It was episode 100, when Rooster Radio co-host James Begley unpacked what was the hardest year of his life, in raw detail. A number of our listeners were a bit stunned - it seems not many people understand the financial and personal impact that running a startup can have. After posting the episode, there were more than a few phone calls from concerned mates asking if Begs was holding up ok. (But there are many gold nuggets on business and resilience in that episode, so make sure you wind back to episode 100 if you haven't already - here's the link.) Now, a year later, a lot has happened since that fateful episode. The rollercoaster has continued, but this time with more amazing successes and achievements. James' startup PickStar got funded, launched new tech, grew significantly and the future looks bright .. and yet, of course, 'the unknown' always remains. So in this episode, Andrew put Begs under the microscope ... enjoy the insights and reflections.

He is the founder of Hub Australia, the country's largest co-working community with spaces in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. But first, you may be wondering what co-working actually is. Typically, it's where independent workers come together at shared workspaces, renting desks or offices under flexible membership arrangements, creating communities of entrepreneurs, freelancers and startups that not only share facilities but also ideas and knowledge. Coworking has gone from niche to mainstream in recent years, there are now numerous spaces in most cities throughout the world, which have sprung up in parallel with our shift in work culture.  Brad talks about his story as well as the power of coworking, coworker culture, collaboration benefits, work trends and much more.  Find out more about Hub Australia - https://www.hubaustralia.com/ Rooster Radio is hosted by Andrew Montesi and James Begley - visit http://roosterradio.biz Connect with Rooster Radio - sign up to our mailing list at http://roosterradio.biz and join our Facebook community at http://facebook.com/roosterradioHQ For podcasting strategy, production and commercial services, visit Apiro Media http://apiropodcasts.com For other content and marketing services, visit Apiro Consulting http://apiroconsulting.com (Andrew Montesi).

He took 259 test match wickets, and who could forget the double century he made against Bangladesh in 2006. If not for injuries, his record could've been even better. He's now a highly respected cricket coach, and led the Adelaide Strikers to victory in the 2018 Big Bash League. In recent years, he's become a vegan. He explains the ethical and health reasons, but reveals the motivation behind the lifestyle change - the sudden and tragic loss of his father, Neil, who suffered a heart attack while helping Jason move house. Attempts to revive his Dad were unsuccessful, and the aftermath led Jason to reflect on all aspects of his own life. Jason also talks about other defining moments, including the grade cricket banter that ended up inspiring his path to Test cricket, his partnership with champion Glenn McGrath, overcoming adversity, coaching insights, family life, his indigenous heritage and much more.

We talk about the opportunities and threats that the gig economy brings .. for workers, companies and even governments.

Foodies would eagerly await the next Burger Theory tweet to find out the truck's next location. The line ups were notoriously huge. Rob and Dan then moved into bricks and mortar, with three well known restaurants and an enviable brand. An expansion into China didn't work out but business still seemed to be good. Then we heard that Burger Theory had completely overhauled their menu ... no more beef, no chicken and no bacon. Just a kangaroo meat pattie. Wait ... what? We then found out why. The price of beef was going through the roof and unsustainable for the business and environment. So, true to their values of 'thoughtful fast food', Burger Theory came up with a patty blend of 80% kangaroo meat, 20% beef fat and 100% taste. Cue the outrage. Animal advocates, beef loving bogans ... Rob and Dan didn't see the criticism coming. And it has been brutal on social media. The guys tell us the gutsy move to Kangaroo is a risk for their brand and business. But it will be worth it. Rob and Dan talk through the decision making process, the environmental and economic case, managing the fall out, changing culture, and how they became "pioneers by default".

Then he decided to drop everything and move to Chiang Mai, Thailand .. even though he'd never even travelled to Asia before! We sat down with Kevin for a really interesting case study on how to go from a fairly typical suburban life to 'digital nomad' in a matter of months. Even though the term is a little cliche, 'digital nomads' are basically people who leverage technology to work when and wherever they want - and it's become a big lifestyle trend. Step by step, Kevin tells us how he did it. The practical side - research, planning and logistics; and of course the business - how he's earning an amazing income from affiliate marketing and 'flipping' websites. Kevin shares the tips and traps. It's not all sipping cocktails by the beach. Kevin talks about lifestyle fantasy versus reality, and personal lessons learned from the adventure so far.

Looking back on 2017, and 100 episodes of this podcast, the conversation got personal and cathartic, and we did question whether we'd better off keeping some content out of the public forum. But in the end, true to Rooster Radio values, we've published the chat in full, because we believe the stories shared will bring you value. James Begley, co-host of Rooster Radio and CEO of PickStar, was forced to "surrender to the unknown" in 2017. The year began with big promises and detailed plans for PickStar, before a set of uncontrollable circumstances threw everything up in the air. As the company founder, James personally put everything on the line to keep the future of the business secure. It was frustrating, exhilarating, demoralising ... but from one year he has come away with a lifetime of learnings, and enormous personal and business growth. At the transition point of the year, James and Andrew also reflect on their vision, values and goals (if any!). Then, having reached "the ton" on Rooster Radio, we look back at some of our favourite episodes and the amazing insights that have stuck with us from our favourite interview guests.

As the company founder, James personally put everything on the line to keep the future of the business secure. It was frustrating, exhilarating, demoralising ... but from one year he has come away with a lifetime of learnings, and enormous personal and business growth. At the transition point of the year, James and Andrew also reflect on their vision, values and goals (if any!). Then, having reached "the ton" on Rooster Radio, we look back at some of our favourite episodes and the amazing insights that have stuck with us from our favourite interview guests.

As you know we talk to interesting people doing amazing things, and this couldn't be more true for our guest, Dr Elaine Stead. Elaine is Head of Venture Capital at Blue Sky Investments, which includes overseeing South Australia's $50 million VC fund. More broadly Blue Sky manages $3 billion worth of investments across infrastructure, real estate and private equity. A lot of people think of VCs as khaki wearing white men with a God-like ability to 'giveth and taketh away', but Elaine breaks the VC mould with complete authenticity. She's unafraid to share not only her insights and opinions but also her vulnerabilities on social media and blogs. Elaine is open about her story, mental health challenges and taboo issues, which she admits may be confronting for investors and her stakeholders. But little by little, she's changing the culture of her industry. While the world of venture capital is seemingly driven by numbers, we have an in depth conversation about the humanistic side of founders, startups and business, and the human cost of entrepreneurship. We talk about the the inner workings and processes of a venture capital firm, why Elaine has pitched more than "300 times in the last year" and her brutal travel regime. We also chat about Elaine's pathway, before entering venture capital she was a stem-cell biologist and also a startup founder. Enjoy our fascinating chat with Dr Elaine Stead.

He won 23 medals throughout his Paralympic career including 13 gold, remarkably from just three Games. He also has a long list of world records to his name. Born with a congenital amputation at his lower left arm, Matt never saw any limitations. He played multiple sports and took up swimming in his backyard pool. That evolved into daily 4am training sessions, before making his Paralympic debut in 2004 as the youngest competitor at just 15 years old. Despite living with a disability, Matt was never out to prove anyone wrong. He simply wanted swim fast, win and inspire others. Hard work, dedication and commitment, values passed on by his parents, carry far beyond the pool and into his next career - politics. Preselected by the South Australian Liberal Party ahead of the state election in March 2018, Matt is using his wealth of experience, knowledge and influence to continue making a difference. We talk about Matt's career transition along with his Paralympic story, his pathway, values and much more.

It started with Gemtree Wines, the Buttery family business of which Andrew was managing director. Business was good, but upon meeting a Chinese investor, things took a dramatic turn. It took three years for Andrew to facilitate the relationship and then a partnership in China, but it paid off for the company, big time. Gemtree was growing at a staggering rate and was the export poster child for the South Australian government. Until the Chinese partner's business began to crumble. Andrew then packed his bags and moved to China, on a mission to save both the partner's company, and his own. Andrew shares his amazing story, with stacks insights and lessons learned about doing business in China, along with the personal toll - he ended up leaving the family business, completely burnt out. Andrew is now rejuvenated and working with Organic and Raw, a beverage company growing at a rapid rate on the back of its Mojo Kombucha drink, which is another great story in its own right.

