In The Game Podcast

Today, we continue the conversation with a man who worked for Telcos, Fintec and Software companies and consulted for big players in Australia like NRMA and Suncorp only to choose complete fulfilment as a FULL-TIME DAD!

Realizing that his two kids were young and that he didn’t want to miss a minute of it, he shelved his double Masters degrees and replaced them with Chai-colada instead.  He zooms in and out of the daycare space like an OG and right into wheeling and dealing boutique cafes w his Chai start up, his advising in the UAV space and boutique property development.

I was drawn to this man instantly.  I could feel that John Solomon was no ordinary Indian man and that he had LIFE coursing through his veins and I needed to know more about it.

So, here we are able to sit down and really uncover what allowed him to transition out of the stereotypical success role and into one that is filled with one kid on the hip and the other banging away on his drums while Dad makes the eternal SNACKS!!

I appreciate you John for taking a moment out of Daddy-daycare to share with our community of dreamers…

Today, we continue the conversation with a corporate lawyer turned Youth Fitness Advocate.  Imagine being a leading corporate lawyer and management consultant advising publicly-listed companies and governments on how to save millions of dollars to then buying and building your own gym aimed at teaching and training kids. It’s not like these two things were related fields AT ALL. 

Sam Mathers was the Australian Corporate Mum-of-2 who was passionate about her CrossFit and exercise and was coaching functional fitness to youth as a volunteer.  It was a conversation between her and her hubby that asked: “if I could do anything and money didn’t matter…if I could do what I’m truly passionate about…what would I be doing? And the answer came out crystal clear: coaching youth!”.  She recognized that Consulting law may have paid well and she was good at it, but she wasn’t changing lives – so the writing was on the wall in big BLOCK letters: MAKE THE CHANGE. And in 2016, she created “Fitter Futures” w her front and centre tagline…“Changing Lives”.  She no longer dreams about what could be but is living it, moment by moment.

When Sam invited us to her colourful, modern and epic new gym-space-opening, hearing her story had me know I had to share it with our wider community – it’s the permission some of you need TO TAKE THE PLUNGE.  As you listen to her story, pls be aware that this has been brewing in her since 2012 and possibly even longer before that; its an evolution.  Recognize what stage you might be in and then listen for what’s possible in Sam’s story!

The Goods on Sam at Fitter Futures:

I’ve always been active, as a kid, teenager and now adult.  And as a parent of two young daughters, I am very conscious of being a role model who has a big influence on their mindset with respect to self-image, self-confidence, setting goals, and being healthy, fit individuals.

I love how our program here at Fitter Futures appeals to lots of different types of kids and teens, including those who until now, may have struggled to enjoy physical exertion or sports.  And for those kids who are enthusiastic athletes in their chosen sports, we have seen how our training program helps them develop their athleticism and improve performance in those pursuits.

It’s so satisfying to see kids and teens having fun while being challenged, and gaining confidence by achieving something great in every work-out.  Aside from the obvious physical benefits, our program fosters self-belief and kids learn life lessons about resilience, perseverance, trying your best, respecting your body and respecting and encouraging others.

I am passionate about ensuring that every child we coach has a great experience, and that we positively impact the future of every athlete that we are lucky enough to work with.Start working on your body today, and with our individual fitness program, already in 90 days you will see a totally different girl in the mirror!

Today, we continue the conversation with an Australian serial entrepreneur. Best known for co-founding the start-up Temando where he layered a level of technical intelligence over the entire fulfillment process of goods -  It became one of the biggest technology companies in Australia – raising $56M in funding, and establishing 5 major global offices which was recently sold to a $1.5B Revenue French Listed Company!

In many ways, he is living every Start Ups dream, and yet, I’m sure we will hear about the hurdles he had to jump to make it a success.  Carl Hartmann has since co-founded Shortlyster as a response to the recruitment challenge he faced in growing his own tech business so quickly.  Most recently, he is a co-founder of Lyre Spirit Co which has recreated the major alcoholic beverages in ‘non-alcoholic’ form. Lyre has quickly become one of the fastest growing new consumer products in the world!

