Sarah Santacroce : Gentle Marketing Revolution
Thursday Jul 01, 2021
Thursday Jul 01, 2021
When I first spoke to Sarah Santacroce, she introduced herself as the Hippie turned Business Coach, which gave me visions of VW Beetles and flowers, so I was instantly hooked and intrigued to learn more. As you will hear, Sarah has a lovely European Accent with a twist of California that is charming to listen to.
She is part of a growing tide of marketing professionals (myself and several other guests included) who are questioning the dubious path that sales and marketing has taken over the last 20 years. Recognizing that it was not healthy to squeeze herself into a model that doesn’t fit her values and personality, Sarah has created a new niche for herself with her business marketing approach and is here to share her story with us.
I hope you enjoy this conversation and discovering more about the Gentle Marketing approach with Sarah Santacroce.

Purpose & Passion : Shortcast
Sunday Jun 27, 2021
Sunday Jun 27, 2021
This week we are exploring Purpose and Passion. What is your purpose in life? Is this something you are aware of or even considered?
Life purpose is something that I think we probably arrive here with and when we recognize it we can see how it has played out throughout our life. The actions we take, the decisions we make, the roles we choose often have a common factor and this driving force, this sense of purpose is what fuels our passions.
If you are struggling to identify your purpose then you might find this tool helpful. It is a personal development process that helps you identify your IKIGAI.
Ikigai is a Japanese term that (Wikipedia) translates as “a reason for being” or (according to the book I have) “the happiness of always being busy”.
Whatever the true translation is, this tool helps you uncover your path to a good life.

Bryan Clayton : The Uber for Lawn Care (Rebroadcast)
Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
This is a re-release of the conversation I had with Bryan Clayton in June 2020. He is known as the Uber for Lawn Care and I found his story fascinating so I hope you do too.
It all started when he was 13 years old whilst playing his Nintendo. In an attempt to get him moving, his dad suggested they go and cut the neighbour's lawn. It was the $20 his neighbour paid him that got him wondering how many lawns could he cut. By the time he reached high school, he had 200 customers and fast forward a few more years to college, he was already employing five people.
By 2013 he had taken it to 150 employees and $10 million in revenue. However, for Bryan, this signalled the time to move on. So he sold the company to Lusa holdings and tried retirement for a while, but found he needed more of a challenge.
This is where the birth of GREEN PAL came into existence.

Struggle & Flow : Shortcast
Sunday Jun 20, 2021
Sunday Jun 20, 2021
I woke up this morning with thoughts about achievement, struggle and flow.
These thoughts were prompted by a conversation earlier in the week with someone who is currently caught in struggle. I was reflecting on what that was about for them and more generally why we sometimes choose to stay with the struggle and why other times we refuse to.
It seems that there are some people, for whom life always seems to flow, whereas for others it seems to be a perpetual struggle. What is that all about. Here are my current thoughts on it.

Robyn Harris : Soul Alignment
Thursday Jun 17, 2021
Thursday Jun 17, 2021
Soul Alignment is this week’s topic of conversation with Robyn Harris. It is a story of how following a passion can sometimes take us to a place of hopelessness. However, there is a happy outcome, it just requires going a little further along the road to discover it.
When I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, Robyn’s considered reply was Doctor Doolittle. It is hardly surprising then, that the future held a place for animals and for language interpretation. Albeit a very different type of interpretation than that of the children’s story book character.
Today Robyn is the founder of EQUENERGY: Wellbeing Naturally. She describes herself as a Soul Alignment Mentor and works with people at the end of their rope, needing support.
Robyn is currently offering her ‘Feel Your Way from Stress into Flow’ workshops on Zoom and is planning to run them in person again when lockdown restrictions lift. Tickets and further information are available along with all her other website and social links at:

The Power of Coincidence : Shortcast
Sunday Jun 13, 2021
Sunday Jun 13, 2021
This weeks thoughts are prompted by a podcast interview with one of my guests who has strong Christian beliefs and is in regular communication with (what for her is) God. She runs her entire life based on the guidance she receives and it clearly works.
Some might say this is just coincidence. I personally believe it is something more. In fact ‘coincidence’ is such a regular part of my life that I am rarely fazed by it and have almost come to expect it. I don’t call this God, but for me it is still feels like the guiding hand of unseen help.
I know many people who connect with an unseen force and have different ways of explaining it. Our Spirit-duality event significantly highlighted this for me and more recently I am reading Perry Marshall’s latest book and discovering a lot of people are working directly with what they call ‘Memos From Head Office. It’s a fascinating subject, and yet it is still rarely openly talked about.
How does coincidence figure in your life? Do you call it God, or something else?

Wednesday Jun 09, 2021
John’s story begins at his birth just 2 weeks after his parents and 3 older siblings had arrived in Toronto, Canada. Having liquidated all of their life in war-torn Vietnam, John’s parents had moved the family across the world to start a new life “for the betterment of the next generation”.
When he turned 40 last year, John expected to celebrate by inviting family and friends to take a big holiday with him but thanks to COVID this didn’t happen. Nonetheless turning 40 is a landmark for John and, as you will discover, the party idea holds more significance than it would for most

Axel Meierhoefer : Precision & Success
Wednesday Jun 02, 2021
Wednesday Jun 02, 2021
The one thing that stood out above everything with Axel Meierhoefer is his dedication to Precision and Excellence. Our conversation is the journey from his early passion for aviation and how that led him to understanding that success is when…
“People really gel into a coherent team that enjoys collaborating with each other.”
He says it’s about anticipating what the next person needs, when it is needed and what you need to do, not because somebody told you, but because you’re doing it in support of the overall objective.
“That form of success has a lot to do with trust…
It’s a very special chemistry.”
It’s a level of trust that’s not easy to establish, especially because people mostly have different personalities, goals and perspectives on how things should be.
