JuVan Langford | ENTER INTO THE INTIMACY : Words With Oz Podcast - Episode 100
ENTER INTO THE INTIMACY This week The Words With Oz Podcast welcomes JuVan Langford, co-founder of ManifestAus and TheMenTour. We asked JuVan to join us on the show because of the meaningful and important conversation that he is having across the globe. JuVan's specific question was: "Masculinity and masculine traits, good or bad, have been and continue to be celebrated and rewarded. It seems that in pursuit of what is deemed to be a ‘man’, many men are suffering, falling short and worse, being labelled ‘toxic’. What can we do to find and portray the positivity of masculinity?" JuVan and I spoke about his reasons for desired change, the deep theories he purports and what made him take the leap to move to Australia and drive this incredible movement. www: manifestaus.com IG: @JuVanLangford, @manifestaus Show Notes. 00.00 : 02.02 - Introduction and Advert 02.03 : 02.58 - WWO Intro 02.59 : 07.10 – Pack Up and Make the Shift. 07.11 : 12.29 – my leadership 12.30 : 20.50 – it’s a necessary delusion 20.51 : 32.59 – We, are not OK. 33.00 : 41.44 – Listen.

Pippa Hallas | THE RISKS THAT EDUCATE : Words With Oz Podcast - Episode 99
THE RISKS THAT EDUCATE This week The Words With Oz Podcast welcomes the boldly ambitious Pippa Hallas. Pippa is the CEO of Elle Bache; and most recently has become an inspiring author with the book Bold Moves, a tribute to Australia’s fiercest women. We sought Pippa to come on the show because of the incredible generational growth of Elle Bache and her unique experience in growing her own leadership style in line with such strong family values. Pippa’s specific question was: “Many of us are content with letting the world change us, going with the flow of what may come…especially in situations where the results that have come before always worked so well. What power can be found in making the choice to act and change?” Pippa and I spoke about the benefits and the hinderances of family business, of generational values; how she envisages the future being to bring the humans to the fore of the brand; the importance of the individual… and plenty more.

NO SUCH THING AS BASICS Zach Vickers joins the Words With Oz Podcast this week. A two(+) decade pursuit of pugilism has lead Zach to not only be a great trainer, but to also be an incredibly strategic thinker – it is for this reason that we asked Zach on the show. Zach’ training style and boxing prowess has attracted athletes from a broad number of sports and positions to train with him at the iconic North Bondi, and his new venture sees him and his business partner opening Undercard in Sydney’s East. Zach’s specific question was: "In the pursuit of excellence, love and happiness, whether it is business, family, boxing or health, what are some of the key elements that help you perfect your craft?" We spoke about family, mental real estate, prioritising time, the eternal pursuit of betterment and all the great subjects. Enjoy the show.

Penny Locaso | OUR MAGICAL HUMAN EXPERIMENT : Words With Oz Podcast - Episode 85
OUR MAGICAL HUMAN EXPERIMENT This week we welcome to the Words With Oz Podcast Miss Penny Locaso. This conversation is close to one of the best we’ve had on this podcast. From business ideas and scaling, to education, through to happiness and anxiety, voted one of the most influential females in Australia, Penny has the ideas, experience and the determination to cover them all. We asked Penny on the show because of the interest and traction she is having in the area of entrepreneurship and intentional change. An advocate for fear(less)ness she practices what she preaches and is on track to teach 10 million people, by 2025, how to intentionally adapt in order to future proof happiness. Penny’s specific question was “Rarely would the uninitiated associate fear with happiness. How do you use its antonym to show the world that intentional change is the future of our well-being, progress and inevitably… happiness?” We speak about true human connection, the untapped resource of innovation, Penny’s trigger moment of change and much more inspirational content. Our Words With Oz Podcast community will come alive from this episode. Enjoy the show.

Joseph Mencel | FAIL LEARN RESET REPEAT : Words With Oz Podcast - Episode 79
FAIL. LEARN. RESET. REPEAT. We’re thrilled to bring back to the show this week Mr Joseph Mencel. For those of you that are long time listeners he needs little introduction. Business Owner, Real-Talk Influencer, Professional body-builder and long-time friend of Oz', Joe has plenty to offer and inspire all of us on. Recently Joe put up a post on Instagram and the caption read: “People often tell me that they want to start their own business. When I ask them why they are quick to list off all of the perceived benefits; more time with friends and family, financial freedom, flexibility with working hours, being your own boss... To be honest, I think they have been misled. In the 13 years that I’ve been running MassiveJoes I’ve learned more about business, people and myself than I would have ever imagined. And yeah, there have been some incredible highs. But the truth is, most of the time, it's been tough. It's been incredibly tough. It's consumed every ounce of my mental & emotional energy for over a decade. I’ve worked every single day since day 1. Time off? What time off? I've lost friends - in fact, I now don’t have any friends who aren’t work related. I've given up time with family that I will never get back. The personal financial freedom I’ve experienced pales in comparison to the financial pressures of funding an ever growing empire. I’ve seen far more frequently the worst, rather than the best, in people. I've been let down by those who I've trusted time & time again. I've been so consumed by stress that I’ve literally felt physically sick. I’ve been continuously criticized by people close to me for not having balance, been told my priorities are way out of whack, and that I’m wasting my life. And I've seriously considered throwing the towel in on multiple occasions. But you know why I continue to push forward? It’s certainly not because of those perceived benefits that most people are quick to list when they think of starting their own business. They simply do not exist. It’s because I'm obsessed. I love this. Call me crazy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. And that’s the point. If you want to run your own business the primary reason for doing so should be because you are so passionate about what you are doing that it becomes an overwhelming obsession. I’m not saying this to discourage you from starting your own business. I’m saying that the general perception is worlds apart from the reality. The reality is, you have to be obsessed. If you are, go for it. If you’re not, forget about it.” This is why I asked him on the show. We cover everything from failures in life, love and business… to how to recover quickly from failure… to motivation… to goal setting… and we answered a bunch of questions sent to us from you guys & girls via Instagram. I love putting this show together. It has a lot of deep and informative conversation that we can all learn a lot from.

