    REINVENTION with Thomas Nhan Tri Nguyen

    Today, I’m joined by Thomas Nhan Tri Nguyen who has a fascinating story that I wanted to learn more about. From music halls to the battlefield and now boardroom, Thomas (or Tom’s) journey is anything but conventional. Tom is of Vietnamese heritage. He grew up in Adelaide, the only child of migrants who were fleeing war-torn Vietnam. While his early years were filled with music and academia, he started his working life as a public servant in the Queensland Government. A desire for a greater challenge led him down an unexpected path: the Australian Defence Force.Commissioned as an artillery officer in 2007, Tom served with distinction as a troop commander, navigating the complexities of field operations during a pivotal era in Australia’s military engagements. But Tom wanted more and it was then he discovered the world of management consulting and reinvented himself once again. An MBA from INSEAD in France launched him into the global stage with McKinsey, where he worked across 15 countries before returning to Australia to establish his own strategic advisory practice.Tom’s story is one of curiosity, courage, and constant reinvention—a testament to the power of stepping outside your comfort zone. Today, he applies lessons learned from both the battlefield and the boardroom to help others navigate their own transformative journeys. Let’s meet Tom and find out more…  For more information about Thomas, check out these places;-Linkedin: Thomas Nhan Tri Nguyen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-nhan-tri-nguyen-0ab4a5a/?originalSubdomain=au)Instagram: @tomntnguyen (https://www.instagram.com/tomntnguyen/?locale=us&hl=am-et)Head to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today’s guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCox (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellejcox/)Connect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcox (https://www.instagram.com/michelle.j.cox/)Connect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcox (https://www.facebook.com/coxxygal/)AND, if you have a burning topic you’d love people to talk more about,

    REINVENTION with Monique van Tulder

    Hello, welcome to the show! I’m your host Michelle Cox and it makes me so happy you’re here with us once again to learn from another incredible guest that I’m about to introduce you to.This episode is part of a ‘series’ we’re currently running on the show - where I'm talking to all guests about the same topic, and that topic is REINVENTION! And why are we doing this? Well, it’s a topic I get asked about a lot; how I reinvented myself, why, the process I went through, and I was keen to talk to others about their transitions and what they went through to create a new life for themselves. Today, I sit down with the wonderful Monique van Tulder who has been inspiring mid-life women to shake things up a bit and encouraging them to step into their ‘second-act’ where, after decades of looking after others, they now get to spend time and resources on themselves.Authentically sharing her story of mid-life reinvigoration - her own Eat Pray Runaway & Return adventure (she abandoned her family for eight months) - Monique’s wisdom inspires other women to prioritise health & well-being, financial literacy, retirement or professional life, and of course, travel retreats and adventure also! Monique leads an engaged online community of like-minded mid-age women who want to regain control of their lives. Her mantra: “Now, is your time” sounds like just the antidote for many of us living a life seemingly for others & not ourselves. Let’s find out more from the wonderful Monique van Tulder. Her book ‘A Grown Ups Gap Year’ - The Guidebook for mid Lifestyle. Wellbeing.Adventure. Chic (how to put YOU back in the picture).For more information about Monique, check out these places;-Website: https://www.moniquevantulder.com.au/Instagram: @moniquevantulderHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today’s guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCox (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellejcox/)Connect with Michelle on Instagram here:-

    REINVENTION with Valerie Khoo - PART ONE

    We are kicking off a ‘series’ for the first time on the show - where I bring on guests to talk about the same topic over the coming weeks, and that topic is REINVENTION! It’s a topic I get asked about a lot;  how I reinvented myself, why, the process, and I wanted to talk to others about their incredible transitions and hear about their reinvention stories too. So, our first guest in this series is my dear friend, incredible entrepreneur and fellow creative studio buddy, Valerie Khoo who I’m sitting with here in our joint creative studio, Atelier 9 in Avalon. Valerie is an award-winning feature writer who is also CEO of the Australian Writers’ Centre - an organisation she founded over 18 years ago. As you’re about to hear, Val does many things - some of which include podcaster, incredible artist and author of seven books. Her latest books are So you want to be a writer (co-authored with Allison Tait) and Power Stories: The 8 Stories You MUST Tell to Build an Epic Business. Val & I always have such incredible conversations whist we are painting and potting in our studio and it was fitting that she kicks off this series about Reinvention as she’s had a fascinating journey that’s led her to where she is today. There was so much GOLD in this chat that I’ve split it into two parts - let’s dive in and here some of the wisdom this incredible woman offers us in part one. _______Also - HUGE News!! I’m excited to announce that the One Question podcast now has a YouTube channel. It will be wonderful to be able to bring you visual content of our interviews as well. This episode with Valerie will be the first to feature on the platform - so please, go check it out here so we have more than 2 views!! :)One Question YoutubeFor more information about Valerie, check out these places;-Websites: Valerie Khoo (https://valeriekhoo.com/) and Australian Writers Centre (https://www.writerscentre.com.au/)Instagram: @valeriekhoo (https://www.instagram.com/valeriekhoo/)Linkedin:

    200 EPISODES! Helene Thomas in conversation with Michelle Cox

    Today I get the tables turned on me as we hit a wonderful milestone here on the One Question Podcast. I’m lucky enough to once again sit down with Helene Thomas, a Hobart based creative audio producer with a PhD in journalism. You may recall that I had Helene on the show a few months ago - you can have a listen to that interview it’s #189 on the show - it’s such a great conversation. But this time I connect with Helene for a different reason. You see Helene considers every story as a living spirit. This is why she takes her time and goes deep into the lives of others as they share their life worlds with her. She has been producing audio features and documentaries for 17 years and learned very quickly that telling people’s stories carries a huge responsibility, so she decided to make this the topic of her PhD study. Through her research, she developed a practice that she calls Journalism of the Heart. It’s where you slow down and take the time to get to know people so that it leads to deeper human connections and better stories. Helene’s passion is crafting people’s stories into intimate audio experiences and this is precisely why I felt she would be the perfect person to interview me for this very special 200th episode.It’s a frank and honest interview- I was a little nervous before we started as I know Helene has a knack for bringing out stories we often keep under wraps. And as you’re about to hear.. she certainly caught me off guard with a few of her questions. This is a conversation about life, love, and the love of life and it’s ultimately a story about living a life more aligned with self and creative reinvention. I hope you enjoy it. For more information about Helene, check out these places;-Over the past year she has been engaged with a variety of storytelling projects with elders in the community and LGBTQIA+ folk (Pridefinder and working with academics on an Australian Research Council funded project).* Website: https://www.thewayfinder.com.au/ (https://www.thewayfinder.com.au/)* Instagram: @thewayfinderstorystudio/ (https://www.instagram.com/thewayfinderstorystudio/)* Linkedin: Helene ThomasHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today’s guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:-

    THE POWER OF PLAY with Tim Jack Adams

    If there is one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be?“The Power of Play. The Elixir of Life - Eternal Youth. We spend billions of dollars every year trying to make ourselves look and feel younger and yet the solution is staring right at us. PLAY! For some reason, we dismiss it as childish, not important to our life's goals and conquests or we are just too busy. And yet, when we look at the science behind play the only word I can use to describe its effects on our wellbeing is POWERFUL.”___"We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing" George Bernard Shaw".Imagine if your whole idea for existing as a business is to measure and improve Australians' wellbeing!