We tackle the topic of quantum computing with Michael Brett, CEO of Q xBranch, a company based in Adelaide and the US, developing tools and applications powered by quantum computing. Michael says "Quantum computing is the biggest change in computing since computing" and it's set to change the world. It's being embraced by aerospace, defence and finance industries, particularly when it comes to complex data problems, and will impact our everyday lives. Michael explains how this will happen, the real world benefits, and the global effort required to bring quantum computing to the fore.

For Greg, the journey started with his family bookstore which built a cult following in the Adelaide CBD. His in-store events took a life of their own, and were the genesis of what would become the Adelaide Festival of Ideas, founded by Greg. He then applied for the state's most senior Arts gig, CEO of Arts SA, and to his surprise got the job. It was a steep learning curve, but Greg quickly found success. Through this role, and other influential positions within the public sector, Greg increased investment in the arts and also oversaw a number of cultural and social innovations. Greg is particularly unique in that he has somehow found a way to make art, entrepreneurship and government work together. He reveals why, and shares really important insights about how to cut through red tape and get things done in and with the public sector. He also put the arts community on notice about the reality of the future and funding of the arts, as well as leadership, his story and much more.

And on this day, we decided to put the microphone in front of a couple of them. Early Rooster Radio listeners will remember Josh Baker from RRE2, our first interview which is still one of our most popular, despite our cringeworthy production (please don't go back and listen to it!). And he was overdue for a follow up interview. Josh is Adelaide's most well known hospitality entrepreneur, who has changed the city through his venues and small bars, including Clever Little Tailor, Pink Moon Saloon, Whistle and Flute among others, along with a couple of new and ambitious venues that are opening soon. Josh talks about his personal and professional evolution since our last interview, international plans and much more. Then, we kept the mics on as Josh's mentor, John Savva from Leedwell Property, strolled into the office. John has had amazing success with his company that provides property services across retail, industrial and commercial. Josh and John talk about the impact of their relationship, the art of the deal, and many other business and property insights. Crack a can and enjoy this impromptu chat with two people who are absolutely excelling in their fields. Rooster Radio is hosted by Andrew Montesi and James Begley.

As GPs themselves, Troye and Sebastian built GenWise to solve their own problems around practice management in the aged care sector. Now the platform is being embraced by doctors and patients Australia wide. GenWise was recently crowned Australian Business of the Year at the prestigious Telstra Business Awards. GenWise is a virtual practice with no bricks and mortar clinic, boosting efficiencies and lowering costs with its innovative "practice in your pocket". Troye and Sebastian talk about the future of health and improving the disconnect between patients and the health system.

Not much, a lot of South Australians would confess. Some others would say "he's negative". Steven says his image is influenced by a daily media cycle where the most he can often hope for is a few seconds to criticise the State Government. This, he says, is the frustrating "curse of the Opposition." During our interview at Parliament House, Steven is anything but negative. He's relaxed, engaging and jovial. Maybe because the 2018 election draws closer, where he'll get another chance to break a 16-year run of Labor governance. This was expected to happen in 2014, but Steven admits that he and his party blew it. He talks about the aftermath, keeping the team together, learning from mistakes and his personal evolution as a leader. Steven still draws on his much talked about background in business, structuring goals and KPIs like most company directors. He is mentored by former Prime Minister John Howard, and still takes a call from his Dad every day .. who remains a big influence on his life. We also talk about the challenge of articulating his vision, the personal toll of politics and try to reveal a little more of the real Steven Marshall.

This, he says, is the frustrating "curse of the Opposition." During our interview at Parliament House, Steven is anything but negative. He's relaxed, engaging and jovial. Maybe because the 2018 election draws closer, where he'll get another chance to break a 16-year run of Labor governance. This was expected to happen in 2014, but Steven admits that he and his party blew it. He talks about the aftermath, keeping the team together, learning from mistakes and his personal evolution as a leader. Steven still draws on his much talked about background in business, structuring goals and KPIs like most company directors. He is mentored by former Prime Minister John Howard, and still takes a call from his Dad every day .. who remains a big influence on his life. We also talk about the challenge of articulating his vision, the personal toll of politics and try to reveal a little more of the real Steven Marshall.

Unfortunately, Ali didn't hit the red button and put us live to air. But we did record an interesting and insightful chat with one of South Australia's top media personalities. Now occupying the premium breakfast slot on ABC Radio, Ali in fact first made a name for herself on commercial radio. It's a career that began at Mix 102.3 with a Jerry Maguire style 'mission statement', which paved the way for her to jag a spot on the breakfast team, despite having no on-air experience. And following a steep learning curve, that show became number one in South Australia.  Ali and her team then controversially quit Mix and crossed the road to join Triple M. The success continued. BUT the world of commercial radio is cut throat and Ali talks about the day she was eventually given her marching orders. Ali shares her story, along with how she deals with criticism and the wellbeing challenges of breakfast radio, the keys to creating compelling content, lessons from growing up with a brother who has an intellectual disability and much more. Rooster Radio is hosted by Andrew Montesi and James Begley. We talk to interesting people doing amazing things.

He has photographed the last four US Presidents and their families, as well as countless celebrities including Oprah, Kanye West, Bono, Jay-Z, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Leonardo Dicaprio and so many more. Growing up in Adelaide, Ben couldn't have dreamed of being in such a position. However, having spent a lot of time following his Dad through the Outback, he knew that an office job wasn't for him. Eventually he lobbed into New York without much photography experience but plenty of Aussie attitude, which won over legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz. Ben talks about what he learned from Annie and other big name photographers, his mentors, who were among the most influential people in the celebrity scene. Ben says that ultimately it is all about people, and building rapport, much more than any technical prowess with a camera. He also shares what he's learned about the world's most powerful people, getting the job done under the highest levels of pressure (including a six minute shoot with Obama) and, of course, the key elements of an amazing portrait .. and much more.

The Chief Justice breaks down many misconceptions about Judges, the Justice System and the Law. He's personable, approachable, progressive and tech savvy. He communicates even the most complex legal issues in plain english. It all forms part of his mission to make justice inclusive and accessible to all. Such values were instilled on the family farm in Port Lincoln, where the Chief Justice was one of ten children to Greek migrants. His mother had been involved in the Communist Party in Greece, but her influence was around social values more than politics. The Chief Justice talks about his path into law, and what he learned in the early years of practice from some of the most influential people in the profession. The Chief Justice also shares his views and insights across a range of issues, including the relationship and tension that exists between government and the courts, PR for the justice system, innovating justice, the training and application process for Judges, breaking down a Judge's decision making process .. and much more.

Joshua Burchell. After hearing Josh's business story, he had to get him onto Rooster Radio. At 17, Josh started his first business from his bedroom with little more than 1000 pounds and the name of a Chinese manufacturer, which was given to him by a friend. This was in the early 2000s before the online shopping boom. After successfully importing and selling one product, Josh reinvested, moving more and more products online. In the blink of an eye he was generating tens of thousands of pounds of revenue each month. Business then went to ANOTHER level when he started buying up cheap stock from a major electrical retailer and selling it at scale via Amazon, which helped push annual revenue beyond a million pounds. As the online market changed, so did Josh's strategy. Taking what he'd learned about online retail and Amazon, he bought up businesses without an online presence, gave them an online sales funnel, and flipped them at a higher price. His companies covered everything from car headlights to candles. Josh talks about his story, what he's learned about online retail and sales, moving fast and cashing in on opportunities, how Amazon will impact Australia and much more.

The heart says pursue your business dreams, the head says stick to your 9 to 5 and provide. But does it have to be one or the other? What if there was a way to transition into your own business life without having to fall off a cliff? If it's possible, how the hell do you make it work? James and Andrew talk about the issues, opening up about aspects of their own journeys and challenges while also sharing lessons learned along the way.

Many of his footy mates didn't, with tragic results. Anthony says the come down from the highs of a sports star life can be hard. Many athletes struggle to find a new purpose, and structure, for their new life. It was different for 'Mini' who was raised by hard working Italian parents who made him get a trade in the early years of his NRL career. He maintained a life of balance, which extended beyond his world of sport. Anthony went on to captain the Roosters and holds the record for most games and most tries at the club. He's decorated as they come - a NSW State of Origin representative, Australia and Italy representative, and winner of the Golden Boot Award for International Player of the Year in 2005. Anthony's career coincided with a big shift in the commercialisation of sport. He talks about the evolution from his first contract worth $10,000 and drinking plenty of beer after every match, to the professional game it is today. Anthony also shares lessons learned from his humble upbringing, how he built a broad network and interests outside of rugby league and the challenge of growing the game nationally. Mini was in Adelaide to promote the Roosters' clash with the Storm at Adelaide Oval on June 24, and was able to squeeze in our interview between promotional duties.

