Kallmann syndrome is a rare genetic hormonal condition that is characterized by a failure to start or a failure to complete puberty. It is also accompanied by a lack of sense of smell (anosmia) or a highly reduced sense of smell (hyposmia). The condition can occur in both males and females but is more commonly diagnosed in males. Left untreated, patients with Kallmann syndrome will almost invariably be infertile (source: Wikipedia). Today's interview with Jason will educate and inspire you by: What Kallmann syndrome is and what Jason experienced growing up with this syndrome What it means hormonally to experience Kallmann syndrome And, what happens internally & externally when you experience Kallmann What the treatment is and what happens if a treatment is missed Jason's experience with bullies, why Jason kept Kallmann a secret, and why Jason regrets hiding his syndrome The experience of not being able to smell The power of controlling the narrative of his experience Jason's motivation to start going to the gym and the difference between confidence and egotism How Kallmann can affect procreation and loving relationships and how Jason started getting into the dating scene What it means to look for acceptance from other people The secret power of domestic abuse and the cycle of abuse and the challenges of what it means to get out of an abusive relationship What beliefs needed to be overcome in order to love after abuse How Jason became a Transformation Coach and what transformation means What drew Jason to NLP and how he has incorporated NLP into his business And the thing that is educating and inspiring Jason's Inner Mentor at the moment.   Links to Jason and things we discuss: Jason's Facebook profile  Listen to the Mindset Project interview with Jason Kallmann syndrome Links and Help page on Facebook White Ribbon Australia website Have you subscribed to our mailing list, or on Stitcher, Castbox, iTunes?

Last November, I was blessed to attend the JT Foxx Family Reunion in Orlando, Florida. While there I saw Holly Morphew speak about how to make a financial impact and became inspired to push myself out of my comfort zone of ignorance when it comes to financial literacy. Quite honestly, I'm tired of living month-to-month, with only a little bit to fall back on in hard times. Heck. I'm tired of having hard times. While I do not have institutional debt, I do still owe an FFF (Family, Friend, Fool) money. It's enough of a debt to motivate my performance and to teach myself how to get out of this situation. Not only that, my husband and I have considerable aspirations for the future of our family, both here in Australia and his homeland of Nigeria. We will not be able to achieve anything if we continue to do what we've always done. As Henry Ford said: “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” Today's interview with Holly is one that taught me a great deal, you too will be educated and inspired by: What a Financial Health Counselor is and why Holly became one What the difference is between a financial adviser and a financial health counselor is What creates financial stress What Rotary International did to help Holly’s career How Holly’s business Financial Impact began Why Holly recommends that you start your business irrespective of accreditation Why Holly has a business coach Holly gets into the nitty gritty of what it means to have financial wellness Why Holly recommends you have a 3-8 month emergency fund in savings and she recommends where to put the money Why debt repayment is a need How Holly defines financial literacy Understanding what your debt burden is how to create different kinds of income Why people fear money and feel it controls them How the messages we receive as children teach us about money management How awareness around money and financial literacy can empower us Why passive income is the way toward financial freedom Holly explains what non-performing debt is and why she says: “Get out of non-performing debt as quickly as possible.". How to calculate your Financial Impact Factor What we’re not told about banking systems, loans, overdrafts and fees What financial freedom looked like to Holly when she started her business and what it looks like today Holly talks about her programs and products and how anyone in the world can benefit from what she teaches Why businesses are beginning to invest in their employee’s financial well-being The ladies who are inspiring Holly’s Inner Mentor at the moment And soooo much more!