“Midas Touch” is what I keep thinking.  Winning multiple awards like the IBM Global Entrepreneur of the Year Australia and being an adjunct professor of Entrepreneurship & Innovation, we clearly can learn a lot about “taking an idea and creating it into a living, breathing entity in the world!

Thanks Carl for spending time sharing your journey with us…
 
The Goods on Carl:

Carl Hartmann is a prominent, multi-award winning Australian serial entrepreneur, who is best known for his work in co-founding Temando, Shortlyster and Lyre’s Spirit Co, and his involvement as an investor & board member/advisor to a range of leading technology companies around the world, including AI cross border compliance platform Hurricane (UK), electric Jetboard manufacturer Radinn (Sweden), drone delivery company Flirtey (USA), leading LATAM shipping platform Intelipost (Brazil) and FMCG solutions platform Brandlink (Australia).

Carl Co-Founded his first start up Temando in response to the disconnect between the delivery experience consumers were receiving and the fulfillment capability of today’s merchants. Carl realized the need for a layer of technical intelligence over the entire fulfillment process - from wherever goods are, to wherever they need to be, no matter how they need to get there. Carl took Temando from an idea to one of the largest Australian technology companies, having raised over $56M in funding, established 5 major global offices and established many global strategic partnerships with both carriers and technology partners, and was successfully acquired in a trade sale by Neopost S.A. ($1.5B Revenue French Listed Company) in 2017.

Having experience firsthand the challenges of recruitment in a fast-growing technology company, after exiting Temando, Carl co-founded Shortlyster, an intelligent recruitment platform that solves the problem of matching candidates to job roles with specific skill sets, and helps ensure candidates are the right fit for organisational cultures. The platform uses a big data approach and applies its unique algorithms to match candidates to role requirements. It actively compares and contrasts candidates and rank orders them according to suitability. Shortlyster helps companies save time and money in their recruitment process and more importantly, help them get the right candidates with the right skills, the right qualifications, and right person-fit characteristics. Shortlyster has raised $5M in funding to date, and is now going through tremendous growth across Australia, the UK and USA.

Most recently, Carl also co-founded Lyre’s Spirit Co – an innovative beverage company using cutting edge food science, that has recreated all the major alcoholic spirits in non-alcoholic format, in response to growing segments of the population who either do not drink alcohol or choose to drink less – but still want an the taste of an adult drink.

The Goods on Rabia:

International speaker, humanitarian, best-selling author and hostage survivor Rabia Siddique is known for making every day count.

The retired British Army officer, criminal and human rights lawyer and former terrorism and war crimes prosecutor, is also a sought after transformational coach and mentor.

A common thread in all her roles is a desire to make the world a better place, to give voice to the voiceless and to lift up those around her so that they may be the best version of themselves.

Taking inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi, Rabia lives by the words ‘be the change you wish to see’ in the world.

Having survived a 2005 hostage ordeal in Basra Iraq, Rabia committed to living each day with purpose, to serving others and speaking her truth.  

Ordered by the British Military to never speak of how she was taken hostage while negotiating the release of captured Special Forces soldiers, Rabia developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Her brave action for suing the British Government for sexism and racism, against public ridicule, became a catalyst for policy change to ensure a fairer workplace for women and cultural minorities in the military.

Today, she is an Australian ambassador for the United States based Support Veterans Now, Project Peace on Earth as well as several Australian charities. Rabia is a director of the International Foundation for Non Violence and The Museum of Freedom and Tolerance Western Australia.

A recipient of a Queen’s commendation for her work in Iraq, Rabia has received numerous awards for her human rights and community aid work in the Middle East, South Africa, the United Kingdom and Australia.

She was the runner up for Australian Woman of the Year UK in 2009, Australian Business Woman of the Year Finalist, a finalist in the Australian of the Year Awards, and named as Australia’s Top 100 Women of Influence.  Rabia has been nominated for the Woman Lawyer of the Year Award and cited as a case study at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York.

