How to Spark Success

My guest for this episode of the How to Spark Success podcast knows a thing or two about wine… and business!

Aubrey Terrazas is an 18-year hospitality professional, Master Sommelier candidate, and e-commerce entrepreneur who co-founded the digital wine service, Palate Club.

Beyond leading the international wine buying for the team, Aubrey used her experience of tasting 100s of wines each year to identify over 200 wine traits—the core data that Palate Club uses to expertly match wines to your taste.

Aubrey is a wine educator and journalist that champions sustainability and up-and-coming regions for publications such as SommJournal and GuildSomm.

Her ideas and disruption to the classic "wine club" model positioned her as one of America's top sommeliers and wine entrepreneurs. Aubrey lives between Florida and Lyon, France where she frequents vineyards and is an avid runner.

Adapt and thrive? – Think what one of Australia's leading survival instructors could teach you and your organisation about building resilience in times of duress.

My next #HowToSparkSuccess podcast guest shares some of his success secrets that he's learnt over his career as a survival instructor and now expert speaker and facilitator.

Mike House worked for 20 years as one of Australia's leading survival instructors. He is a highly experienced speaker and facilitator. As a survival instructor Mike worked with groups as diverse as youth at risk, multinational corporations and television documentary crews on what has been described as the "world's most arduous survival exercise outside the military" (National Geographic America 1999).

Mike has survived several life-threatening survival situations on the ocean, in tropical jungles, in raging white-water and extended sea kayak journeys.

As a birthday present to himself, Mike undertook a 12 day solo survival walk in one of Australia's most hostile environments, taking 2 litres of water, a pocket sized survival kit and the clothes on his back. Mike put his survival skills to the test sourcing all his food and water off the land – and loved the experience!

By observing and leading people in complex situations of extreme deprivation and duress, Mike has developed keen insight for how humans either panic and suffer or adapt and thrive. He sees the same behaviours in ordinary workplaces and shows people how to view their work, daily tasks, relationships and opportunities through new eyes. Mike is passionate about building resilience in teams and individuals.

How exactly do you go from jumping on classroom tables and getting detention for wanting attention to impacting millions of people in your underwear?

Now there is a question!

My next podcast guest DANIEL GEFEN did just that - going from being completely invisible with no online following to growing his top rated podcast to over 250,000 downloads, interviewing billionaires and world class leaders and becoming an international bestselling author in less than 2 years.

After being pitched hundreds of times by lazy PR agencies he launched Gefen Media Group - one of the first podcast booking agencies and helped influential authors sell hundreds of thousands of books by getting them on top rated podcasts. Seeing a gap in the market for people who couldn't afford to hire a booking agency, he launched Podbooker - a platform for guests and hosts to easily connect.
