🔥 Embracing a warrior mentality 🎙️

This week, I sit down with Brad Gimbert, Australian Business Person of the Year, visionary, and a man whose story is nothing short of extraordinary.

Born into hardship as a heroin baby, Brad grew up in a rough neighborhood and a marginalized community that led him down a path that eventually landed him in jail. But instead of becoming another statistic, Brad made a decision—he chose to fight back.

Not with violence. Not with resentment. But with his mind.

Founder of the company Indigenous Wealth, Brad was recently named Australian Business person of the year. He’s bringing real and lasting change to an entire community.

In this episode, we talk about:

✅ His early struggles and the impact of his upbringing
✅ The warrior mentality that helped him escape the cycle of disadvantage
✅ How he went from a criminal conviction to building a multi-million-dollar property portfolio
✅ His mission with **Indigenous Wealth**—helping First Nations people gain financial independence through real estate

Brad’s journey is proof that **where you start doesn’t have to define where you finish.** Now, he's empowering others to do the same—creating generational wealth, not just for himself, but for his community.

This is an episode that will challenge you, inspire you, and make you rethink what’s possible.

🚀 Trust is central to all brand building.🚀


This week, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Mel Yu – an international keynote speaker, brand-building expert, and the powerhouse behind MCO Events.

We dove deep into a topic that every business owner, entrepreneur, and content creator needs to hear: Authenticity in Branding.

With a background spanning events, psychology, and marketing, plus her work as a suicide prevention advocate and Lifeline Australia ambassador, Mel knows firsthand the power of authenticity, resilience, and community.