Crispian is co-owner of Clever Little Tailor, one of Adelaide's top bars which regularly gains recognition in the national press and is sought after by local punters like myself, along with slightly bigger names, such as Mick Jagger. He's also co-owner of the iconic Pink Moon Saloon, a bar that has cleaned up national and international awards, including Gourmet Traveller Bar of the Year .. AND .. he's set to open the ambitious Port Admiral Hotel, a pub that had been derelict for many years in Port Adelaide. For Crispian, this life is about much more than business, it is deeply personal. His passion for hospitality started in his home town of Loxton, is tied to his love for people and local footy culture, and evolved as he built a career in fine dining locally and internationally. It was one conversation with his mate, Josh Baker, that changed everything. Tune in and enjoy the dulcet tones of Crispian Fielke. Rooster Radio is hosted by Andrew Montesi and James Begley.

David is an internationally qualified Urban Designer, registered Architect, accredited Planner. He is the Director of City Collective, a design studio that works across Australia and the world. He was the first South Australian to be awarded a prestigious scholarship at the University of California, Berkeley, in their intensive Masters of Urban Design program.  David shares his deep insights into the impact that major sporting events can have on cities - winning an Olympic and Commonwealth Games bid can make or break a city, depending on the organisers' approach to urban planning. We talk about 'Smart Cities', an aspirational phrase talked about by many governments and planners but not widely understood. David reveals what we can learn from the high tech cities that have been reborn out of the US "rust belt", and the steps that can be taken to address current critical issues in Australia, such as housing affordability.

Finn was an engineer earning good money in a job with the CSIRO that most people would aspire to. But he hated it. The bureaucracy was so frustrating that it was impacting all aspects of his life. On the back of some passive income from e-book sales, and some inspiration from Tim Ferriss' iconic book the Four Hour Work Week, he quit his full-time job. And that wasn't all. With two kids and another on the way, he sold the family home and began a journey from campsite to caravan park down the east coast of Australia, while running his e-book business from his laptop. But it wasn't e-books that would take Finn to the next level. With a passion for renewable energy and a booming market for solar, he started a website called Solar Quotes, a lead generation business that enables people to get three quotes from reputable, local Solar installers. Around 300,000 people have used the site to get quotes. Finn talks about his amazing growth and content strategies, as well as the tough stuff, which included being banished from Google search results for a year. Finn has strong opinions about how to build a business and has grave concerns about the model for building startups, which largely relies on VC money (we should also point out that Finn hasn't taken a cent of investment while building Solar Quotes). There's a heap of gold here, especially for people looking to forge their own path in business and life.

Professor David performs "everyday miracles" for people who would otherwise be facing conditions that are limiting, debilitating and often life-threatening - such as distortion of the face and skull, cleft lip and palate deformities, facial growth anomalies as well as tumours and other facial issues that require reconstructive surgery. The acclaimed humanitarian has been awarded a Companion of the Order of Australia, the ANZAC Peace Award and South Australian of the Decade. Professor David describes himself as an average student who was talked into pursuing a medical career, but says his turning point came while training under inspirational doctors in Paris. He returned to Adelaide to establish the Australian Craniofacial Unit in 1975, and it remains the world's top medical centre in its field, pioneered a specialised, multidisciplinary approach to care in a care process that involves many surgeries over many years for most patients.

He started directing classmates as an 8-year old in New Zealand and hasn't stopped since. His path has included director roles at the State Theatre Company of South Australia, Melbourne Theatre Company and Opera Australia, and says his rise has been due to a mix of good luck and hard work.

It all started with a seachange. The couple visited Kangaroo Island while on honeymoon, and decided it was the perfect place to set up their own distillery, on a hunch that gin was about to make a comeback. They weren't wrong. With a little help from Jon's brother, Bill, known as the godfather of whisky in Tasmania, KI Spirits is now producing the most sought after gin. Their cellar door is a tourist destination on the Island, business is booming and the gin market is growing. Jon and Sarah share their story, which has great successes and many challenges - including export tax, and the logistics of working on the island. We also get a great little lesson on the history of gin, and the distilling process.

This interview is syndicated with Off-Field, a podcast that focuses on the world of sport outside of the arena, and also hosted by Rooster Radio's Andrew Montesi and James Begley. In Part 1 (iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/ep-72-geelong-coach-chris-scott-part-1-volatile-world/id1048369433?i=1000382346291&mt=2 SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/rooster-radio/ep-72-geelong-coach-chris-scott-part-1-the-volatile-world-of-an-afl-coach), Chris talked in detail about the volatile world of coaching and his rapid rise to the top. If you missed it, make sure you go back and have a listen. Now in Part 2, Chris goes into the detail of high performance from the perspective of overseeing an elite team, but also on a personally. Chris is a Dad, and each of his fellow coaches at Geelong have three or more kids, so despite holding one of the most demanding jobs, Chris strives for balance. Not just for himself, but those around him. He's obsessed with high performance, but tries not to be blinded by it - Chris admits this is something he's had to get better at. He believes that going too far can lead to poor decision making and exhausted, unhappy teams. Chris is a private person and admits to struggling with the public nature of his job. He says this is one of the big challenges facing young sports stars who are putting themselves on the market. He also talks about his influences including family, other leaders, books and podcasts. Most of which, interestingly, sit outside of football. There's so many insights here with great detail, stories and examples generously shared by Chris Scott. It's rare to hear from AFL coaches in such a personal setting, in a long-form format, and we hope to encourage more of it through the Off-Field podcast.

Geelong premiership coach Chris Scott joins us for an in-depth, two -hour discussion and we're bringing it to you, in full, over two episodes. This interview is syndicated with Off-Field (http://off-field.co), a podcast that focuses on the world of sport outside of the arena, and also hosted by Rooster Radio's Andrew Montesi and James Begley. This is not just a typical footy chat. If you lead a team, have an interest in high performance and want to know how the best in the business operate, you'll get a lot out of this interview. The Brisbane Lions dual premiership player says he didn't want to be a coach. After finishing his playing career, Chris took an offer to be an assistant at Fremantle because he thought it might be his one and only chance to give coaching a shot, and fell in love with the job almost instantly. Less than three years later, at just 34 years old, he was being shortlisted for senior coach opportunities but wasn't even sure he wanted the top job, as late as two weeks before accepting the role at the Cats. In Chris' own words, he was unbelievably unprepared. You can't blame him for not rushing into the gig. There wouldn't be many jobs with higher scrutiny and less stability than that of an AFL senior coach. This hit home for Chris when his great mate, Brenton Sanderson, was sacked by the Crows. Chris is philosophical about his volatile world however the human impact of the position on those around him, particularly his young daughter, weighs heavy. He also talks about the evolution of coaching, gives a rare insight into performance reviews, his workflow and much more. When you're finished this episode, remember to listen to part two (iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/ep-73-geelong-coach-chris-scott-part-2-razor-edge-high/id1048369433?i=1000382346292&mt=2 SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/rooster-radio/ep-72-geelong-coach-chris-scott-part-1-the-volatile-world-of-an-afl-coach), where we talk about the keys to high performance and leadership, and focus in on Chris' personal learnings, habits and influences.

Selling sugary treats was so profitable it helped him pay his way through university. But it was Nidal's move into the restaurant game that became a baptism of fire. The 22 year old was struggling to manage staff, trying to do it all and then found himself in hospital due to stress. At that point he was sent overseas by his parents to recalibrate. Nidal came back with a renewed focus and drive, throwing himself into property sales, paying off his restaurant debts and quickly becoming the most successful salesman at his company nationally. It could've been easy to enjoy the fruits of sales but the passion for business was still there. He quit and started Silvertail Property Group from his kitchen table, with zero clients and a simple plan to help property investors with their projects from start to finish. Within a couple of years Silvertail had helped hundreds of clients and had grown to become a national, award winning company.

