#198 Andrea Clarke: How to Lead, Adapt & Thrive in These Crazy Times
In this episode, I sit down with Andrea Clarke — author, former TV journalist turned humanitarian, and now a leadership coach helping people stay relevant in a rapidly changing world. We discuss her new book, Adapt: Mastering Change in Four Steps. Her message is simple but powerful: don’t run from change — anticipate it, engage with it, and learn how to shape it. We talk about Andrea’s interesting early career, the high-stakes environments that shaped her leadership style, why trust and communication matter more than ever. We recorded this back in April, but in these turbulent and divided times, it’s more relevant than ever — especially if you’re leading a team or want to make 2025 a year of thriving.

#196 Chris Joye Returns: Middle East Tensions, Trump’s Tariffs & Australia’s Economic Drift
The return of Chris Joye comes at a critical moment, with tensions escalating in the Middle East and Trump’s tariffs now in effect. In this episode, we reflect on the trade developments since April — back when Trump first rattled markets with his tariff threats. We look at Trump’s unpredictable economic plays, Coolabah Capital’s bond trading strategy, and how quantitative models are being used to read the chaos. There’s no avoiding the geopolitical tension in the Middle East — or the Elon Musk/Trump rift and the impact on US central bank decisions. We also bring it back home — diving into Australia’s productivity problem, housing market stress, and the recent NSW budget. And finally, a straight-up conversation on tax reform, the state of leadership in this country, and Australia’s financial future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#194 Trump, Iran & Israel: Ceasefire or are we in WW3? Military Strategist on what happens next
In this episode recorded today, I speak with military strategist Major General Mick Ryan. After 35 years in the Australian Army, including deployments to East Timor, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and service on the U.S. Joint Staff, Mick now advises companies across Australia, the UK, and the U.S. He breaks down the recent Iran-Israel confrontation and the US-brokered ceasefire, unpacking the complex geopolitical dynamics, technological warfare, and strategic calculations behind the scenes. Is this a genuine step toward peace — or just a temporary pause in a much larger conflict? We dive deep into the military maneuvers, intelligence tactics, and what it all means for the future of global security.