Judith Van Unen is one of those people I've been blessed to meet that continues to teach me something new with every conversation. Her wealth of knowledge is expansive as today's interview will illustrate. With a background in business that commenced when she was just 16 years old, Judith has owned a number of businesses across a broad range of industries. We explore this experience and discuss what lead her to start the co-directed not-for-profit organisation, Justice Equality Rights Access International. We also dig in deep to the issues surrounding gender quality, women's rights and what is happening on the international stage to continue the conversation. You will be educated and inspired by: How Judith has kept herself grounded and positive through life’s challenges What Judith learned as a youth about working as a volunteer in the disability sector How Judith commenced her entrepreneurial journey How experiencing cancer and raising her children enabled her to maintain focus on what was truly important What it entails to be a business performance strategist Judith explains what Justice Equality Rights Access International is and what lead her to begin a not-for-profit organisation Why it was essential that Judith and the JERA team firmly believe that working with men & boys is key to gender equality Why Judith previously didn’t believe that there was a gender equality issue in Australia, how her knowledge grew and her opinion changed Why youth have an assumption that they won’t face pay inequality and why it’s essential we keep our children engaged in the conversation Why women continue to need women’s rights activism and what some of the lesser known differences between men and women are that aren't spoken about How to engage everyone in the Care Economy and why it’s essential that men have the same access and a voice in the parenting and childcare experience How Judith and the JERA team mitigate the cultural constraints of other countries and why it’s not their right to overlay their Western ideals on their needs. Judith provides fantastic advice for those who wish to start their own not-for-profit What Judith’s why for her work is and what’s educating and inspiring Judith’s inner mentor at the moment.

Sourcing guests for our podcast has been a great experience for me. Naturally I looked close to home and business for my initial guests, however as word spread more and more people began to open up and tell me their unique stories. Today's interview is with one such guest. Aaron Zelman, a life insurance adviser.  One thing I would like you to do before you listen today is to ask yourself, do I have a preconceived idea of what I think a conversation with a life insurance adviser will be like? If the answer is yes, then it's imperative that you in particular listen to this interview because Aaron is not at all what comes to mind.  His is a great story, you will be educated and inspired by: The surprising thing Aaron would like you to know about him Why I interviewed someone in life insurance and why this interview isn’t really about life insurance That said, Aaron does give us a brief understanding of what life insurance is The misconceptions about life insurance and why there is a sentiment that you can’t trust life insurance companies On to the real reason I wanted to chat to Aaron - what led him to resign from a secure, stable and full time employment that he enjoyed The lessons Aaron learned from backing himself The reason he didn’t burn the bridge with his prior employer The early stages of commencing his own business while working from home with three small children Aaron explains how he managed his “3 Shoulds” How Aaron got his first clients and what the high-five milestones were How he made the decision to sell his multi-million dollar business- a surprise turn of events Precisely why he decided to sell and how it worked in accordance with his strengths How Aaron managed the clients and employees in the sale How Aaron and his wife manage family commitments with work The power of time blocking Who’s inspiring Aaron at the moment!

Adam Dunning is a singer and songwriter who specialises in the genre Bossa Nova, with a little bit of jazz and "solar" thrown in. Bossa Nova is little known genre that originated on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro in the late 1950s by a small group of mainly middle-class students, artists and musicians. It is a soft, downplayed samba based on traditional Brazilian music and rhythms, American jazz, and a new style of Portuguese lyrics.* Adam not only teaches us about Bossa Nova but he also teaches us what it means to be entrepreneurial when your work is based in the Arts. In today's interview, you will be educated and inspired by: The motivation that inspired Adam to study law What it means for him to be a creative How he became a songwriter and musician and what it means to be a hybrid What is the music genre of Bossa Nova all about The reason moving to Rio de Janeiro from a high powered corporate law career wasn’t a big leap How he afforded his long term stay in Rio What Adam learned about the differences in culture What taking risks taught him and why his decisions weren't as ignorant as first thought Adam provides three tips to support the growth of your business How musicians evolve and why their biggest downfall is when they change their brand values The importance of thinking like your customer His return to Australia and how he learned to commercialise his music The challenges for artists today Why the commercialisation of art creates more value both for the artist and the buyer What educates and inspires Adam And soooo much more!   Links to Adam and things we discuss: Adam's website Sunset Entertainment Lawyers on Facebook Adam on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instragram, YouTube Where to listen and buy Adam's music: iTunes, Bandcamp, website *A brief history of Bossa Nova IDEO Have you subscribed on Stitcher or iTunes?

