    Networking Is Like Dating. Here's Why That's Good | Georgie Kollis - EP181

    She built her career by showing up to everything, but at her most successful she was also at her lowest. Georgie Kollis went from commission-only charity sales to Billabong, Ray White and finance, then rebuilt herself through discipline, the 75 Hard challenge and the Like-Minded networking community she founded. In this episode, you'll learn how to network with intent, remove barriers and find mentors who will change your path.   -   Get in touch with Georgie Kollis https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgie-kollis-769226207/   -   Find Us On Social Media https://www.instagram.com/sxhpod   -   Georgie's Quick Fire Answers What does success mean to you? "Knowing yourself and what makes you tick and makes you happy. It's taken a long road to get there, but knowing what makes you tick and knowing what your boundaries are, that's success to me." What does happiness mean to you? "Showing up for your loved ones and your colleagues, and being positive every single day. Choose your partner and your colleagues wisely. Culture is everything, paycheck's not. Make sure where you rock up every day and the person you go home to make you just as happy." What's your normal morning routine these days? "Up at 4.30, or 5 to 5.30 in winter. I do a river walk every single day, off the back of 75 Hard, then a coffee, often a catch-up with someone, before I log on to work." What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see? "Have mentors. You'd be surprised how humbled people are that you want their time and attention. Reach out to the people you want to be like, because they will give you the time back." Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show? "Dan Sowden. He's been at Ray White Maroochydore for over 20 years, flies under the radar and has so much knowledge on how he's shaped culture in his offices in such a volatile industry."   -   Chapters (00:00:00) - Introduction (00:00:40) – Chapter 1 | Greek Roots, Commission-Only Sales And Networking With Intent (00:24:51) – Chapter 2 | Rock Bottom, 75 Hard And Building Like-Minded (00:45:05) - Quick Fire Questions (00:48:02) - Outro   -   #podcast #networking #75hard

    Expelled From 3 Schools, Retired From Footy At 19: How LJ Silulu Rebuilt Himself | EP180

    He grew up in a biker-gang family where being seen meant being hard, and it took a bloody nose in an under-9s scrum to earn his father's first "proud of you". LJ Silulu, founder of Your Legacy Project, was expelled from three high schools, lost his rugby league identity to a snapped ankle at 19, and spent his twenties drinking and fighting in mining camps before a black-vomit morning in a donga made him look in the mirror and ask if he could do better…   -   Get in touch with LJ Silulu https://www.instagram.com/thriving_sons/   -   LJ's Quick Fire Answers What does success mean to you? "Once upon a time success looked like financial success. Now that I have a family, success to me is to have raised beautiful children who are living their greatest lives, and to be on my deathbed and have them around me. That would be a successful life." What does happiness mean to you? "Always family. Happiness is myself and Shirall. She's my best friend, greatest supporter, greatest love, who gave me these three children. Happiness is our life together." What's your normal morning routine these days? "I stopped focusing on morning routines at baby number two. I stick to non-negotiables now: daily cold showers, gym three times a week, and nightly walks my oldest son and I started the last two weeks. We walk the three boys, the youngest falls asleep in the pram, and my oldest and I just talk." What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see? "We need more good men to stand out and more fathers to be present. You might be raising your own sons, but there are other sons out there that need you. And it's not about raising hard, strong boys. Boys are allowed to be compassionate. You can't talk about it, you have to show it." Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show? "My friend Ryan Tyrrell, an ex-professional rugby union player. We grew up in the same town and our egos didn't let us be friends. We reconnected a few years ago and it was 'dude, me too, my dad, me too.' He's been on a big journey and more men need to talk about their struggles."   -   Listen To The Podcast https://pod.link/1683066164?view=apps&sort=popularity   -     Find Us On Social Media https://www.instagram.com/sxhpod   -   Chapters (00:00:00) - Introduction (00:00:45) – Chapter 1 | Otara, The Stormtroopers And Learning That Being Seen Meant Being Hard (00:09:36) – Chapter 2 | The Uppercut That Made Dad Proud, Three Expulsions And The Principal Who Saved The Footy Boys (00:19:00) – Chapter 3 | Snapped Ankle At 19, The Black-Tar Mirror Moment And 100 Push-Ups Before A Drink (00:30:33) – Chapter 4 | Becoming A Father And Unlearning The Warrior (00:35:10) – Chapter 5 | Walking Out Of The Gym, Healing Eight-Year-Old LJ And Building Your Legacy Project (00:47:07) - Quick Fire Questions (00:52:18) - Outro   -   #podcast #fatherhood #mensmentalhealth