Founder Joseph Mencel, 31, has grown the company into one of Australia's largest supplement retailers, with a booming web business, eight stores across Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne, another one opening soon in Sydney, and a separate apparel company that's growing globally. Joe explains how he has built brand loyalty that most companies can only dream of. Massive Joes has a highly engaged social media community of one million users, and gyms are filled with people proudly wearing the Team Massive Joes brand. Joe benefits from being a first mover. He started importing supplements over a decade ago when few products were available locally, and he profited from launching the first supplement eBay store before building the first version of http://massivejoes.com. Amazingly, the company remained a side project for a number of years while Joe completed mechanical engineering and law degrees. After a stint in the Santos legal department, he decided to throw himself into Massive Joes full time.

For some business owners this is something to fear while for others, like Jodi Walton and Dani Bieg, it is something to embrace. Jodi and Dani are cofounders of Harrison McMillan, recognised as Australia's Most Innovative Recruitment Agency by SEEK in 2016, and a great entrepreneurial story. They're changing the game through a new pay-as-you-go business model, and also through its own firm culture. At the Harrison McMillan office, digital detoxes, enforced lunch breaks and flexible working hours are standard. It sounds great in theory but is much more challenging in practice. Jodi and Dani explain the science behind it, how they measure the success of the initiatives and how they ensure peak performance for their clients. In fact, they've had over 120 clients nationally in under four years, so their approach is clearly being embraced as an alternative in the recruitment market. Recruitment is a tough gig, for candidates, employers and recruiters themselves. Jodi and Dani talk about how the industry is changing .. and also share important tips for job seekers who want to separate themselves from the pack in a competitive job market.

Geoff is a former EY Entrepreneur of the Year winner for the southern region and had 3 start-ups appear in the BRW Fast 100. His company, Kloud Solutions grew rapidly in five years and was ranked the fastest growing company in Australia in 2014, before being acquired by Telstra in early 2016 for north of 40 million dollars. This was Geoff's second sale. His first company, Strategic Data Management, was also picked up for a multi-million dollar sum .. and he explains the fundamentals of planning for a successful exit. He tried retirement for a few months but got bored. Geoff is currently co-founder of five startups, all focused on emerging fields in tech, and explains how he keeps on top of the growing companies. Not bad for a bloke who finished high school having never touched a computer. Geoff comes from humble beginnings, he's one of six kids, and his siblings include an orthopaedic surgeon, navy pilot and the general manager of Uber Aus/NZ. Geoff shares insights into his high performing family, approaches to education and learning, risk and keeping the fire in the belly.

Geoff started coding software at around eight years old, and by the age of 25 he had founded and sold three companies while graduating top of his university with two bachelors degrees. Geoff has also helped a number of other business owners grow and sell their companies. There are few people in the world with Geoff's rare ability to expertly understand and integrate technology, marketing, psychology and business strategy. He finds value and opportunity because most people falsely believe that the rules of the game of business can't be changed. He is now a "gun for hire", specialising in startups and also turning traditional companies into scaleable and systemised operations. He once kept his extensive knowledge to himself, but now has a passion for sharing all he has learned through consulting and training teams. Geoff looks at all things, including tech, business and human behaviour, with a data driven approach. With a brilliant mind comes many highs but also lows. Geoff talks about struggling with a lack of purpose, and depression, after his selling his companies, and says mental health support for entrepreneurs is a huge unmet need. There is so much gold in this episode. We also talked about: - The recipe for going viral - Geoff's formula for business success - Learning hacks that helped Geoff juggle multiple businesses and two university degrees at one time - And so much more.

It is the country's largest independent brewing company, the world's largest producer of home-brew equipment, and rated the world's top family business. Coopers chairman, Glenn Cooper, shared the brewery's amazing story on Rooster Radio. Glenn is a fifth generation Cooper. The company was founded by Thomas Cooper in 1862, and has survived recessions, the Great Depression, World War 2 and other enormous challenges, including a hostile takeover attempt. Glenn talks about the pivotal moments for Coopers, and why its shareholders strongly oppose "selling out" despite the potential for a big pay day. Joining the family business wasn't initially on Glenn's career plan. He was told to choose another path, as the brewery would not survive let alone thrive. So he studied engineering and found success in his own right after starting a computing company. Glenn says that jobs for family members at the brewery are not automatic, they need to be earned after life experience has been gained in other fields. After joining the company in 1990 and taking on the sales and marketing portfolio, Glenn was credited for helping Coopers reach new levels of growth, including international.

It has become a media outlet for culture, entrepreneurship and creativity .. and a much needed voice for young people. Through this lens, Farrin has learned a lot about what makes authentic, thriving cities. But Farrin says independent media, and the wider media in general, faces enormous challenges, which we've also discussed in previous episodes. Broken business models have seen journalistic values compromised and the rise of sponsored content. It's also put more pressure on the media's relationship with politics, a relationship that Farrin says is "toxic". She's seen it from the perspective of a journalist, and also a political adviser.

It was a great night tasting quality craft brews and hanging out with Rooster Radio guests and listeners. If you didn't get an invite you must not be on our mailing list .. sign up at http://roosterradio.biz so you don't miss out on the next one. Tune in to our a short and sharp live interview with Swell's founder, Dan Wright. About Dan (in his words): Travelling North and South America following the surf on a budget meant that there were a lot of very long bus rides. It was during these breaks from the swell, that I began to think about the awesome craft beer industry in the Americas. Why wasn't there anything like this in Australia? So out came the journal, and over numerous 10 hour bus rides, the idea for Swell Brewing Co. developed. As soon as I returned to Australia, I started on my brewing career. Setting up a brewery in our back shed, I worked hard at perfecting my beers. I was a favourite guest at many of my mates houses as I would bring around my brews for feedback sessions. Three years of brewing from scratch, and I felt that my recipes were where I wanted them to be. I still use the shed brewery for all of my brewing trials.

It was a great night tasting quality craft brews and hanging out with Rooster Radio guests and listeners. If you didn't get an invite you must not be on our mailing list .. sign up at http://roosterradio.biz so you don't miss out on the next one. Tune in to our a short and sharp live interview with Swell's founder, Dan Wright. About Dan (in his words): Travelling North and South America following the surf on a budget meant that there were a lot of very long bus rides. It was during these breaks from the swell, that I began to think about the awesome craft beer industry in the Americas. Why wasn't there anything like this in Australia? So out came the journal, and over numerous 10 hour bus rides, the idea for Swell Brewing Co. developed. As soon as I returned to Australia, I started on my brewing career. Setting up a brewery in our back shed, I worked hard at perfecting my beers. I was a favourite guest at many of my mates houses as I would bring around my brews for feedback sessions.

With social media driving a news cycle at break neck speed, bite sized content and broken business models, risky investigations are less attractive to media companies. The question is - do we care? Graham still does. Current affairs television has been his world for the last 25 years, with Channel 9's A Current Affair, ABC's 730 Report and now Channel 7's director of news and current affairs in Adelaide. Graham says media plays a crucial role in holding powerful people and organisations to account, and can influence justice even when the Courts and Parliament can't. This was certainly the case for Henry Keogh, who was wrongly convicted for murder in a high profile case that played out in South Australia from 1995, until Keogh's release in early 2016. It is a remarkable and shocking story (references below for more information about the case). Graham was one of the few journalists who continued to ask questions, filing 60 stories over 15 years. When you threaten powerful people and their systems, resistance is bitter. As Graham raised questions about the Keogh case he was stunned at the attacks on his credibility coming from Parliament and other circles. We talk about this much more .. including the former school teacher's unusual pathway to journalism, and why the "tragic and absurd" world of current affairs television gets a bad wrap.

This is a day in the life of the renowned plastic surgeon and Medical Director of the Adult Burn Centre at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Dr Greenwood looks after 450 acute burns patients each year across South Australia, Northern Territory and parts of New South Wales and Victoria. He heads up Australia's only mobile burn response unit, and in the aftermath of the Bali bombings worked a 36 hour shift treating victims and saving lives. Working in a world of life and death, Dr Greenwood shares his learnings about the will to live, resilience and responding to trauma. Outside of surgery, Dr Greenwood is leading groundbreaking research and developing innovative new products that will soon achieve his goal to replace the skin graft .. it's fascinating, and includes the development of what we can only describe as a "skin factory". He's an englishman who was crowned an Australian of the Year, and a music lover with a dark sense of humour.

