John worked as a sales consultant for years in the real estate industry before realising there was an opportunity here to connect with clients more effectively and efficiently. 

He went on to found Meson, which literally translates as "middle man" in Greek, which has gone on to become Australia's leading on-shore prospecting company. It's about quality rather than quantity, and John has developed a unique method of making sure that the right calls go through to the right people. 

He sat down with Chris to talk about the difficulties in building a business from nothing, how he overcame the doubters, and what sets Meson apart.

He sat down with Chris  to talk about how closing the door on one dream opened so many others.

With over 40 years in the real estate industry, Terry Ryder has specialised as a researcher and writer on Australian real estate since 1982 and has published four real estate books. When he was writing for Money magazine identifying upcoming real estate 'hotspots', Terry had the idea to build his own business, 'Hotspotting', which has grown to become Australia's #1 real estate analysis company. 

He sat down with Chris to talk about early failures in real estate investing and how that's underpinned his philosophies in investing, how to uncover the best places to invest and why you shouldn't just follow the herd.

- Surviror of domestic violence and homelessness

- Founder of DC Ceremics Studio

- Tireless Vinnies advocate 


After decades of marriage, Diana saved her kids and fled from an abusive husband with nothing but hope to keep her going. Suddenly jobless and alone in a foreign country, Diana only had a car for her and her son to sleep in while he was in the midst of year 12 exams. Diana sat down to talk to us about not only how she survived the experience with the help of St Vinnie's, but how she's gone on to start her own business, become an outspoken advocate for domestic violence survivors as well as St Vincent De Pauls, and how she always managed to stay positive.

As we approach another freezing winter and Chris get's ready to take part in his 6th CEO sleepout, it's people like Diana who we can really help, and genuinely turn lives around.