    The One Question That Exposes What You Actually Want | Shirall Silulu - EP179

    She's the registered psychologist who went from working with offenders in drug and alcohol clinics to coaching leaders in boardrooms. Shirall Silulu, founder of Honouring Minds, shares how a curious kid who made her mum label every item in the kitchen ended up specialising in trauma and attachment, and why she now believes most leadership is performance.   -   Get in touch with Shirall Silulu https://www.instagram.com/honouringminds/   -   Shirall's Quick Fire Answers What does success mean to you? "It's not an external thing for me. It's reaching a point of having enough. Enough money where I don't have to worry about things, enough love, enough happiness, enough joyful moments, enough time, enough space. I've got enough." What does happiness mean to you? "Beautiful moments of deep connection, where nothing else exists in the world and the only thing that exists is what's happening right in front of you. Whether it's with my kids, my friends or my husband, I can feel it in every single cell of my body. And it's not there all the time." What's your normal morning routine these days? "I'm a co-sleeping, breastfeeding mother, so I've often got two children in the bed with me. In whatever capacity I have, I try to connect in with myself first with a few minutes of automatic writing. Then I get up about six, have a coffee and breakfast with the kids. My husband and I have designed our lives so we're both usually home in the morning." What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see? "You are here for a purpose, and life will test you in ways that also help you to remember what your purpose is." Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show? "My friend Dr Hayley Quinn, also a psychologist on the Sunshine Coast. She works particularly with women in leadership, helping them with capacity, mindset and self-care. She's very wise."   -   Listen To The Podcast https://pod.link/1683066164?view=apps&sort=popularity   -   Find Us On Social Media https://www.instagram.com/sxhpod   -   Chapters (00:00:00) - Introduction (00:00:32) – Chapter 1 | The Kid Who Labelled The Kitchen: Criminology, Drug And Alcohol Work And The Birth Of Honouring Minds (00:08:41) – Chapter 2 | The Eulogy Question, The Capacity Jar And The Lighthouse Leader Framework (00:29:02) – Chapter 3 | Mark It And Own It: Leading On A Bad Day And Being Ambitious Yet At Peace (00:37:20) – Chapter 4 | Breathing, Borrowed Capacity And Why Performing Leaders Hit The Wall (00:50:50) - Quick Fire Questions (00:55:15) - Outro   -   #podcast #leadership #psychology

    From Brazil To Alaska: Why Every Leader Fails The Same Way | Dave Watson - EP178

    He flies between mine sites in Brazil, Chile, Alaska, Canada and West Africa teaching leaders one uncomfortable truth: your brain is not on your side.   In this episode you'll learn why the same leadership problems show up in every country, culture and boardroom, and how to stop letting a prehistoric supercomputer make your decisions for you.   -   Get in touch with Dave Watson https://neurolead.net.au   -   Dave's Quick Fire Answers What does success mean to you? "Whatever I'm doing, I'm able to do things that fulfil me, that I'm proud of, and inspire people and be a role model." What does happiness mean to you? "Seeing other people being content and happy and achieving things. Emotional contagion is a real thing for me, especially around the people that mean the most. If they're happy, energised, enthusiastic and achieving things, that's my definition of happiness." What's your normal morning routine these days? "Up at five, a bodyweight workout with my water weights, ab roller and skipping rope, ran up and down our hill a couple of times, shower with the last 30 seconds cold, four eggs with sauerkraut, olive oil, salt and pepper, made the girls' lunch, then a coffee with Jackie when she woke up." What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see? "Understanding and leading self is hard. But if you do that well, you will live a life free of shame, guilt and regret." Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show? "Graham Twine, GT, founder and MD of Suncoast Fresh. He is a ball of energy and super interesting.

    82 Minutes: The Goal That Nearly Broke Me | Solo - EP177

    In this episode, we replay the keynote I delivered at RMX 2026 on the art of enduring: what Ultraman actually is, why the athlete out front is only 20% of the result, and the 82 minutes I chased and never got. You'll learn why your biggest competitor is yourself, why exhaustion isn't evidence of commitment, why hard is the price of becoming capable rather than proof you're going wrong, and how to stay stubborn on the destination while staying curious about the route.   -   Listen To The Podcast https://pod.link/1683066164?view=apps&sort=popularity   -   Find Us On Social Media https://www.instagram.com/sxhpod   -   Chapters (00:00:00) - Introduction (00:00:36) – Chapter 1 | Dead Last At 16 To World Record Holder: What Ultraman Is, Why You're Only 20% Of The Outcome, And Choosing The Hill (00:18:35) – Chapter 2 | Hawaii, A DNF And A Record Broken By Someone Else: Embracing The Climb And Changing The Course (00:45:13) - Outro   -   #podcast #endurancemindset #highperformance