A keen runner, Rabia, who speaks English, French, Spanish and Arabic, has completed the London marathon and a double marathon in Australia for charity.

Consistently striving for personal and professional growth, Rabia’s most rewarding challenge is being a Mum to her triplet sons.

Today, we continue the conversation with a red-hot entrepreneur.  With her online fashion brand Sirens Swimwear really taking off, her technology platform Try@Home changing the game and her e-com lifestyle-mentoring brand in full swing, you wonder how Bettina McLeod has time to be a single mother of her hearing impaired and autistic son. 

We met at a professional development course and this women oozes power and assuredness.  Growing up in country town Molong, Australia and promptly telling her Mum that she was headed for the big smoke of Sydney to be a fashion designer kind of gives you an idea of what was to come.  Learning her sales and marketing in real estate and then buying her first business by following author Brad Sugars step-by-step approach.  I can’t wait to ask her more about this and what happened when she called the infamous Sugars for more advice! She went on to own 15 businesses over the years and so she’s a seasoned veteran who values mentorship and accountability above all!

I love how this woman is not only willing to do whatever it takes to be successful but that she will do the same for others.  She stands for other female entrepreneurs being successful too.

Can’t wait to get stuck into it Bettina so we can bring more direction and clarity to female entrepreneurs in particular.

 
The Goods on Bettina:

Bettina McLeod is a visionary leader who blends operational systems and marketing to better the lifestyle and experiences of others. With an entrepreneurial spark that began at the age of 14, Bettina challenged the status quo by leaving school early and diving straight into business. 

She quickly learnt that trading hours for time was not a winning situation, and in order to create the lifestyle she wanted; she would need to become her own boss. This mindset led her into 25 years of business as a multi-passionate entrepreneur before becoming a leader in lifestyle businesses. 

Throughout the years, Bettina has built, grown and transformed numerous lifestyle brands. She has a strategist background, loves to problem solve, and is the current owner of 3 businesses; stunning 1950-60s swimwear label Sirens Swimwear, new technology platform Try@Home, and her e-com lifestyle mentoring brand.

As a single mother of a child with special needs, Bettina knows how important it is to create a balanced, automated and fun lifestyle. When she is not working on her businesses, you can normally find her spending time with her son, her partner, investing in herself or socialising with friends. 

She credits her success to mentors who have championed her along the way, and believes finding a good support network, as well as making time for self-care is key in business. Her mission is to empower others on a global scale to create a lifestyle business which allows for more time, money, flexibility, freedom, and a purposely designed life.

Today, we continue the conversation with Australia’s leading business and high performance strategist.  Kerwin Rae has helped 100,000 businesses in 154 industries in 11 countries and he’s done this by failing out of school, battling addiction, almost dying 6 times and facing much adversity in his life.

Starting his first business at 23yrs of age, writing a powerful personal Creed for his life in 2001, we are so curious how his life has come to match the prolific words he wrote to himself almost 19yrs ago. 

The Creed:

Guided to understand the infinite process of change

Receptive to his own divine love and guidance

Patience and see the experience in the moment 

Equanimity

Path be clear

Open to receive

Humbled in the divine order

Higher consciousness attracts

Message of love

Heal trillions of people

Shared knowledge and shared gift

This man rises above the odds and brings familiarity that people are embracing in countless numbers.  His willingness to be vulnerable and share his own trials and tribulations and provide clients with the tools to breakthrough has allowed them to be unstoppable in their own lives. He even has a "Bring-Your-Shit-To-Work" policy for his staff members - he just does things a little differently than others.  

Nat is especially joining us in today’s conversation as she recalls clearly meeting this 19/20yr old and thinking “he’s a special one” and now to get to track the contribution he’s making out in the world…

The Goods on Kerwin:

Kerwin Rae is Australia’s leading business strategist and high performance specialist helping over 100,000 businesses, in 154 different industries, throughout 11 countries world-wide, with his revolutionary, no bulls** approach to business growth and personal transformation.