Luke was born in Papua New Guinea and cut his teeth in the kitchens of Barcelona, before taking on some of Australia's finest and most exclusive restaurants. The most exclusive of all was the Sanctuary at Byron Bay, one of the world's top rehabilitation facilities and programs. It was here that Luke learned about the link between food and the mind, and developing meals that heal the soul. His explanation of food psychology is fascinating. Luke has become somewhat of a kitchen counsellor. He has worked with struggling youth and helped them gain a sense of value and self-respect. It's particularly interesting when restaurant kitchens are known as stressful, intense and often brutal environments, and we don't often think about leadership and culture in this context.

Rich Karlgaard, entrepreneur-turned-publisher, columnist, author, television commentator, private investor and board director, reveals the industries that he believes are in the gun.

Rich offers a unique vantage point on the trends driving the business and investment climates. His insights will help you gain a greater understanding of the global marketplace. Rich is a past winner of Ernst & Young's "Entrepreneur of the Year Award," and understands firsthand the difficulties of navigating in today's business climate and the opportunities available to those who have the courage to reach out for them.

After an enormous build up, the Kookaburras crashed out in the quarter finals. As a leader, Mark has been dealing with the fall out - What went wrong? What would he change? What next? For Mark, Olympic failure is even more bitter because he's tasted ultimate success - winning gold in 2004. A junior team member at the time, Mark admits he was naive about it all - only now does he realise the significance of what was achieved. For a semi-professional sportsman, much more than a medal is on the line. If you don't succeed, your team doesn't get government funding. At $250 per week the Hockey player pay packet is already meagre and Mark talks about how he juggles cash flow, including Indian Premier League contracts, sponsorships and a coaching business. Mark is a true champion, not only a gold medallist but a World Player of the Year and world cup winner, but still a humble lad from Rockhampton.

We only have to look at the world around us, with Trump, Brexit and even the political uncertainty in Australia. The public is disengaged because politicians aren't listening. All that's left for the public is opinion, and opinion is ineffective and at times dangerous. Opinions swirl in the social media vortex leading to knee jerk reactions and a decision making process that is, at best, broken. In response, Emily, along with her friend Emma Lawson, started DemocracyCo, a company aiming to give all sectors of the community a voice in the key decisions affecting them. It is DemocracyCo's job to get involved in some of the most contentious community issues. Emily and Emma have facilitated Citizens' Juries to tackle reducing the numbers of unwanted dogs and cats, road safety for motorists and cyclists, and the high profile Nuclear Waste debate in South Australia (which we also talk about back in Ep 34), with the world's largest Citizens' Jury of 350 members. DemocracyCo's work is getting noticed globally. They're now working with the Singapore government, a country with different political and cultural values to Australia, and an interesting case study for the Adelaide company. Emily talks about the fascinating decision-making approach applied by DemocracyCo - it's a new way of decision making for issues large and small - and shares how we can apply these processes in business and our personal lives. Our chat also covers leadership, group dynamics, public engagement, politics, business and much more.

But does the attractiveness of a sales person really impact a consumer's buying decision? Do looks matter? The short answer is yes, and there's a science behind it, which is the key focus for Dr Bianca Price, who shares her fascinating insights on Rooster Radio. Bianca is a Lecturer in Foundation Studies at UniSA and holds a Ph.D. in Business. Her thesis and ongoing research explores the role of physical attractiveness for women in the staff customer interface ... and draws on elements of advertising theory, psychology, consumer behaviour, as well as general management and marketing theories. When Bianca applied to focus her PhD on attractiveness, which at the time was largely viewed as subjective, she was laughed at by many of her peers.

But does the attractiveness of a sales person really impact a consumer's buying decision? Do looks matter? The short answer is yes, and there's a science behind it, which is the key focus for Dr Bianca Price, who shares her fascinating insights on Rooster Radio. Bianca is a Lecturer in Foundation Studies at UniSA and holds a Ph.D. in Business.

And yet Asian art is yet to have much of an impact in our country. Joseph Mitchell, Director of OzAsia Festival, Australia's largest Asian culture event, says we lack diversity in this area and suggests that perhaps unknown prejudices see us favour European and American art. Europe and America have been our biggest influences in the last two centuries, but the Asian century is now upon us and understanding and appreciating art from the region could help us unlock the benefits. Joseph says art teaches us cultural lessons and breaks down important barriers that will help us foster the key relationships that will drive Australia's economic growth through Asian countries such as Indonesia, China, India and beyond. OzAsia Festival, on it's tenth anniversary, is big and ambitious. It features a host of world class acts across dance, theatre, film, visual arts and numerous free public events, including a nightly food market. It takes a detailed plan and a large, collaborative team to pull it off. Joseph is acutely aware of the fact that many festivals fail, and interestingly breaks down the risk profile for OzAsia and festivals in general. Personally, Joseph's pathway to art was unusual. He was an Olympic swimmer as a teenager, completed three university degrees and expected to pursue journalism before being struck by art. The OzAsia Festival is on in Adelaide from 17 September to October 2 2016. For more information visit http://www.ozasiafestival.com.au/ Rooster Radio is hosted by Andrew Montesi and James Begley.

Tammy is the founder of MyBudget, a personal budget management company that has served more than 50,000 clients with a turnover of $34 million. When you know how thousands of people use their money, including history and future plans, the possibilities are endless, and Tammy talks about her plans to use their incredibly powerful and unique data set to create the future of money management. Central to the growth strategy for the company, which is headquartered in Adelaide with offices across Australia, is global expansion. For the BRW "Young Rich Lister" (a title Tammy disputes, by the way), it's a long way from her modest upbringing in Adelaide's southern suburbs, where she lived with a brother who has an intellectual and developmental disability, and a Dad who instilled Tammy with the self-belief she has today. Tammy also talks about the early days of MyBudget where she would personally manage the process manually, visiting the bank branch to make payments for each client every day. We cover this and more in our interview, including great advice for dealing with sceptics, hiring and firing, marketing and money management. A big part of money management is weighing up the need for finance. That's where our episode sponsor, Funding Options, can help you. Whether you're looking for a better home loan, commercial finance, an investment loan, equipment, a car or even refinancing, Funding Options will do the hard work for you.

Working on the world's biggest movies, with the biggest names in Hollywood, sounds glamorous. Speaking at a live Engine Room event with Rooster Radio, Wayne reveals just how complex his business is. RSP's work is project based, which means revenue has rollercoaster-like peaks and troughs. As such, staffing is freelancer driven. In a couple of weeks, his team can grow from 50 to 200 staff from 30 different countries. Wayne shares how RSP maintains quality control and culture, and how he works with Hollywood and runs a global company from Adelaide. Ultimately, it comes down to systems and project management. Does that kill creativity? In Wayne's words: "That's crap", and he tells you why. Prior to the interview, Wayne showed event attendees some of their amazing work and we recommend you check out the Rising Sun Pictures website at http://rsp.com.au .. amazing.

Sleep, along with diet and exercise, is one of the three pillars of health. Sleep apnoea is as common as asthma and diabetes. And yet Dr Eckert and his team are amazed that sleep is not prioritised. In fact, in business a lack of sleep is often glorified. Danny says this is "crazy", and describes in detail the horrifying physical and mental impact. Sleep depravation impacts every organ, it has the affect of intoxication and can even shorten your life expectancy. Every part of life is impacted, from the bedroom to the boardroom. After listening to this, you'll be aiming for eight hours shut eye tonight. The life of a top scientist is not lab coats and test tubes. In his current role as principal research fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia, in Sydney, Danny travels the nation and the world talking about his team's research into sleep apnoea, raising awareness and raising funding. Danny's journey, which began in Adelaide in "the mud patch" with his cousin James (Rooster Radio's co-host), has had both highs and lows. He talks about the impact of losing of his mum, and how he found his way to the famed Harvard University in Boston. Professor Danny Eckert: The Associate Professor has been actively involved in human sleep and respiratory physiology research since 2001. In 2006, he completed his PhD at the University of Adelaide. After three years of postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School, he was promoted to Faculty as Assistant Professor. In late 2011 Danny returned to Australia to establish a comprehensive sleep and respiratory physiology research program at Neuroscience Research Australia. His team continues to advance knowledge into the causes of sleep apnoea and develop new treatments. He currently serves on the board of the Australasian Sleep Association, the peak profession body, and is Chair of the Research Committee. Neuroscience Research Australia https://www.neura.edu.au/.