JUST START. The Words With Oz Podcast welcomes to the show Mr Adam Trippe-Smith this week. Business Owner, Industry expert and serial entrepreneur, Adam thoughts and advice will inspire us all to begin, to find a way, to keep working. From fitness to family as well as business ownership, this conversation absolutely covers it all. I asked Adam on the show because of a passing conversation when his abilities and experience was only outshone by his humility... all traits I love to share with you all. Adam's specific question was: "You’re a talented entrepreneur with many lessons learned and skills honed that can only be done over time, under tutelage, and with failures under your belt. Was your knack to find and create business opportunity always present? Was it a niggle you eventually gave in to? Or did your time in corporate open your eyes to the benefits of being boss?" We spoke about his origins in accountancy, the job in the UK that changed his views and the decision to take a gamble that changed it all. Enjoy the show.

Myles Bush : Words With Oz Podcast - Episode 77
HUMBLE ARROGANCE Myles Bush, CEO of PH Dubai. Another conversation between two old friends, the Words With Oz Podcast is thrilled to bring you this intimate, familiar, unfiltered conversation between Myles and Oz. The two discussed what drew them to the beginnings of the Dubai real estate market and particularly, what differentiated Myles from so many others who didn’t make it through the turmoil of the down times; his beliefs on performance and an unfettered desire to be nothing but the best. Myles’ specific essay question was: “It takes a certain arrogance to succeed in a business that so many fail.

Dr David Lloyd : Words With Oz Podcast - Episode 76
TEACHING INNOVATION David Lloyd, Vice Chancellor of the University of South Australia joins us this week on the Words With Oz Podcast. An Ireland native, he has made Adelaide his home for a good part of the last decade. With a background in Applied Chemistry and Medicinal Organic Chemistry, as well as being the lead for Research & Innovation on the Board of Universities Australia, David is an academic and an innovator, and his thoughts on education and the necessary interdisciplinary nature of degrees in the future of tertiary education is both enlightening and inspiring. David’s specific question was: ““It is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives, but the species that survives is the one that is best able to adapt an adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself.” In an age where what we are taught today is likely obsolete tomorrow, what importance do you place on an institution that is ‘flexible enough to augment with their learnings along the way’, and how do you instil it in a manner so that those you educate learn not just from what their university tells them but also, how their university acts?” David opens up about the path that led him being VC at Uni SA, his time on the South Australian Economic Development Board, what he agrees with and disagrees with when it comes to tertiary education, as well as plenty of practical advice for those of us looking to innovate and inspire.

Scott Bidmead : Words With Oz Podcast - Episode 75
PRACTICAL POSITIVITY This week we are joined on the show by presenter, journalist, entrepreneur and positive influencer Scott Bidmead. Scott’s career has taken many turns and we asked him on the show because of his most recent venture down the path of positive psychology; particularly his perspective of positive business, both in function and form. Scott’s specific question was: “What is your definition of ‘positive businesses’ and how will the future of both business and employment be influenced by them?” We dove into discussions of his origins in business; the importance of internship; the value of free-work; as well as the inherent negativity in being positive.

CREATE FOR OTHER PEOPLE The Words With Oz Podcast welcomes David Freeman to the show this week. David is the founder & CEO of H2CoCo. Incredibly passionate about health and specifically interested in the world of coconuts, the combination of the two provides David with a platform to make the most of his entrepreneurial flare. I asked David on the show because of his unique view of the FMCG industry being that he was first to market with his Coconut water brand. He has an adventurous spirit and had always been around business, indeed this was not his first innovative venture, but he has clearly found a calling in this space. David’s specific question was: “Tell me about the attributes of an entrepreneur; and the equality of their attraction to business opportunity and life adventure.” We spoke about trusting yourself, the development of his entrepreneurial abilities, changing peoples’ thinking and much more.
