Welcome back to the Driven Young podcast and today I am joined by 21-year-old law student Kate Danilova.

Kate is a 21-year-old student at the University of Canberra, in her fourth year of law. Currently working as a clerk at Blumers Lawyers, she has been lucky enough to be exposed to a variety of work experiences that complement her bachelor's degree. Over the last 4 years, she has committed to trying everything that this crazy world offers by traveling to over 20 countries, participating in 2 half marathons, and coaching a young synchronized swimming team.

Kate reached out to me, she seemed like a perfect fit for the show, being so young, tried lots of things, and really embodying what I talk about on this podcast. She gives a great perspective on how to approach university and take advantage of it, while also building connections so you can line yourself up for a job as soon as you graduate.

This episode is really great and super tailored for young people, I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome back to the Driven Young podcast and today we are talking real estate and property. Is it possible for young people to get into the market? And why should we?

To discuss this I am joined by Andrew Bodnar, co-founder of Kingdom Development. With over 16 years of experience, Andrew is a veteran of property investment. His ability to spot new market opportunities lead him to start (and sell) his own real estate company and financial consulting firm, before applying his expertise to property development.

Last year alone, Andrew and his team purchased over 111 properties, they now have over half a billion dollars worth of real estate in Kingdom Development and the company has been evaluated at $75 million dollars.

So point is, Andrew knows what he is talking about, and best of all he is super passionate about helping young people get into the market, they do this by offering a crowdsourcing solution where people can purchase shares of property without needing a massive unattainable deposit, but we will discuss that in the episode.

In this episode we cover:

• How Andrew got started in property
• Is it possible for young people to get into the market?
• The three steps to get started
• Developing the right mindset
• His crowdsourcing strategy
• Our favorite investment books

and much more.

This podcast is sponsored by Kingdom Development and I really hope you get some value out of this conversation. I learned so much from Andrew and as you will hear at the end if you are in Australia and want to begin your property journey he is more than happy to help you, he even gives out his personal phone number and email at the end of the show.

Welcome back to the Driven Young podcast and today I am joined by Matt Caruana.

Now.... In this episode I am interviewing Matt Caruana. As you will hear in the episode, at 16 years old Matt attempted suicide, 2 weeks later he woke up from a coma to realise that he was still alive. Today he speaks at schools to share his message and works with young people to help prevent anyone else going through what he did.

So if you are sensitive to this stuff I wanted to preframe that before you listened, however, he doesn't go into too much detail.

In this episode Matt shares his story, how he overcame his struggles, he talks about mental health and what he went through, we talk about self-awareness, the importance of a coach and so much more.

Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast and today I am joined by a really good friend of mine, Pace Randolph.

Pace is a super talented musician and artist who has build a following over 100,000 followers online. Even though we only met about 5 months ago, he has become a really close friend of mine and I am so excited for this episode.

This is a really interesting episode, to date it is my longest episode and the majority of it is Pace sharing his story. He shares his story of becoming a musician, moving to Europe, learning a new language, having a fresh restart, dealing with self-doubt, and struggling with imperfection. through this story I point out many lessons we can take away and I just find it really fascinating if I am being honest.

We then shift gears and start talking about growing on TikTok. Pace has been and still is one of the only people I know personally who has been grinding on TikTok to grow his brand and reach new people, as a result, we often bounce ideas and workshop together. He shares an incredible inititive he created, how he approached the platform, his new series that is getting millions of views and how he was able to get in contact with Adam Levine from Maroon 5 and then have Adam invite him to perform with the band.

Welcome back to the Driven Young Podcast and today we are discussing a very serious topic.

In this episode, I am joined by Maddie Heather, a sexual assault survivor, and host of the Reclaim me podcast. In this episode, Maddie and I discuss all things around sexual crimes relating it to young people in an easy-to-understand way.

This is a topic I am passionate about covering, so much so I actually have an entirely new podcast dedicated to sexual assault education with Brent Sanders. He was also episode 43 of the Driven Young podcast so feel free to check that out, called "Consent and Consequences".

However, this is a similar conversation but Maddie is a survivor herself and brings a younger female point of view which I think is very important. I hope you enjoy this episode, this conversation can be confronting but is very important for people to hear.

As per usual, please DM me or Maddie on Instagram if you enjoyed the episode, please leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts if you are enjoying the show and all the links you need on the top link in the show notes.

Now, over to Maddie.