No one, including Nick, could've imagined he'd be where he is today. Born to Greek/Macedonian farmers in rural New South Wales, who had no interest in art, a chance discovery at school sparked his artistic interests. He'd then spend hours on buses and trains just to get to the nearest gallery. Nick found it difficult to fit in at school. "I was a freak and a second class citizen," he says. But it didn't stop his growing love for art. In fact, he was inspired to become a school teacher, but it was a career which only lasted a few months. However, teaching is at the core of what Nick does today. He's passionate about helping people learn about art through "thinking, feeling and looking". It's part of Nick's commitment to smashing the "snobby" art stigma and throwing open the doors to children and the wider public, as well as art enthusiasts. This doesn't mean he shies away from controversy, in fact he embraces it as a way to challenge and stay at the cutting edge.

He's also an author, commentator, business man, student and father, who is known as the thoughtful, intelligent and articulate alternative to the cliche athlete. Because he's different, Ed has become known in the media as "the thinking man's cricketer". He bristles at the title. He says it has come about because journos are inherently lazy, and therefore nicknames stick. Ed talks about media misrepresentation, where former Test captain Ricky Ponting was also a victim. He was known as a "tough bastard", but Ed says he was really the "loveliest human being you'll ever meet". Ed has lived in a world of high performance which now helps him as the founder of Tripod Coffee.

We didn't prepare - for our diet, or to integrate our program with our interstate trip - and we paid the price. Remembering that our primary goals for this experiment are: - Establish healthy habits and routines - Be consistent (with training and healthy eating, irrespective of work, kids, messy schedules etc.) This short episode is from the gym floor after our second personal training session, reviewing the program and where we're at.

Each week or so we're going to record an episode updating our progress, and continue to update via the podcast and our blog. No BS - we're going to be real.

The big wave surfer knows that, even though everything in him wants to keep paddling, he must hold his position as the wave approaches. It's what he describes as the "Braveheart moment". If he gets the strategy right and manages to ride the wave, the terror still continues until he gets into the barrel and he knows he's going to make it out safely. That gives him a few seconds of elation. This is what Mark does for a living. He chases storms, surfs the huge waves, captures the content then distributes it to the media. And he's one of the best in the world at it. It's an uncommon career but Mark says it is all about overcoming fear, a battle that is no different to anyone else. Mark talks through his process for managing fear, which involves significant preparation before getting into the water. This was put to the test after a near death experience on a brutal break near Tasmania, where he almost drowned after being knocked unconscious on a reef. Mark shares how he overcame fear and the wave that almost killed him, with insights for overcoming fear in every day life. Mark has a sharp understanding of business, branding and content. He's sponsored by huge names including Red Bull and Land Rover, and when he's not working for these brands he's working on his own projects, and getting hands on with production. He also has an eye on the future, preparing for technology such as virtual reality to change the world of surf media. Rooster Radio caught up with Mark at Mumbrella's Sports Marketing Summit, who was also part of the Summit's Ask an Athlete panel (listen in full, episode 42).

We also want to get really practical about self-improvement and personal development. So we're launching some experiments, with James and Andrew as the guinea pigs, and we hope our listeners can learn from the failures and some of the wins too. Our first series focuses on health and fitness so we're calling it "The Biggest Rooster" (see what we did there ..). It doesn't matter what you do, your physical health impacts your performance in ALL areas of your life. And let's be honest, many of us don't look after ourselves as well as we should. We're not interested in boot camps, getting a Kardashian ass, or building up our biceps for the beach. While we do hope our physical numbers improve over the five weeks, our primary goals for this experiment are: - Establish healthy habits and routines - Be consistent (with training and healthy eating, irrespective of work, kids, messy schedules etc.) Leading personal trainer Jack Errington, Founder of Fit Factory, has put together a five week diet and training program tailored for the Roosters. Each week we're going to record an episode updating our progress, and continue to update via the podcast and our blog. No BS - we're going to be real. If we skip sessions, miss meals, drink too many beers etc. we'll be up front and share what we're learning along the way. Session 1: - Testing: Skin folds, beep test, pull ups, bench press. - Setting up the training program (view at roosterradio.biz). - Setting up the diet plan.

Donny was told that, as a woman, career progression was not an option. But rather than accept it, or sit back and complain about it, it seems that Donny was energised by it. Donny tells Rooster Radio that the knock backs and the rejections only made her more determined and resilient, until sheer will and new leadership forced the culture to change, and she was able to rapidly rise up the ranks. Fast forward to today, and Donny is using these experiences as the founder of Behind Closed Doors, an invitation only membership organisation designed to support women in business through the barriers that unfortunately, says Donny, still exist today. Donny is also a highly regarded Director, holding a high profile board position at the ABC, and numerous other board roles with both companies and not-for-profit organisations. Donny reveals what it takes to be a successful director, and also what leaders should be looking for in prospective board members. She also makes a pitch to join the board of her dream organisation (I hope you're listening, previous guest Rob Chapman, Chairman, Adelaide Football Club)! Donny's story includes overcoming adversity and tragedy on the road to success, and passion for sharing the stories and lessons learned along the way.

He's an owner and CEO of Pirate Life Brewing, an Adelaide craft beer startup that is winning fans all over Australia. Pirate Life has raised significant funding, expanded and acquired a distribution arm, and mostly importantly, they're selling lots of tinnies (beer in cans is back in vogue). But Mick tells Rooster Radio it is not all beer and skittles. There's the huge cost of equipment, cash flow management, thousands of tasting events and doing everything possible to get the Pirate Life name out there. But ultimately the family company, run by Mick, his son Jack and Jack's best mate Red, brings it all back to one key goal - make the beer that they want to drink. It's the Pirate way of doing business on your own terms, and it is key to the team's values. The journeymen have, quite literally, come a long way.

With the mantra "ideas worth spreading", TED's short and powerful presentations, published on video and shared via social media, have enormous global influence. Robin Freeth, who is taking the phenomenon to a local level with TEDx Adelaide, discusses about the TED talks that have impacted him and the importance of engaging and executing ideas. Robin has a story to tell, in his own right. He led a UK web company through the highs and lowest of lows of the dot com boom, and has held senior marketing roles with major brands in both the UK and Australia. While working with Vodaphone, Robin played a key role in the company's major sponsorship agreement with Port Power, and talks about how corporates measure success in significant branding deals. Now running his own business, Robin is sought after as a leader and mentor, and shares some interesting views on the importance of establishing a personal board.

I get really wound up when I go out for dinner and (staff) don't give a damn." So when British restauranteur Max Mason was hiring staff for the Henry Austin, perhaps Adelaide's most ambitious hospitality project, he turned experienced applicants away. He brought in an acting coach to teach staff about human interaction, and also taught staff chess to entertain guests while they wait for their date. This unconventional approach isn't unusual for for Max. In England, he once employed a homeless man as his head chef and convicted murderers as kitchen staff. He also thinks differently about the business of hospitality. After being lured to Adelaide's historic and vacant Chesser Cellars building by a friend and also the South Australian government's Renew Adelaide department, Max adapted to his surroundings. He called it the Henry Austin, and moulded his ideas for the restaurant, bar and bottle shop around the dilapidated building and turned it's weaknesses into strengths. The small plate menu of modern Australian yum cha is easy to run up and down stairs and there are flexible and unique spaces for functions. Amazingly, Max's bottle shop is the first of it's kind; he holds the 8,000 wines and pays winemakers as they sell. He's cut out distributors, and they hate him for it. The Henry Austin is just one chapter in Max's story. He travelled the world as a maritime archaeologist and then a British Naval Officer before getting into the restaurant game. He then developed quite a reputation in London and Oxford, before being brought out to Adelaide for pop up projects such as the Adelaide Festival restaurant project, Lola's Pergola. Enjoy truly unique insights about food, wine, hospitality, business and life from the eccentric and energetic Max Mason at the Henry Austin.

He called it the Henry Austin, and moulded his ideas for the restaurant, bar and bottle shop around the dilapidated building and turned it's weaknesses into strengths. The small plate menu of modern Australian yum cha is easy to run up and down stairs and there are flexible and unique spaces for functions. Amazingly, Max's bottle shop is the first of it's kind; he holds the 8,000 wines and pays winemakers as they sell. He's cut out distributors, and they hate him for it. The Henry Austin is just one chapter in Max's story. He travelled the world as a maritime archaeologist and then a British Naval Officer before getting into the restaurant game. He then developed quite a reputation in London and Oxford, before being brought out to Adelaide for pop up projects such as the Adelaide Festival restaurant project, Lola's Pergola. Enjoy truly unique insights about food, wine, hospitality, business and life from the eccentric and energetic Max Mason at the Henry Austin.