Have you ever been to a conference or watched a YouTube video of someone drawing on a whiteboard what the person is saying in a careful, curated way that tells the story in images? The organisation, The RSA, does a great job with their RSA Animates series. These artists are known as Graphic Recorders or Visual Practitioners. I've long loved these videos because I'm a visual learner and find that I remember things better when I can see them - as we'll discover in today's interview, it's how I remember names. I first saw the work of Jessamy Gee from Think in Colour, when I volunteered for TEDxMelbourne, a few years ago. I was really inspired by what flow looked like in action. Jessamy was in her element; it was a beautiful thing to witness. Our very own Admin Asset, Ness Phillips, recommended Jessamy as a guest and instantly I knew she'd make a great storyteller. She has wowed me with her insights into memory retention, education, social responsibility and how images can add incredible impact to someone speaking. In today's interview, you will be educated and inspired by: Why Jessamy is passionate about communication How to be a professional listener who draws Why Jessamy needed to pursue Purpose in her work The journey of Jessamy's path to becoming a Graphic Recorder And, why her worst boss provided the hardest learning curve but the best one How to apply graphic recording for better memory retention What Jessamy did to start her own business Why it took a four year old to validate her as an artist What graphic recording is and when it's best used and when it's not appropriate How she overcame the fear of drawing in front of a room full of people Why intention determines the outcome of a graphic recording well before the pen is picked up How to be a graphic recorder and what the Six Golden Eggs of Graphic Recording are What the process and product outcomes of using a graphic recorder are and how to get the best results from your chosen artist The resources you need to become a graphic recorder and why, if you live in Perth, you need to pay attention What Jessamy learned about social responsibility and how its something we all need to apply And soooo much more!

It is evident by the joyful, enthusiastic way in which today's guest, Made to Create founder, Glenda Ninnis speaks that she loves what she does. It hasn't always been the case. As an experienced graphic designer she realised that her heart no longer sung for her work, even though it was creative.

What Glenda didn’t talk about in her interview, because it was still very hush-hush was the new program she’s developed with Simon Sinek and his team, called Made to Inspire. Discover your WHY Everyone has a WHY. When we know our WHY, we become more confident in choosing the kind of jobs, careers, or projects that are likely to inspire us and make us feel fulfilled. It is like having a compass that helps us make better decisions about what we do and how we would do it.  ‘The WHY is not about making money – that’s a result. The WHY is a purpose, cause or belief. Your WHY is the very reason you exist.’ ~ Simon Sinek The pilot program is to test drive the Made to Inspire WHY Discovery workbook, based on the WHY Discovery online course developed by Simon Sinek. The purpose of this workbook is to help you discover your WHY and construct a WHY statement. The goal is to give you a powerful insight to your contribution and impact you are designed to have on people. What an incredible opportunity!!!

He gets a kick out of seeing a brand and business grow through their marketing, messaging and ambassadorships.  Kebrasca is a down-to-earth and charismatic man who, along with wife Amber, started his business from nothing, right as the Global Financial Crisis was changing the shape of business as we know it. His is an inspiring story of how to partner in life and in business and make a difference to the way the world views you and your business.

If there was to be a tagline for Kylie, it would be that she does death differently. And appropriately, it is exactly the way we want our lives to be remembered and celebrated. It doesn't occur to us to speak publicly about what happens to us when we die, but I think it's essential. In a humble and respectfully funny way, Kylie Mouat, from Kazique Creative Funeral Events, helps us to understand the industry of death and funerals and explains why we need to be real and hands-on in the process of planning either our loved ones' or our own final life celebration. Kylie helps us to learn: The two things we're guaranteed in life How the death of her mother inspired the creation of her funeral services business What elements of Kylie's career and experience have lead to perfect production and event facilitation Why talking about death is necessary to live a full life Why a funeral is really a Life Celebration and a wake is an After Party What is involved with planning your own funeral and why you must be involved before you no longer can What the funeral process is and what your rights are as a grieving family member What the LGBTQ community need to know about their rights for the planning of their significant others funeral How to capture your memories in a portfolio of your life to support the celebration that is who you are Find Kazique: Kazique's website and on Facebook A bonus that we didn't discuss but is well worth watching is the SBS Insight episode called Grand Finale, on which Kylie was a participant. It's where I got the idea to be shot up as fireworks when I die. We'd love to hear how you'd like to do death differently. If you've got questions for Kylie or I post a comment below or hit us up on Facebook. Until next week, blessed be my friends,   "The honour, the joy & fulfillment I get from seeing ease of pain far outweighs any sadness." Kylie Mouat talking about why she does death differently.

