  • How Amazon Can Change Your Life
    In this podcast episode, Adam Hudson, founder of Reliable Education, opens up to Nick about his childhood and what first drew him to entrepreneurship. “I was always interested in business but the first time I heard the definition of an entrepreneur, it really resonated with me. As a kid, I started working at McDonald's, cutting lawns, delivering newspapers, auctioning items, washing cars in the neighbourhood - anything to make money from as young as age 12.”

  • Why Work Life Balance is B*llshit!
    Work-life Balance: a buzz term that suggests work and life are separate entities; that one must clock off from ‘work’ and then enjoy ‘life’ as an individual matter and the two must never coincide.
    True entrepreneurs (and intrepreneurs) understand there is no such thing.
    In this episode of Business Without Bullsh*t, Nick and Jo sit down (via Zoom!) to discuss ‘Work Life Balance’ and turn the concept entirely on its head.
    They discuss how work and life are not mutually exclusive, and to have such expectations is only confirmation that one is living a life void of purpose, meaning and fulfillment.
    Once you find the thing that wakes you up in the morning - the job that doesn’t feel like a job - then the concept becomes futile.
    Nick and Jo believe that to ‘work’ is about having activity and productivity in your life; two key ingredients for happiness and success. They hope to shift popular opinions on the subject, whilst reframing our thoughts about ‘work’ into establishing excitement and purpose in our lives.
    To create something that is bigger than yourself is of the highest regard, and Work-life Harmony is the way to get there.
    If you would love to learn how to tap into your passion, purpose and vision, you will love this conversation.
    This podcast is not for the faint-hearted. It’s for those who are driven and want that extra motivation to push forward and find the thing that allows them to live a life of freedom. If you don’t know what that is yet, this episode will change everything.

  • What the Heck is Bitcoin and Why You Need to Know Before May 12th 2020
    In our most riveting podcast episode yet, this chat with Co-founder of Amber, Aleksandar Svetski, will pull you out of the dark ages and into the future of money and currency. Not for the faint-hearted, this conversation will forever change the way you value your own time and skills and how they have been traded for centuries.
    Aleks discusses why, as a business owner or entrepreneur, you need to find the thing that you live and die for. He opens up about the reality (and ignorance) behind starting his first business and why he needed his first two businesses to fail before he could succeed greatly with Amber. And he outlines how he did it.
    In this chat, Aleks talks about how he has been stuck outside of Australia during COVID-19. Rather than falling into the trenches of this invisible enemy, he shows us how he saw opportunity during a pandemic to grow his business. We learn that it takes more than a global health crisis to keep a good business down.
    As he takes us on his wild entrepreneurial ride, you’ll be on the edge of your seat learning about bitcoin and why you need to get on board in the next five days.
    Changing the way you think about the value of money, once you hear this podcast you’ll never be the same again.
