STRIVE Podcast

In this episode of the HYPECAST we had the please of interviewing the 2020 Australian of the Year, James Muecke.

James is one of those human beings who achieve more than you thought would be possible, all with the intention of providing more opportunity for those less fortunate. James is an eye surgeon based in Adelaide and a visiting consultant and senior lecturer at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Women’s and Children’s Hospital. Dr Muecke has a special interest in blindness prevention, ophthalmic research and education in the developing world. He was a co-founder and Director of the Vision Myanmar Program.

Just to show you some of the achievements James has received we pulled the following excerpt from the Sight For All website:

Dr Muecke received an 'Outstanding Service in Prevention of Blindness Award' by the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology in 2011. He was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia in 2012 and received a South Australian Community Achievement Award. In 2015 Dr Muecke was the recipient of the Ernst Young Social Entrepreneur of the Year Award and he delivered the Hollows Lecture at the 2016 RANZCO Congress. In November 2019, Dr Muecke was announced SA Australian of the Year 2020 and was awarded Australian of the Year 2020 in Canberra on 25 January.

In this episode of the Hypecast we talked to Skye Nicolson, Commonwealth boxing gold medalist and recent qualifier for the Australian Olympic boxing team.

Skye was meant to fight in Wuhan, China for her Olympic qualifier, just days before the covid-19 crisis hit! She then went on to fight in Jordan and won her qualifying match to make the Olympic team. But it's been bitter sweet for Skye, with the Olympics being postponed until 2021. 

Hear what it has taken for Skye to get to where she is today, what impact covid-19 has had on her Olympic dreams and much more.

He now uses this experience to drive incredible results for his own clients at Mint Marketing Agency.

In this episode of the HYPECAST we were joined by co-owner of Blackboard, one of the Gold Coast's OG cafes, chef and hospitality master, Marc Kinvig. Marc has been a huge inspiration for us in hospitality and a guiding hand for some of our own ventures. He knows hospitality inside and out, and we wanted to hear his thoughts about the impact that COVID-19 has had on hospitality, how he has managed it, and what he expects to come next.

If you're in hospitality, you would want to listen to this! Or even if you aren't, this was just a highly engaging chat with an incredible intellectual businessman with some incredibly wise words for all of us in business.
