    AI Is Coming for You - Jason Coggins | Authentic Intelligence EP03

    The full episode is out now: https://youtu.be/uUuGvhke11c “AI is coming for you, and every industry will be impacted.” Jason Coggins has spent twenty-five years in investment research. In Episode 03 of Authentic Intelligence, Johnny Shin asks him where the next opportunities are, and he doesn’t soften the answer. He explains why he could be the one who loses his job to a colleague who uses AI. He expects an absolute bloodbath for legacy software, particularly in the US, with a horrific next default cycle. He thinks Australian property can correct further than people expect. And he calls small companies, private and public, his biggest bullish bet. Authentic Intelligence with Johnny Shin - not what people built, but who they had to become to build it. Instagram: @authenticintelligencejs Johnny Shin: @johnnyshin.au #ai #investing #leadership

    EP02: Andrej Maletic - Who Are You Beyond the Business?

    You can sell the business. Working out who you are without it is a different journey. In Episode 02 of Authentic Intelligence, Johnny Shin sits down with his former Merrimac State High School classmate Andrej Maletic, founder of Go Raw Desserts, co-founder of Dezigner.ai and CEO of the Kokoda Youth Foundation. Andrej’s journey began in Croatia and took him through Germany to Australia. He went from corporate life at Michael Hill to building Go Raw Desserts from local farmers’ markets into a nationally distributed brand. When the company sold, Andrej and his wife, Jessie, took time to travel, reconnect with family and consider what they wanted the next chapter of their lives to look like. In this conversation: • Moving from Croatia to Australia and learning to adapt • Leaving corporate certainty to build Go Raw Desserts • Choosing quality and integrity when the financial cost was significant • Reframing rejection by understanding the value you offer • Selling a business that had become part of your identity • Marriage, communication and Jessie’s contribution behind the scenes • The story of the Love Ball • Building Dezigner.ai and using AI without surrendering your own judgement • Andrej’s full-circle return to the Kokoda Youth Foundation • Preparing for fatherhood, giving back and leaving something for the next generation This is a conversation about more than what Andrej built. It is about who he had to become along the way, the people who shared the journey and what he chose to carry into the next chapter. Not artificial. Authentic. Conversations about leadership, wealth and the human decisions behind success, with Johnny Shin. Follow @authenticintelligencejs for episode highlights and future conversations.

    Michael Tassis: How Adversity Shaped the Man | Episode 1

    Michael Tassis has built and operated more than a dozen restaurants and venues across Brisbane. But the story behind that success began inside his family’s restaurant, where he learned early that hospitality is ultimately about people. In the first episode of Authentic Intelligence, Johnny Shin sits down with Michael for an honest conversation about the experiences that shaped both the businessman and the man. Having known Michael personally and professionally for more than a decade, Johnny explores the story behind the public success. From growing up around the family restaurant and training as a chef, to being encouraged into front of house by a father who saw something more in him, Michael shares how family, hard work and service laid the foundations for everything that followed. They also explore the pressure of building a hospitality group, the difficult years that tested him, the team that stood beside him, the role of faith and family, and the lessons Michael hopes his children will one day carry forward. Authentic Intelligence with Johnny Shin explores wealth, leadership and the human decisions behind success. This conversation is for general discussion and educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice.
