ACTUALLY DO IT.

We welcome to the show this week Dr James Fielding. James is co-founder of revolutionary headphone company Audeara. Audeara are the creators of the first full-fidelity headphone that tailor their sound to your unique hearing profile, ensuring perfect sound, every time.

James has four degrees, is a medical doctor with a passion for changing the way we think about hearing. As you'll experience during the episode, James has an energetic, inquisitive and positive view on the world... which translates into his entrepreneurial wisdom and makes him a perfect guest.

James specific question was:

"It's a magical moment when someone is able to marry their passions. Even more spectacular when those passions meet a need in the market. As a spectator, these events can seem nothing but serendipitous; though in reality the journey is often filled with much more struggle. Did it take an active bucking of societal norms to pursue a passion project or was there an ease of flow in your pursuits"

We discussed the Ebs and Flows on entrepreneurial life; the geniuses he surrounds himself with; his devotion as a father and much, much more...

Enjoy the show.

THE EFFECT OF ENDLESS ENCOURAGEMENT.

This week the Words With Oz Podcast is proud to bring to the show Miss Rebekah Giles.

Rebekah Giles is a member of the Australian Financial Reviews Top 100 Most Influential Women, and her reach spreads far beyond the esteemed law partnership she holds.

Charity Board Chair, Board member of sporting entities, Tsunami Survivor; as well as having been subjected to over 140 surgeries, Rebekah is the epitome of resilience and self-belief. Though, as becomes apparent during this conversation, it is the encouragement from others and the unwavering support of loved ones, colleagues and mates that Rebekah credits to be the true source of her abilities.

Rebekah's specific essay question was:

"What is your definition of resilience? And how does one call upon it in their life and career when they have not had the misfortune to need it?"

Rebekah provides insights into her thoughts on relationships, failure and culture. Her experiences are real, her reflection raw. This is an incredible episode.

Enjoy the Show.

OUR BELIEF BECOMES THEIR BELIEF.

Oz was lovingly welcomed to the lounge room of Chief Brabon and Emilie Brabon-Hames for this week's Words With Oz Podcast. Emilie and Chief have an extensive history in the training, bootcamp and coaching world but have more recently been making headlines for their work transforming some of Australia's most well-known humans.

As we are quick to find out, their passion lies in a standard of service delivered to all clients subject to their criteria for wanting, needing and dedicating yourself to train with them.

The transformation these two provide is never just physical and it need be something you want, desire and understand.

Chief and Emilie's specific essay question was:

"Long lasting Transformation is an inside-out journey. Is this true? And if so, at what moments do you see that those you work with comprehend the concept?"

We spoke on their history in this space, the differing issues every one faces during a transformation, what it's like to be so dedicated you drive to work in the rain at 4am, some of the wiser and not so wise decisions, and plenty more...

STAND FOR SOMETHING.

This week Oz sits down with entrepreneurial juggernaut Barb de Corti. Just on twenty five years ago Barb introduced Australia to ENJO. In search of a safe cleaning alternative for her household where her son suffered from Asthma, Barb took that passion and this solution; and turned it into a purposeful, powerhouse company that now reaches nationwide.

I asked Barb on the show not only because her story is an inspired one but also because of her innate ability to only see the possibilities in the world. Lessons learned during Barb's journey were not set backs but just necessary stepping stones that would teach her to become the joyful, entertaining and savvy businesswomen she is today.

Barb's specific question was:

A quarter of a century, 50 plus employees and a company worth over $100million. Did 1994 Barb de Corti know that ENJO would experience this success? And at what point did a business that solved a family's problem develop a vision and strength of purpose that would withstand decades of failures, competition and growth?

We speak about real life education, being true to your word and the importance of participating.

Inspiration abounds in this hour of energetic conversation.

Enjoy the Show.

ADAPTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

This week on the show we are delighted to sit down with the gentle, smart and energetic Lauren Vickers. Founder of Eco-friendly activewear range PacoLovesLuna, veteran model and frequent volunteer... Lauren's experience in a world many can only speculate about provides an incredible platform for us to talk on subjects such as facing rejection, limiting our self criticism and maintaining real connections.

Lauren's specific question was:

"Longevity and a sustainable approach have seen you not only survive but dominate what is quite possibly the most fickle industry – modelling. What lessons and beliefs have held true over the last twenty years; and will guide your future in sustainable fashion and sustainable health practices?"

We spoke about clarity of purpose, learning to adapt on the fly and the importance of an inner understanding of ourselves.

Enjoy The Show.