I love food. My husband says my version of cooking is 'concoction cooking' because I do not seem to have the ability to follow a recipe without throwing my own spin on things. Fortunately this is actually a good thing as far as it goes to the Bubble Muffin Kids Cooking Club and its founder, Kevin Kapusi Starow. In this fascinating interview, we explore cooking, food science and his determination to eliminate childhood obesity through fun, interactive and playful cooking classes for children. In this fun and funny conversation we learn and be inspired by: Kevin's background in cooking and food education What growing up on a farm taught him about respecting food in its natural form Kevin's biggest mistake in business The really creative things you can do with agar agar and beetroot, or how to make meringue without egg.

Tomas Jajesnica is one chilled out guy. Not much fazes the man who carries a giant smile. What I really like about Tomas is the natural way in which he can convey alternative thinking, like meditation, into a language that corporate business professionals can understand and take advantage of. Tomas is more commonly recognised as MrMeditate himself. Mr Meditate is an in-person facilitated meditation program for corporations to help to create and maintain positive workplace cultures - fostering greater productivity, enhanced individual performance, and ultimately producing considerable growth in profit for business. And who doesn't love extra cash in the bank?! In this interview, you will learn and be inspired by: Who Tomas is and what he means by "patiently and persistently, you are bound to be successful" What meditation is and why it's called a practice The three major things meditation helps us achieve Why you only need to meditate for 5 minutes a day to be effective long term How the business, Mr Meditate, was started, and why How businesses will profit if they incorporate meditation practice into their work days The big, hairy, audacious vision Tomas has set for Mr Meditate The tools you can use to easily apply meditation to your life every day Links to things we discuss: Mr Meditate website Mr Meditate on Facebook and Twitter Tomas on LinkedIn Law Institute of Victoria - Journal - Article by Tomas "Wellbeing: All in the Mind"  Until next week, blessed be my friends,   “Corporate meditation is good for people and bottom lines.” Tomas Jajesnica Episode Gratitude: Vanessa Phillips for the show notes & Junel Estafia for sound engineering, compilation of the music and final editing of this episode.

I find social media to be a beast, it's an unruly, self-defining, ever-changing technological creature. There are no rules. No boundaries. It's a place to play. It never forgets. But always forgives eventually. There are so many platforms, so many ways to reach people and by the same token an overwhelming amount of dizzying noise that I find it hard to find authenticity. Thankfully, we have Megan Davis from Spendlove and Lamb to help us make sense of it all. I've known Megan for a few years now and have admired how passionate she is for this creature that we all love, and hate to love. In this episode you will learn and be inspired by: Who Megan is and how she built her storytelling and social media training, coaching & consultancy business, Spendlove and Lamb organically Why Megan became 'houseless' and what she learned about generosity and the power of amplifying a message Why there is no one and only way with social media Megan offers some tips for people when deciding which social media platforms to focus on We talk about Snapchat, Megan does a great job of making sense of it's pointlessness And, helps us understand Instagram and why Twitter is being misused Megan clarifies why it's not a great idea to use a scheduling tool, despite their convenience We talk about the workshops Megan runs on Twitter, Snapchat and her new storytelling board game And we find out what is educating and inspiring Megan at the moment Links to things we discussed: Megan on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Snap @spendloveandlamb Spendlove and Lamb website Razor Sharp Show - podcast interview: Ep 011 Telling Your Story with Megan Davis We'd love to hear from you.

When I first met Catherine Moolenschot I was in awe of her. Catherine authored her first book at 13 years old. Subsequently, she has written two more and has another one in the works. Oh. And Catherine's 21 (for a few more days)! Yes. Twenty-one years old! She's a remarkable woman. She's an accomplished speaker, having spoken on both the TEDxMelbourne and the TEDxYouth stages, among many others. Catherine seeks opportunities to share her stories, experience and to support our youth to be the greatest versions of themselves. Catherine is full of energy, passion and drive. You've been warned: she's delightfully contagious! In this interview, you'll learn and be inspired by: Who Catherine is and how her quiet deeper side was first identified What it means to be a "Steiner Kid' and how it established a strong foundation in the adult Catherine is How education today treats children like numbers and how it is missing vital elements of personal and entrepreneurial development How her involvement in Limitless Camps is beginning to shape the change she wishes to see in the world How failure made her successful The challenge I set Catherine to accomplish by the end of the year Who is educating and inspiring her inner mentor at the moment Links to things we discuss: Catherine's business: Inspire Greatness Catherine on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn Limitless Camps for Youth Until next week, blessed by my friends, P.s.