The entrepreneurial journey for the founder of WINK Models and The Right.Fit began with an unconventional childhood. Born in South Australia's Barossa Valley, Taryn moved and travelled frequently with parents who were progressive, highly supportive but provided few boundaries. It meant that Taryn developed into a highly responsible teenager, which put her in good stead as a 15 year old model trying to make her way in the fashion industry. Taryn says it is an industry that is far from glamourous. The demands can be brutal, and seeing how poorly that talent and clients were treated led her to start her own agency, WINK, at just 18. WINK has helped redefine the culture of the industry, prioritising health and wellness for models and providing a top quality experience for clients. Not content with just one fashion business, Taryn started TheRight.Fit, a talent marketplace for the fashion industry that opens up easy access to models, photographers, influencers, makeup artists, stylists and more. In less than a year, growth has been exponential. 2500 talent has already signed up, 850 clients have followed, there's a new office in New York and Bangkok is opening soon. Now running two companies in Sydney amongst entrepreneurs with "Peter Pan Syndrome" (no one wants to grow up), Taryn talks about swimming in the the deep end. In our interview, we also cover: - Challenges in entrepreneurship - The rise of influencer marketing - Preparing for growth in Asia - Breaking barriers for women in tech - Fashion tips - Much more!

A far cry from the man who would become a top Navy official, the 34th Governor of South Australia, business leader and University Chancellor. Kevin was pushed into the Royal Australian Navy College by his father. He intended to cruise through his studies but the threat of being thrown out of the college was a much needed wake up call. He truly came of age during the Vietnam War, where the Navy exposed him to the best and worst of leadership. Kevin shares what he learned about teams and people at sea. While he didn't actively pursue high ranking positions promotion naturally followed. Kevin's passion for the job, and commitment to ongoing learning, led to a strong understanding of Defence commercialisation. This would open up his world beyond the military, where he would earn the respect of both business and government. After retiring as South Australia's Governor, Kevin recently headed up South Australia's Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission. He puts talks about the case for Nuclear, the community response, and whether this is a "silver bullet" for the SA economy. In his role as the University of Adelaide's Chancellor, Kevin also sees a bright future for education.

Riding up to 300km a day for three weeks in the Tour de France, the pain is unimaginable and relentless. It is not uncommon for parts of the body to shut down (Pat recalls losing vision in one eye during a hill climb), and the mind also enters a "dark place". The only thing keeping the cyclists going is optimism, and the hope of a big pay day. Making money on the Pro Tour isn't easy, despite the global popularity of the sport. Pat talks about the business of cycling, where riders wait for the cameras and sprint to give their sponsors air time, and the unofficial deals brokered on the road by rival teams. Lance Armstrong changed cycling, for better and then worse. Pat was on Lance's now infamous US Postal Service team, but missed out on Tour De France selection in 2000. While devastated at the time, it kept him out of the team's drug program and the enormous fallout that followed. Pat says elite performers in business and cycling aren't as different as they seem.

While he's now earning up to $15,000 an hour on the global speakers circuit, it could've been very different. Vinh's family escaped the Viet Cong on treacherous waters and arrived in Australia as Vietnamese refugees. The family struggled to make ends meet in the Northern suburbs of Adelaide, selling whatever they could to survive. After hearing his mum pleading for money to put him through school, Vinh began looking for ways to make fast money. He bought and sold goods to school mates, and paid bullies to keep debtors in check. Against the odds, he got within six months of completing an accounting degree before a "life saving" conversation with a firm partner led to Vinh dropping out to pursue magic. That conversation set Vinh on a path to greatness, as a magician, online business owner and keynote speaker sought after worldwide. This is a fascinating and inspirational story with important insights for personal development, business, performance and life.

As an AFL superstar given the responsibility of leading his team, Pavlich struggled to live up to his own perception that AFL captains had to be perfect. But over time he learned that it was more important to be vulnerable, and show his teammates who he really was, and he talks about a defining moment where he did just that at a powerful bonfire chat with his team at a pre-season camp. In his 17th year at AFL level, Pavlich has fallen just short of a Premiership. If he doesn't win one this season, in what is likely to be his last year, he's ok with that. He now has a holistic view of what success really is, and it includes his roles as a husband, father and businessman. And Pavlich is ready to make an impact in the corporate world. The AFL Players Association President, MBA student, brand ambassador and startup co-founder has been preparing for life after football since the day he was drafted. He has built one of the best "blue chip" personal brands of any AFL player, developed off the back of an unwavering commitment to his values. Rooster Radio was lucky to get half an hour with Pavlich the night before a game in Adelaide.

It was macabre and sick in many ways." Kevin Foley was one of the most intimidating, colourful and entertaining characters that South Australian politics has ever seen. He thrived on the sport, and the theatre, in his career as SA's longest serving Deputy Premier, and third longest serving treasurer. But he tells Rooster Radio that the bold, "bulldog" approach to politics overcompensated for feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy. Which was why, despite having the opportunity to challenge then Premier Mike Rann for the top job, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Despite the vulnerabilities Foley has many top level deals and achievements to his name. He shares the inside stories with Rooster Radio, including the espionage and secret negotiations that led to the masterful Adelaide Oval deal. He also reveals his tips for getting business deals over the line. In a wide-ranging discussion, we cover Foley's journey from school dropout to treasurer, politics then compared to politics now, the most ruthless men in business, and playing the game to get to the top. This is Kevin Foley uncut. True to reputation, he is honest, entertaining and outrageous. Warning - there are plenty of naughty words in this episode.

It had come to the attention of Kathryn's manager that she was running an online business on the side, without approval from the department, and they didn't like it. That's when Kathryn decided she was done. On hands and knees to avoid detection, she escaped her cubicle office and committed full time to her e-course business. It was the best decision she'd every make. Revenue has exploded since launch four years ago, and is expected to pass $750,000 and head towards a million dollars this year. Equally enviable is Kathryn's lifestyle where she works from her Adelaide home for about 25 to 30 hours a week with plenty of time for her young children. Kathryn wasn't a "born" entrepreneur, but demonstrated the ability to execute her ideas with an unwavering mindset. She shares her story with Rooster Radio, including her tips for success.

Phil Walsh, the coach of the Adelaide Football Club, had been murdered. As chairman of the club, one of the most high profile sporting teams in Australia, Rob had to lead players, staff, fans and a wider community through an unprecedented time of trauma and emotion. Rob shares the key moments, including that phone call and through the steps of the leadership and communication response that impacted so many. While Rob could never be ready to handle such a crisis, his years in business leadership, including roles as CEO of St George Bank and managing director of Bank SA, had taught him a lot about people, both on a personal and public level. For Rob, it is a case of nice guys finish first - being likeable, a "good bloke", has been a big part in his success. He says he learned many of these traits as the son of a farmer, and in the school boarding house. Rob's rise to the top in business hasn't been without challenges. Early in his career he pushed himself to the limit, and took risks, while still juggling his role as a husband and father to young children. Having achieved almost all there is, Rob remains motivated and passionate to see South Australia progress, both in its economy and mindset.

The life of a music journalist in the 80s and 90s. Doug Adamson left Adelaide and arrived in London hoping to talk his way into a job that would get him free tickets to gigs. He ended up interviewing all of the biggest names in music, including The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Pink Floyd. Doug learned about egos, interviewing techniques and business, sometimes from painful lessons, including a butchered interview with Stones legend Mick Jagger. During this period Doug went from looking for a party to building a global radio production business, which he sold before starting a software company in the midst of the dot com boom. Doug has always had an eye for opportunity. Now as a business advisor, startup investor and mentor, Doug takes a "no bullshit" approach to an Australian ecosystem where company founders are still trying to find their place in the market.

