Rachael Johns is one of Australia's most successful romance novelists. She's penned over fifteen books, and has amassed a legion of followers who look forward to what will next unfold in the impossibly romantic Australian outback where men are men who wander in from out of town to get work and then turn up one morning on the farm to lift heavy things with rugged muscled bodies in the sunset. You get the idea. The most interesting thing about this is Rachael's path to success. Yes she's published more than 15 books, but it took her 15 years to get noticed. Also it's interesting how the skills she learned as a kid helped her in her now career - and her creative flow is also something that I'm sure you'll enjoy hearing about. Hosted on Acast.

This episode is brought to you by wonderful listeners who have leant their support on Patreon My guest today is Georgina Venzin who’s the Youth Ambassador for the Mindshift Foundation - a place dedicated to raising the self worth of youth across Australia. They develop self-esteem programs for high-school teachers to provide skills to students, they’ve a pilot program happening now at a high school in Brisbane, and are looking to scale statewide and then nationally.  She’s also a high-profile restauranteur in Brisbane, who alongside her Father manages four separate successful restaurants, and they also work at buying floundering restaurants, turning them around and then selling them as successful businesses.  She’s achieved all this by the age of 26.  Georgina has a very interesting story - growing up with both parents who were living with mental health issues, she almost had to raise her own Mum at one point.  Her path to being an ambassador towards self esteem in young people passes through booking herself in for breast enhancement surgery and then pulling out not once, but twice. She also booked herself in for a nose-job, and again - pulled out at the last moment.  Now, Georgina is a beautiful and intelligent woman, savvy and smart who’s the front-facing representative of a successful hospitality company - and she wears no makeup.  “I learned to love myself for who I am” she told me.  It’s one of the more powerful conversations I’ve had since I’ve done this show.  If you’re a woman listening - think about what it would take for you to go through your day to day life, your corporate life - wearing no make up.  Georgina has an inspiring story, and I’m grateful I could share it with you.

My guest this week is Nathan Birch. Nathan is an incredibly interesting guy, he retired from regular work at 24 and is a self-made multi-millionaire. Following a strict protocol which he freely explains in this show - he's amassed a property portfolio of over 200 properties worth over $50M which after all is said and done provides him with more than $500K a year in passive income.  But that's not why he's on the show. He's on the show because he's a guy who's seen the railroad tracks that we as a society are expected to follow  The repetitive script of Birth School Work Marriage Mortgage Kids Cancer Death that millions of people in western society have followed before us. The script that we're expected not to question. "Here look! Shiny new things! Don't worry about it"  One of the things I love to do is speak to people who've explored life outside that of the big machine and get their perspective of life.  Nathan's approach to how he made his fortune may not be for you or be within reach of you - but his perspective on life is very interesting. Because he's made a life for himself where the acquisition of money and material things stopped being a problem to be solved - so what does he do next? That's the question that I love to hear the answer to.  What do you do once you've left the finish line that society has defined for us well, well behind? When the house, the car, the overseas trip, the big tv, the boat the whatever - once you've got all of those material things - what do you do next?  Now I'm not a client of Nathan's but I love the lessons he's taught here in this conversation.

Mark Holden is a household name in Australia. He’s had more extraordinary careers than I’ve had hot dinners.  He’s been a Teen Pop idol, an on-screen soap opera heart throb, a heavyweight songwriter, publisher and manager in L.A., a music manager here in Australia who managed artists like Vanessa Amorosi, a judge on the first five seasons of Australian Idol, a cancer survivor and now a full-time Barrister in the Victorian legal system.  You’ll hear that I’m very fond of Mark, he was a great hero of mine and guided me through my first years of extraordinary public exposure - as someone who’d done it all before.  We cover a lot of ground here, we get raw and real - and then he tells me about the time he dragged The Hoff out of a fistfight.
