MMS Unplugged

Pete and Jeremy team up again to mark the ANZAC occasion for Remembrance Day 2026, sharing more family stories from the Great War of 1914-1918.

What takes you from heavy metal bands to classical guitar and building instruments by hand? Meet Maxxia RA Martin Veneracion, whose lifelong passion for music has taken him from Spain to the West Australian Guitar Orchestra, with plenty of fascinating stops along the way.

He is Jack. 24 years old. Maxxia Customer Care Consultant. He's also on a mission that tends to fill every room he's in with joy. We experienced this first hand and can't wait to speak with him again. Find out what makes Jack such a unique and amazing human.

We kick off Season 4 of MMS Unplugged with a special episode to mark Mental Health Awareness Month. Join RemServ Ops Team Leader, Geoff Asser for a powerful and moving dialog around his own experiences with mental health – and don't forget, if you or someone you love is experiencing a mental-health-related issue, our wellbeing partner Sonder is here to help. 

Our Season 3 finale coincides with R U OK? Day, so we took the opportunity to sit down with Customer Establishment Team Leader, Sam McGrath who is also one of our Brisbane-based mental health first aiders. Enjoy Sam's massive personality and depth of knowledge on this all-important subject and don't forget, if you or someone you love is experiencing a mental-health-related issue, our wellbeing partner Sonder is here to help. 

What happens when AI becomes a teammate, not just a tool? Darko Knez joins us to unpack agentic AI, the future of work, and the mindset shifts that will help people and organisations thrive in an AI-powered world.

One thing we're entirely guilty of on Unplugged is being slightly Melbourne-centric. Distance does limit in-person chats but that doesn't stop us jumping on a Zoom call which is exactly what we did with Sean Ramage in Perth last week. Meet our new WA RA team leader and hear about why he's been doing 2am starts, and why he absolutely loves animals and darts.

We love talking to new starters on Unplugged, especially when they have personalities like Ayesha who is our newest Senior People Business Partner, working with C&G, but more importantly – one of the most fun guests we've had! Get to know Ayesha now and find out why Michael Lyons is considering getting a nose job after one conversation with her...

From her dad's car dealership, through digital platforms and scale-up businesses, Penny Kee has found a perfect fit in her leadership role at Oly. Hear about her vision for our newest business and why she's excited about this next phase of growth.

Wrapping up our spotlight feature series on the 2025 Hero Award winners, Aniket and Pete join us from the Onboard Finance Term Out Project team to chat about the work behind MMS's inaugural Better Together team award.
