Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast and today I am joined by Student Edge co founder Jeremy Chetty.

Student Edge was started in 2003 by four students from Willetton Senior High School in Perth who recognised the gap between the school curriculum and essential life skills not taught in classrooms.

Of particular concern was the pressure placed on students to choose the subjects that would determine their career pathway—at 15—with little support besides a 600-page career profile book.

Student Edge helps students stretch their allowances further in the face of rising costs of living We help students navigate their way through student life and better prepare them for adulthood, with no hidden or political agendas.

I am sure you can see why I am excited to have Jeremy on the podcast, but not only is Student Edge an awesome company, Jeremy is super down to earth, he’s humble and an amazing presenter.

Make sure you check out www.studentedge.org, they re doping awesome stuff!

Daphne reached out to me via email after seeing some clips on TikTok, she really impressed me and I decided to get her on the show.

She is 18 years old and currently studying her first year Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts (Politics and International Relations) student at the University of New South Wales, with a particular interest in youth advocacy and human rights.

She is also involved with unicef, volunteering her time and was heavily invovled in leadership roles throughout highschool.

In this conversation we talk about how COVID has affected her uni experience, online learning and the dangers of it, we talk about consent and what other skills we should have been taught in school, how young people can make more of an impact, cancel culture and much much more.

Today I am joined by David Montgomery or better known as Monty. We actually recorded this episode a while ago but there was a chainsaw in the background so I decided to get him back in for a re-record. The new one ended up being even better and my longest episode yet.

So who is Monty? Well outside of being an incredible and genuine human being he has built a multi-million dollar business and worked with many other companies to help grow their business.

This has allowed him to take the entire past year off to spend time with his kids and launch a new project focused on helping and guiding young people in business. This is called Watchwell and I highly highly recommend you all check it out, if you enjoy the episode and Monty you can book in to have a chat with him or even grab a coffee for free.

Monty is one of the most connected people I have meet so I would definitely take up this offer.

This episode is jam-packed with advice and conversations focused on young people, we cover so much and it seems to fly.

Shil is a Perth based speaker coach, speaker, MC and storyteller. He is also the first speaker coach in Perth to introduce Virtual Reality as a groundbreaking tool to develop your presentation skills.

Public Speaking has always been Shil’s greatest fear – so he knows exactly what it feels like when your body goes numb, your heart starts racing and your mind goes into overdrive! Despite living with a stutter, Shil trained himself to become a professional speaker and developed an intimate understanding of how to harness and control the fear of speaking.

In this episode, we talk about why communication skills are so important, how to start developing these skills, the importance of the little things, first impressions and the three ways we communicate as human beings.

A shoutout to Student Edge for sponsoring this episode, Shil has a course on Student Edge plus, where he breaks down a lot of what we discuss in this episode in far more detail. Go to www.Studentedge.org to sign up for free!

The number one skill people wish they were taught at school, how to manage their money. I love doing episodes like this as it is such an important skill and this episode is such a great all-rounder.

If you are bad with money, this episode is for you because today I am joined by Lacey Filipich. Saving half of every dollar she received from the age of 10. She bought her first property at 19 years old while in her second year of chemical engineering. She continued investing throughout her 20’s, adding shares and more properties to her portfolio to reach financial independence in her early 30’s.

This isn't rocket science guys. She didn't earn any more money than anyone you know. She didn't invest in crypto or anything fancy. This was done using simple habits, investing long term into relatively safe assets and understanding delayed gratification.

Lacey runs a company called Moneyschool.org if you want to check out her free stuff and she also has a fantastic workshop on Student Edge plus who is the sponsor of this episode. Go to Studentedge.org to get access to that.