    36 Years In Litigation Taught Him One Thing... Walk Away | Kyle Kimball - EP176

    He spent 36 years fighting other people's battles before realising the only fight that mattered was the one with himself. Kyle Kimball started his own firm at 27 in Mooloolaba, and built it into one of the Sunshine Coast's most respected litigation practices before selling to his younger partners and walking away. In this episode you'll learn why it's not your dog in the fight, how to write the Abraham Lincoln letter you never send, why most fights aren't worth having, why every dispute is really about identity rather than money, and why the only thing you control is yourself and how you respond.   -   Get in touch with Kyle https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylekimballkadvisory/   -   Kyle's Quick Fire Answers What does success mean to you? "Peace." What does happiness mean to you? “Fleeting. Happiness is a byproduct of things that occur. It's outside your control." What's your normal morning routine these days? "We don't have curtains, so whenever the sun's up, I'm up — usually around seven. I haven't woken up to an alarm in years unless I've got an early flight. Down the beach, have a swim, come back, coffee, maybe back to bed if I'm really cheeky. Then I'll write in the mornings. Go for a mountain bike ride, come home, write again. That's my day." What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see? "Look at yourself first. And understand yourself. It helps with so many other aspects of your life." Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show? "Michael Dada. He's mercurial, he's got his fingers in a million pies, and he's very good with people."   -   Listen To The Podcast https://pod.link/1683066164?view=apps&sort=popularity   -   Find Us On Social Media https://www.instagram.com/sxhpod   -   Chapters (00:00:00) - Introduction (00:00:37) – Chapter 1 | Navy Dropout To Articled Clerk: Falling Into Law And Learning It's Not Your Dog In The Fight (00:12:36) – Chapter 2 | Starting A Firm At 27: Three Decades Of Ownership And Knowing When To Get Out (00:20:10) – Chapter 3 | Handing Back The Identity: Losing Faith In The System And The Six Months After (00:32:22) – Chapter 4 | 35 Years In Litigation: What Everyone Gets Wrong About Conflict (00:39:06) – Chapter 5 | The Best Decision The Firm Ever Made: Listening, Sadie And Staying Strong Mentally (00:46:05) - Quick Fire Questions (00:48:15) - Outro   -   #podcast #law #sunshinecoast

    You Don't Have To Feel Good To Play Good | Lessons From Sunshine Coast Lightning's Ash Ervin - EP175

    She went from a shy, gangly kid who hated taking up space to pulling on the Australian Diamonds dress at just 22. Ash Ervin is the Sunshine Coast Lightning goalkeeper and Australian Diamond number 197. A self-described type B in a world of type A athletes, who rose from Firebirds training partner to a full SSN contract to the national squad in a handful of years, then copped the phone call every athlete dreads when she was dropped from the squad this year.   -   Get in touch with Ash Ervin https://www.instagram.com/ashleigh.ervin/?hl=en   -   Ash's Quick Fire Answers   What does success mean to you? "Success is so different to everyone. For some people it might be money and wealth. For me it's my sport and representing my country. It's finding what success is to you and going after that 100 percent, without any exceptions, knowing that success to you might be something completely different to the person next to you."   What does happiness mean to you? "Happiness isn't found in material things. If you keep thinking something external will give you happiness, you'll just keep looking for something else. In reality it's within you and it's always there — you just have to shift your mindset to finding it internally."   What's your normal morning routine these days? "I'm not really a super routine person. It always starts with making a coffee. In the off-season I'm waking around seven or eight, in season it's six. Coffee, brekkie — normally toast — a chat with my roommate if she's there, and lately my little Sudoku. I'm obsessed with it."   What piece of advice would you put on a billboard for the world to see? "You don't have to be liked by everyone. The quicker you accept that and just go, I have to be true to myself, the more freeing it is. Stick to your morals and values and you can move about the world so much more freely."   Who would you suggest as a future guest on the show? "My roommate Lisa. She's a netball player who's also doing teaching, she's so funny, and she's got some really good pieces of advice."   -   Listen To The Podcast https://pod.link/1683066164?view=apps&sort=popularity   -   Find Us On Socials https://www.instagram.com/sxhpod   -   Chapters (00:00:00) - Introduction (00:00:40) – Chapter 1 | The Shy Six-Foot Kid: Finding Belonging, Psychological Safety And Being Type B In A Type A World (00:15:28) – Chapter 2 | Training Partner To Diamond #197: The Rapid Rise And Beating Imposter Syndrome (00:28:40) – Chapter 3 | "You Don't Have To Feel Good To Play Good": Your Brain Is Your Strongest Tool (00:34:59) – Chapter 4 | The Phone Call: Being Dropped From The Diamonds Squad And Bouncing Back (00:51:30) - Quick Fire Questions (00:55:15) - Outro   -   #podcast #netball #sunshinecoastlightning