Unlike other coaches or consultants who offer entrepreneurs and growth seekers at best, pieces to the puzzle, our events and programs have a comprehensive blueprint for success and are designed to accelerate results fast within a purpose-built community thriving with culture.

Having failed nearly every subject at school, battled addiction, and encountered six near death experiences, including a stroke which nearly killed him, Kerwin’s ability to conquer the odds is second to none.

Kerwin’s appeal lies in his unique approach to share the trials, tribulations, vulnerabilities and adversities that we’re all so familiar with – equipping clients and audiences with the tools and capabilities to break-through barriers, unlock their true potential and become unstoppable.

The entrepreneur has reached millions of people across the globe with his extensive social media following of well over a million people, and compelling content which covers business, mindset psychology, high performance, health, parenting and relationships. 

Kerwin has also appeared in mainstream media for his cutting-edge business nous in publications such as The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Financial Review and ThinkBig Magazine. Kerwin has also shared the stage with legendary names such as Sir Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Mark Bouris, and Sir Alan Sugar to name a few.

Today, we continue the conversation with a Champion.  Hitting her first squash ball at the age of 2.5, Liz Irving’s destiny seemed assured with a Squash World #2 Mother and competitive playing Father forming her DNA – but is it a genetic pre-disposition or is it more about the environment she was raised in?  Rising to World #2 herself and inducted into the Australian Sports Hall of Fame in 2011, she also went on to coach Malaysian legend Nicol David from 2003 to the present which has included 9yrs consecutive as World #1!

Currently residing in Amsterdam, where she runs her successful Liz Irving Elite Squash Academy, she has somehow found time to develop an innovative and comprehensive app called The Squash Lab.

This woman has that Midas Touch and somehow does it all with a humility and grace that allows her to continue creating new and expansive business ventures.

Thanks Liz for speaking to our community amidst any jet lag you may be experiencing as you’ve only just flown in from Amsterdam…

Today, we continue the conversation with a man who at 22, saw his chance for wealth and jumped at it.  Investing his first $35,000 in a property that became $3.5M 9 years later w multiple properties, he did what any other logical 31yr old would do – he retired!  Well, sort of.

Chris Gray laughs that his friends think all he does is get on super yachts and take lavish vacations while his wife thinks he needs to slow it down with his countless hours in his Buyer’s Agent business ‘Your Empire’, being a regular columnist for the mainstream media, and his regular stint on the Sky News Business Show “Your Property Empire” – this accountant by trade has decided to turn the emotions of buying property into a spreadsheet that has his clients winning – a lot! 

Welcome Chris to our community of dreamers who are definitely looking for ways to fund their dream life…

The Goods on Chris:

As an investment property expert, I teach people how to create wealth and improve their work/life balance through investment property. Many people work hard to pay off their home, or perhaps have just one investment property. I seek to change conventional thinking—and to teach people how to better leverage their income & equity to provide cash flow for their lifestyle. My strategies are easy-to-understand, but incredibly powerful and life-changing for anyone willing to take action. For instance, instead of working overtime, how about leveraging your equity to buy an investment property, and using the rental income to supplement your working income? You could then buy another investment property and switch to part-time work.

My expertise has come from a mix of experience. I am a professional investor, qualified accountant, buyers’ agent & mortgage broker, all of which have contributed to my success in property. But more importantly, I am passionate and have funded my own lifestyle with investment property income for over 15 years. I began property investing at 22 with only $35,000, & turned that into a $3.5m portfolio in less than 9 years. This allowed me to retire from full time work at 31. My portfolio is now in excess of $15m & continues to grow. 

I am also the CEO of Your Empire, an independent property consultancy that builds investment property portfolios for time-poor professionals. In my earlier days, I personally taught clients how to create wealth & lifestyle options through investment property. I now better leverage my time by providing advice & strategies regularly through my TV appearances, keynote speaking, my books & the general media. You can also see me at 6.30pm Monday nights hosting Your Property Empire on Sky News Business Channel.
