In this powerful conversation, Meirav shares how she transformed from being constantly in "action mode" to creating harmony across all aspects of her life.

In this episode of FlowZone, we sit down with Linh Podetti — entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Outsourcing Angel, one of Australia’s leading virtual assistant agencies. But before the business success and freedom-filled lifestyle, Linh’s life began with anything but choice.

Forced into child labour at the age of 10, disowned by her family, and a single mother by 20 — Linh’s early years were shaped by trauma, rebellion, and survival. But what followed is a story of deep self-discovery, personal reinvention, and spiritual transformation.

She shares the pivotal moment she broke down and surrendered, discovering faith and the power of intentional living. From manifesting her dream life to leading a purpose-driven company, Linh’s journey proves you don’t need millions to be free — you need clarity, courage, and conviction.

We talk about raising kids while running a business, designing your life with intention, and why asking for help is the fastest way forward. Linh also opens up about quitting alcohol, balancing growth with grace, and proving that you can scale a serious business without sacrificing your family.

In this episode of FlowZone, we sit down with John Anderton, founder of Butterfly — a platform development company born in the earliest days of the internet. What started as a full-service digital agency quickly grew into a tech powerhouse... until a government policy change in 2018 brought it all crashing down.

John shares the emotional and financial toll of losing nearly everything — going from 54 staff to 19, facing lawsuits, and collapsing from stress. But this story isn’t just about falling. It’s about transformation. From the brink of burnout to rebuilding with purpose, John found his footing through stoicism, scaling up frameworks, and the support of other founders.

We talk reinvention, resilience, and redefining success. From turning around struggling businesses, building AI for skin cancer detection, and raising two boys, John opens up about identity, meaning, and the lessons that only failure can teach you.
