THE WORTH TO PERSEVERE.

Aleksandar Svetski joins the Word With Oz Podcast this week. Dedicated to everyone owning and understanding the important of Bitcoin, Aleks is a visionary and a persistent entrepreneur.

We asked him on the show because of his unique insights and understanding into the world of digital currency and the passion he has for Bitcoins origins and purpose.

Aleks' specific question was:

"Whilst talent is often associated with success, in truth, many of the most talented are regularly not the most successful. How did you apply action and desire to your talent to lead you on this innovative, entrepreneurial journey?"

We spoke about forging new paths, learning from mistakes, owning your own luck and the effort it takes to truly succeed in new business.

Enjoy the Show.

OUR MAGICAL HUMAN EXPERIMENT

This week we welcome to the Words With Oz Podcast Miss Penny Locaso. This conversation is close to one of the best we've had on this podcast. From business ideas and scaling, to education, through to happiness and anxiety, voted one of the most influential females in Australia, Penny has the ideas, experience and the determination to cover them all.

We asked Penny on the show because of the interest and traction she is having in the area of entrepreneurship and intentional change. An advocate for fear(less)ness she practices what she preaches and is on track to teach 10 million people, by 2025, how to intentionally adapt in order to future proof happiness.

Penny's specific question was

"Rarely would the uninitiated associate fear with happiness. How do you use its antonym to show the world that intentional change is the future of our well-being, progress and inevitably… happiness?"

We speak about true human connection, the untapped resource of innovation, Penny's trigger moment of change and much more inspirational content. Our Words With Oz Podcast community will come alive from this episode.

Enjoy the show.

VISION, MISSION, VALUES.

This week the Words With Oz Podcast welcomes John Winning to the show. John is he founder of Appliances Online and CEO of 113 year old company, The Winning Group. John's open manner and transparent leadership shone through in both presentation and results.

This was the first time I've asked a guest on the show because they were the person inspiring a previous guest. And I am ever-so-glad I did. John is an impressive thought leader who understands the parts and pieces of life, business and relationships that matter most.

John's specific question was:

"The pressures of tradition and group think are present in much of society and are similarly mirrored in enduring family business. What features stand out as those that allow us to innovate and forge our own path whilst combating the competing expectations of 'what's always worked…'?

We covered a number of beneficial and inspiring subjects including the importance of customer service, his long-term approach to business and his gratitude for brilliant staff.
