    #53. Find Your True North - Kane Hansen
    2024/08/22
    Kane Hansen, the Founder and Managing Director of True North Lifestyle & Academy, has been someone who hasn't let his past dictate his future. He grew up in a low-income household with a single mother and multiple siblings, with his early years marked by significant challenges, including his parents’ divorce and his mother's cancer diagnosis. Despite the challenges and obstacles, Kane moved through tough situations and a rollercoaster journey, which included being educated at the Original Boys’ Town (now Dunlea Centre) in Sydney, a secondary school for disadvantaged youths. At Boys’ Town, he learned essential life skills, practiced discipline and routine and formed his core values. Kane's journey into the financial world was unconventional. After a series of unfulfilling jobs, he left Sydney to work in a mine in the Northern Territory. During this time, he immersed himself in financial books, upskilling and boosting his knowledge as well as moonlighting as a stock trader, gaining hands-on experience and self-education in financial management. In 2010, seeking to formalize his knowledge, he completed a Diploma of Financial Planning. This led him to leave his high-paying job to pursue a career as a financial adviser. He quickly gained employment with a successful financial practice, where his innovative approach and client-focused strategies set him apart from the rest. After a desire to continue his progression and really help as many people as he could, he started and founded his own practice, True North Lifestyle in 2015. Through True North Lifestyle, Kane helps people from all walks of life take control of their finances and build their dream lives. His focus on smart money management and creating financial freedom resonates with many clients. His passion to make financial strategies and knowledge as accessible to as many people as possible, in 2023, he founded True North Academy, an education platform aimed at teaching everything from basic budgeting to advanced financial strategies. His goal is to improve financial literacy and empower individuals to win at the money game. Kane has a deep gratitude for where he's come from and where he is now so as soon as he was able to, he involved himself with giving back, firstly with his old school, the Dunlea Centre (nee Boys Town) as a Foundational Board Member and also with PCYC and Project Youth. Kane’s vision and ultimate goal is to build a retreat for disadvantaged youths, offering them a safe place to set clear goals, develop strong values and learn practical life skills. As a loving fiancé and now Dad, Kane has a deep appreciation for life and continues to learn and grow. He has just authored his own book, "Find Your True North" and shares within this episode many of his reflections on life, his passion for helping youth and his knowledge and experience in finance.

    #52. People, Politics and Lifting Democracy Literacy - Hon Milton Dick MP
    2024/08/15
    The Honourable Milton Dick MP, who is currently the Federal Member for Oxley, had the honour in being elected as the 32nd Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives in July, 2022. With a strong focus on serving the community and helping whenever and wherever he can, Milton has had an association with the political landscape since he joined the ALP at the age of 18 as a university student and served as National President of Young Labor. He's worked in a number of other roles, from Electorate Officer for David Beddall and a position working for Senator John Hogg, the President of the Senate at the time. In 2004, he was appointed as the ALP's State Secretary and Campaign Director, having served as a delegate to the national conference since 2001. He led the party's successful campaign in Queensland at the 2007 Federal Election and announced his resignation in December 2007 to stand for political office, which he was successful in being elected as the Brisbane City Councillor for the Richlands Ward. During his time as a Councillor, he held the Deputy Leader of the Opposition and then Leader of the Opposition from 2012 to the time of his resignation in 2016, where he he was pre-selected and elected as the Federal Member for Oxley, following the Hon Bernie Ripoll's retirement. During this episode, Milton's passion for people, for community and for increasing the level of what he calls Democratic Literacy is very evident. As the 32nd Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives, he takes huge pride in his position and the responsibility of the role is certainly not taken for granted.

    #51. Travel, Training & Events Reimagined - Steven Demedio
    2024/08/08
    Steven Demedio has a distinguished career in the sales, travel and most recently, training and personal development space, helping individuals and organisations unlock their full potential. Having been in the corporate world for some time, he has long imagined a different vision for how both trainers, coaches and organisations not only approach personal development and events, but how things can be shook up to challenge the status quo. This led him to join forces with a long term colleague and friend, Mark Hodgson, who in 2019 founded Mind & Body Travel, an agency focused on shaking up the travel space and getting people to think about the holiday they need, instead of what they want. It's this vision, which has inspired them to expand to the Mind and Body Group, allowing them to take advantage and strengthen the synergies that exist between travel, training and events. As a Director of Mind and Body Group, Steven's focus is to both challenge, cultivate and facilitate training and development activities, retreats and events that really brings teams together and unlocks a deeper level of connection and collaboration. Within this episode, the two Steve's discuss a wide range of topics and Steven's story, insights, reflections and thoughts on not only travel and training, but on life are so valuable.

    #50. Homeless To Hopeful - Transforming Spaces & Lives - Norm McGillivray
    2024/08/01
    Norm McGillivray is a renowned Australian humanitarian dedicated to addressing homelessness through innovative and compassionate solutions. His journey into homelessness advocacy began from a deeply personal tragedy that transformed his life's mission. Norm experienced the loss of his father, who died homeless on the streets in his 40's. This life-altering event spurred Norm into action, driving him to create initiatives that provide sustainable support and hope for the homeless. With a background in business and a keen understanding of social issues, Norm founded Beddown, a pioneering organization that repurposes underutilized spaces, such as car parks, into safe, clean, and secure pop-up accommodation for the homeless during the night. Beddown not only offered a place to sleep but also provided access to essential services including healthcare, dental care and mental health support, effectively addressing the holistic needs of the homeless community. Ultimately though, as Norm details, it was the lack of support and unrelenting red tape from councils and governments that prevented it from really being able to grow and make more of a difference. His innovative approach and unwavering commitment has garnered widespread recognition and struck a cord with many, shining the spotlight on an issue that has, is and will continue to grow without action and investment from government departments and agencies. Beddown became a symbol of practical compassion, demonstrating how community resources can be leveraged to create impactful change. His work has inspired many to rethink the possibilities of urban space utilization and to engage in the fight against homelessness in meaningful ways. After stepping away from Beddown, Norm's current pursuit is on having a State Of Emergency declared to unlock funding and services to really being able to work on helping those who need help, to improve their lives and health while offering a holistic approach to put the pieces back and allow them to move forward with hope and optimism.
