In today's episode, Matt chats with Rebecca Moore from the charity Noqulewa. They discuss the hurdles of starting a charity and how a single mum juggles charity at home and charity afar.
Noqulewa is a charity aiming to provide medical support for Fijian Villages. Their team comprises dedicated individuals committed to positively impacting the lives of those they serve. They believe charities should have low overheads to provide maximum support for those who need it.
Rebecca's story is truly inspiring and her passion for the people of Fiji is magnetic. Her simple wish is that if each person could donate just $1 they could change the lives of many people less fortunate than them.

Having been in the fitness industry for many years and a previous gym owner, Paige Johnston took the plunge to open a new gym focusing on training and recovery in Currumbin. The fitness industry is an extremely competitive one but with a fresh outlook and a team of fitness professionals behind her, this was a calculated risk and one that is already starting to pay off.
Move HQ is a space for people of all genders, bodies, backgrounds, beliefs and ability levels to enter our space to build a comfortable and life-enhancing relationship with movement and their bodies. 

Paige, a wife and mother of two beautiful children, could be forgiven for just going with the flow, but that is not her at all. She manages to squeeze more into a single day than most people can and wouldn't have it any other way. Sure, her time management might suffer a little but that's a small price to pay.
Matt sits with Paige and discusses what convinced her that opening "another" gym was a good idea and how she manages to juggle what would seem on the outside an impossible life with almost no headaches.

This is a special episode of Peek Inside the Panic Room as we have a work experience student from PBC and we teach him the ropes of podcasting. Let us know what you think about "The Luke Shack"

My name is Luke Stevens. I am a year 9 student on work experience learning to edit, record, and develop a podcast. This week I have spent my time recording and editing this episode of my imaginary podcast called "The Luke Shack". In this episode I interview Matt about his experience as a host for various podcasts, in hopes that it will help me begin my podcasting journey. I enjoyed recording and editing this podcast very much and I have learnt so many things that will help me create a podcast in the future. I hope you enjoy this episode of "The Luke Shack".

This is a raw and unedited discussion with three very special ladies. Three generations of "Luke's" Robyn, Nikki and Allyshia are "super hero's" in their spare time. 
With the tagline "Be a Good Human" Walk With Us (WWU) is a not-for-profit organisation that was established in 2015 to support those experiencing homelessness. WWU now supports youth, those experiencing mental health issues and domestic violence and the homeless and dispossessed. They are an evolving, organic, grassroots-led organisation that continues to adapt to the needs of the community they serve.
The three ladies led by Nikki work tirelessly every week changing lives on the Gold Coast. Hosting dinners every Tuesday night in Burleigh, they can have up to 60 people attend. 
Matt discusses the motivation behind the birth of the charity and what is the "Grand Plan" moving forward, spoiler alert, they need some help.
