Sustaining Creativity Podcast

Creativity through the lens of a Marketer and Podcaster

"Creativity is Freedom.....Creativity is a way of being, a view of the world, being open minded."

Abigail Gatling is an experienced marketer with a background in education, community engagement, design and PR.

Through her business, Crisp Communications, she offers outsourced, bespoke and beautiful marketing and communications designed to grow your business. Crisp is recently celebrated being nominated a Finalist in the 2023 Sunshine Coast Business Awards.

As you could probably tell by the name of her agency, Abi is a Crisp lover (Smith's Original Crinkle Cut, if you're interested!)... and is just a little too obsessed with her sausage dog, Monty (currently the Head of Barketing at Crisp).

Abi’s passion is creativity and she is on a mission to live a more creative life. So much so that she started a podcast to help further that journey. In the Creativity: Uncovered podcast Abi speaks with people from across a range of industries and walks of life, and finds out how they successfully unlock, unleash and inspire their creativity.

Abi loves her podcasts and recently has been a judge of the Australian Podcast Awards, the Signal Awards and The Webby Awards.

Creativity through the lens of Sally Gimon helping people save taxes with the Spend Thrift Trust

"I'm Tenacious" 

Sally was motivated to become a real estate investor when her mom became sick in
October 2018.  Sally was 53 and needed to make a change in her life quickly.  She has
been an insurance agent for 20 years and has used her experience to make positive
changes.  Now she shares her information weekly in her real estate group and Win, Win
Women TV.
In July 2020 she bought a Bank Owned Property for $20,000 that would go to auction for $50,000 when Covid restrictions lifted.  She knew her Capital Gains would be $7,140 and researched how the rich paid so little in taxes.  This led her to find the Business and
Beneficial Spendthrift Trusts.
Currently Capital Gains are 23.8% on any profit.  There is passed legislation to raise this to 40% for some tax levels.  The IRS is hiring 87,000 new agents.  The Spendthrift Trust defers Capital Gains into infinity and beyond, keeps people judgment proof, and their
information private.
