In this episode of the Strong Foundations Podcast, I talk to Lynn Crean O’ Callaghan about the future of work, and different ways to think when considering the next steps in your career and your life.

Lynn’s background as a barrister has instilled a commitment to bringing excellence in work and being honest with yourself and others about what you know, what you’re being motivated by, and what you want.

Lynn is the Founder and CEO of Role Recruit, a niche boutique recruitment agency that specialises in the digital space, and is focussed on bringing pace, passion and power to the New Zealand market.

In this episode of the Strong Foundations Podcast, I talk to Bradie Claydon about personal finances and managing debt.

In January 2016, Bradie and her husband Paul came to the realisation that they weren’t paying $1 off their $566,380 debt, and decided they had to make a change to their priorities and how they were living their lives or face a lifetime of debt. 39 months later, they were debt free.

Bradie’s story is a great one, and demonstrates how making small positive changes can compound over time.

In particular, dedicating time and energy to developing a healthy relationship with food, a well-planned sustainable training routine, and a positive mindset.
