a Manager at Oliver Wyman. He has accumulated 5 years of experience at the consulting firm and has previously worked at KPMG as a senior associate. We enjoyed diagnosing the problem solving mindset, the most important traits of senior professionals to build trust among others, favourite TED education talks, the beginning of his MBA journey in Barcelona, and more personal and career development insights!

Enjoy this episode!

It was great to have an insightful chat with Max Luker who is currently the President of the Global Consulting Group at UNSW (Australia). Whilst studying his double degree in Civil Engineering and Commerce, he is working as an undergraduate consultant at E3 Advisory, and has continued to grow his professional brand and transferrable skillset by completing internships at Sydney Water and KPMG. We discussed a range of topics that include 3 high-value traits of a future leader, why students should think about the benefits of pro-bono consulting as early as possible, feedback from his internships, and one of the best books he's read in his life. His drive and energy to share knowledge to others was amazing to hear - enjoy the episode!

It was fantastic to talk to Jack Pittman who is a current student at UNSW and has actively been involved in a melange of opportunities such as content writing, project consulting, coaching, podcasting - all of this while still an undergraduate which is amazing! We also discussed some of his learnings being a 2022 summer intern at EY, a Project Manager at Global Consulting Group, and his contribution in the UNSW Sandbox Program that helped him harness transferrable skills to any industry!

We interviewed Winnie Yip who is an Engagement Officer at the University of New South Wales. Winnie plays a vital role in increasing student engagement across all undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA communities, and empowering students to become the best version of themselves by curating employability and extra-curricular initiatives. It was a pleasure to learn from Winnie's experiences as she is zealous about empowering young leaders, motivating and guiding young people to become more self-aware, to engage in active citizenship and to boost cultural intelligence.

We invested our time to talk to Joumana who is an inspiring founder of her own website design agency called Skale. It was brilliant to hear how Joumana shifted towards the entrepreneurial path, how she actually started, and how her zest for creativity has allowed Skale to deliver a significant impact for Australian and global startups. We also talked about the superpower combo between unconventional thinking and courage, some of the primary attributes of an entrepreneur, and some UX and psychology principles current organisations are lacking in to inspire trust and funnel more customers.

We sat down with Aneri Upadhyay who recently finished off with KPMG Australia after a brilliant 4.5 years working in student engagement and recruitment services! It was a delight to have Aneri share her career highlights where she always has a strong focus on cultivating workplace diversity and expanding one's professional network. For students who are currently in the recruitment process whether it be an interview or case study, we shared valuable guidance on how students can showcase their personal brand and confidently articulate their value proposition.
