(It is important that) diet and lifestyle medicine solutions are tailored to what counts: Results.”

Dealing with busy executives and entrepreneurs, DR Pat has been able to assist them to regain their mindset mastery by using superior individualised wellness initiatives to enable people to be more productive and have more endurance giving them the ability to move forward in their lives.

"To go through life without (making) mistakes I think is probably THE greatest mistake."

With a diverse background in drama and theatre prior to migrating to Australia, Matt Ennis had to curtail his ‘free spirit’ to learn how to apply himself and develop his insurance career. Credibility, positivity and constant evolution through learning and thinking outside the box has culminated in Matt being recognised and awarded the Industry Partner Professional of the Year Award by CBN in 2022.

His mantra is that in any role you’re in, you can always find room to move in that role. He urges listeners to find the challenge in their role and don’t just sit inside the box.

"It’s not about me. It’s about how good we are as a team".

Having had just 2 jobs in over 40+ years in the insurance sector, Rick Wolozny understands the meaning of patience, persistence and perseverance. He has firm views on the advancement of technology, it’s contribution to diminishing technical insurance knowledge and the instant turnaround requirements expected of us 24/7.  However, this does not diminish his belief that “there is still more opportunities in this industry than there is time in the day”.

"Never accept what you are told. Ask another question to clarify."

56 years in loss adjusting has taught Bob Richards a thing or two about working with and helping people. In fact, his enormous community focus culminated in him receiving an Order of Australia Medal and volunteering in India to eliminate polio.

His contribution to the Loss Adjusting sector of the insurance profession and his desire to pass on his knowledge is evident in this podcast as a historical account of the development and growth of loss adjusting since the early 70s.

"Invest in yourself. Don’t adopt a mindset that whoever you work for has to do all your development."

Stephen Jones, as a first-generation immigrant, found out the hard way that if you want to develop yourself and your career, you have to do the hard yards. Apart from gaining his insurance knowledge, Stephen committed to long-term part-time study culminating in his obtaining his MBA.

In this podcast, the passion Stephen has for the profession is palpably evident. But it hasn’t always been a bed of roses – he also discusses the challenges of having been in a role that took a toll on his family and himself.

"What got you here today, may not get you there tomorrow… you have to continually learn to adapt!"

Being pushed by his Dad to ‘get a real job’ so he didn’t come home with black eyes and bruises to recognizing his wife as his most influential support, Anthony Pagano is eternally grateful to have found his way into the Insurance industry.

Having been the recipient of enormous mentoring support in his early years, he is now keen to mentor and assist others in forging a career in the insurance industry. In this podcast, Anthony discusses the challenges of creating a work-life balance and of investing in yourself as well as his belief that people spend more time looking at their mobile phone contracts than reading their insurance contracts!

"I couldn’t even list the (amount of) learnings I’ve gained from working in the insurance industry."

“It’s taken me 30 years to find the job that I really enjoy” and now that he has, Executive Search Consultant Graeme Young has some sage advice for career development in the insurance market. Foremost is that a career in claims could be the best career you could ever choose because he believes that the claims environment is where you are exposed to even more of what goes on in the world. And once you’ve got a dearth of experience and knowledge behind you, it’s how you impart that knowledge and experience into conversations that you might be having with your clients that will make you stand out.

He is also a staunch advocate for global experience stating people may also wish to consider finding a role in another Country to expose themselves to the different working of that market.