So James Williams, AKA "The Kid" or "TK", quit real estate to pursue a career in ... rap music. At Rooster Radio, we often talk about the entrepreneur's "jump" - quitting your job to take a risk and pursue a dream - but few have leaped like James! He wasn't just a real estate agent, at 23 he was a founding partner in Harris Real Estate, one of South Australia's most recognised real estate brands. He was pulling in as much as six figures a month. But one day he stunned his business partner, family and friends by saying "he's done", selling out of the business to pursue his dream to create hip hop music. James shares insights into what he calls a "mid life crisis at 25". Using the determination and systems he'd learned as a real estate agent, "The kid" burst onto the scene winning rap battles and taking on the world. The notoriety and millions of listens brought more than just jealousy and criticism - he faced death threats, abuse, and was threatened with a knife before going on stage. Now creating music not for fame but for the love of it, James also shares his learnings from real estate and rap as a coach for agents and business people, and is also on the speaking circuit. In this truly unique Rooster Radio, we talk sales, success, skateboarding, freedom and love ... with a bit of freestyle rap, too.

When he quit, his mother also had a stroke and Puja went home to care for her. He lost his income and for a little while, his way. Puja shares how he used his engineering skills, and his network, to help develop his site. Without a background in hospitality, he is also learning as he goes. Puja talks about the challenging relationship between business and culture in Bali. A traditional way of thinking means that being entrepreneurial, or investing in the future, is not considered by many locals. The many customary obligations also make entry into business difficult. But four months into building his business, Puja's philosophy of "don't look back" and an emphasis of fostering relationships with guests has brought early success. Other issues covered in the chat: Leaving the high paying job, Bali business culture, the process of setting up a villa complex and lessons learned, marketing and personal service. Andrew saw it first hand when staying at Puja's Villa Puspa with his wife - no "cash for comment" here - just a chat with another Rooster sharing his interesting experiences in another part of the world! Villa Puspa is in an amazing location - a quiet Balinese village among rice paddies a a kilometre from Kedungu Beach (known for its great surf break).

Playing AFL at the time, Massie turned to alternative medicine and meditation to overcome the physical and psychological challenges he was facing. Those philosophies remain today for Massie, personally and in business. He founded Chi PT just over a year ago, and is much more than a personal trainer. He is a coach to CEOs, city workers and people of all backgrounds and walks of life, providing holistic advice that includes physical training, nutrition and mindfulness. With the mantra "move, refuel, love", Massie talks about the challenge of finding balance, and how many attempt to reach peak performance from a base of physical and mental exhaustion. He has taken an uncommon path compared to most AFL footballers, but Massie says he was always different in a system that could be "boring".

But gee, it can be pretentious. South Australian winemaker David Bowley, founder of Vinteloper, has made it his mission to create "grown up fun". To cut out the bullshit and cliches of the wine industry, and create wines that people simply love. Even if they can't adequately describe the characteristics ("Mmmm, the tannins ..."). David has built of a community of wine lovers from all over the world, where he demystifies wine terminology and shares insights via his blog and social media. For David, Vinteloper is deeply personal. Every wine tells a story, and has been produced, quite literally, hands on. Wine is as much about the experience as it is the taste. This led to formation of the Urban Winery Project, an event that brings the wine regions to the city, and enables people to do it Lucille Ball style and get up to their ankles in grapes while being fed by Australia's top chefs. David has produced wine especially for the Urban Winery Project and, in a Rooster Radio exclusive, the boys got the first taste. PHENOMENAL. David also talks about his unique approach to wine marketing, as well as insights into the wine industry in Australia - vital to our economy, but can we do it better?

From finding the right social network for your company, to sharing the right content and message, and responding to feedback both good and bad, it is an art that many business leaders find difficult to master. It is in this world where experts like Kate Potter, social media consultant at Hughes PR, are called in to provide strategy and guidance. Kate tells Rooster Radio that many businesses don't always realise that social media is a "long game" and requires ongoing commitment to get results. Measuring the value of social media can be difficult but is crucial, she says. Kate blends her social media skills with her background in PR and media monitoring, and talks about why monitoring both mainstream and social media is important for businesses.

Delving into their stories, the often heinous crimes committed and the motivations behind them, enables Luke and his team at Broomhall Young to provide reports and assessments often relied upon by the courts. Luke talks about the minds of violent and sexual offenders, and how mental illness doesn't always lead to a conclusion of mental incompetence. He shares his insights into psychopaths, and how they not only fill our jails but also our boardrooms. Luke's forensic work is increasingly crossing over into the workplace, as organisations seek better ways to understand and manage staff behaviour.

That's the title on Stuart Snyder's business card. The truth is, it's a job he worked incredibly hard for. Now a tech startup investor and mentor, Stuart Snyder found success as co-founder of Your Amigo, a global internet marketing powerhouse which started in Adelaide. Stuart's story started in Silicon Valley, where he went to high school with "long haired hippy" Steve Jobs. He left a dysfunctional home life to forge his own path as an accountant. Finding love in Adelaide, Stuart also found the team and technology that would become Your Amigo. The early years were treacherous, and Stuart talks about being able to sell the Your Amigo product anywhere in the world but "conservative" Australia. Even when Your Amigo was at it's most successful, life for Stuart was uncertain. After a trip overseas he returned home to face a divorce and, despite being well off after exiting the company, was left feeling "like a prisoner in solitary confinement". Now a wealth of life and business experience, Stuart focused on giving back - investing in Australian technology startups, mentoring promising founders and becoming an influential voice in South Australia's startup scene in particular. It's an exciting time for startups in Australia, with the government recently announcing a billion dollar package to spark innovation and commercialise research. Stuart says it is a step in the right direction but for the "ideas boom" to kick off, Australian culture needs to change. Technology is seen as the driver for economies and growth in the years ahead, but as valuations hit the multi-billions for a growing number of "unicorn" startups, is the bubble about to burst? Having seen a number of booms and busts in his time, Stuart shares his insights, and talks about what investors are looking for in startups and their teams.

Mark Stewart, founder of Classic Contractors in Western Australia, has seen the highs and lows of life and business. As a child, he saw his parents lose everything on the stock market. And as Classic Contractors was beginning to thrive in the painting and building industry, a misjudged job put the company on the brink. The lessons learned were the equivalent to any business qualification, Mark says, as he went on to build a business that now sits in the top two independent painting companies in Western Australia. Amazingly, Mark still runs his $10 million business from an Excel spreadsheet. Over time, Mark's approach to leading his team, and his own personal faith, has evolved. Mark is also President of East Fremantle Football Club, and juggles his professional life with his role as a husband and father of three girls.

Tom Richardson, political reporter, commentator, South Australian Journalist of the Year 2011, has spent over a decade covering state and federal politics. In his time with the Advertiser, the Australian, Channel 9 and now news website InDaily, Tom has been part of the fascinating relationship between media and politics. It's a volatile relationship that boiled over recently, when outgoing Australian prime minister Tony Abbott left his post with a parting shot at the media. Rooster Radio talks to Richardson about the media's influence on politics in Australia, where everyone seemingly has their own agenda. Tom also talks about what it takes to cut through political spin, and politicians as leaders of people, especially in a time of crisis. And with South Australia, in particular, facing enormous economic challenges, we talk about what role the government should play, and why business can't have it both ways. There's also another side to Tom - the mad Crows fan who writes a satirical AFL column, Touch of the Fumbles. Tune in to the wide-ranging discussion.

They're the words an AFL premiership player and captain. Port Adelaide Power champion Dom Cassisi told Rooster Radio that despite playing 228 games at the highest level, he always felt anxious about keeping his job. He said it has been a blessing in disguise, as when retirement came he was well prepared for the next phase of his life, starting and leading a new finance broking company, Funding Options. Dom talks about turning his back on an AFL coaching gig to make the massive career shift from football to finance, and how he is building his business. With a base of 14 years in elite sport, Dom shares the lessons he's learned, and talks through the unfathomable challenge of leading a team after the tragic death of team mate John McCarthy. fundingoptions.com.au Hosted by Apiro Consulting's Andrew Montesi and Tract Leadership's James Begley.

International cricket star Shaun Tait says this is how some family members reacted when he took a break from cricket in 2008, citing physical and mental burn out. As a result of that decision, Tait tells Rooster Radio that he lost the respect of the cricket community, and never got it back. But, the ultra fast bowler returned fitter and more positive than ever, to play a key role in the Twenty20 cricket revolution. Tait, with hosts James Begley and Andrew Montesi, talks about how the T20 commercialised cricket, the CRAZY Indian Premier League figures thrown at the stars and using those funds wisely to set up for life after sport. True to his reputation, the Adelaide Hills boy doesn't hold back and shares some great insights with Rooster Radio listeners.
