Animated Living Ian Freestone

Interested in having a successful online business? Or maybe you just want to live life in a healthier, happier way. Ian Freestone and business entrepreneur James Schramko from Superfast Business discuss the critical ingredients for both these things in this final episode for 2021.

From 10 years of age the "elusive night Parrot" had fired John Young's imagination. "What if.....??" And so, later in life, one of Australia's best known bushmen, set out on a quest to find a living Night Parrot and to prove its existence to others. This story is that quest.

This interview would not have been possible without the trusted friendship between John Young and President of Rotary Parkes, Robert Shore.

As we move from crisis to “learn to live with the virus” it begs the question, “how do you simply do life?” Because, like it or not, crises are a fact of life and our unique personal challenges make global issues insignificant (for us, at that time). Catherine DeVrye was twice voted Australian Keynote Speaker of the Year, has been Australian Executive Woman of the Year and is a #1 best-selling author on customer service, change, teamwork and resilience. Here she discusses with Ian Freestone how her own personal crises caused her to mine those experiences for treasures that can now be passed onto others.  

Ian Sheppard is 4WD expert. Working with Great Divide Tours in Braidwood, Southern NSW, Ian trains corporate clients (emergency services, military personnel, and others), as well as the regular ‘mums and dads’  He has helped to lead ‘tag along’ 4WD expeditions right around the country and overseas. A skilled bushman with a heart for adventure, Ian’s inspiration and advice come at a perfect time for those of us preparing to jump in our cars and ‘go bush’ for our next holiday.

Change is never instant, but it is possible. The "big three" - sleep, diet and exercise, are not only integrated with each other but impact upon the whole of life. Small simple consistent steps in the right direction lead to lasting habit formation and change. Ian Freestone's 5 keys will help along the way.

“Strength”, “Resilience”, “Compassion”. These three words sum up Libby Bleakley. Libby served with the NSW Police Force for 19 years with a special focus in helping victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Libby then served with the Australian Federal Police in remote indigenous communities in the Northern Territory, before being deployed to work with the U.N police, firstly in Sudan and then East Timor (Timor Leste). Libby’s interview with Ian Freestone is a beautiful, honest and inspiring story of how personal and national crises can yield transformative and positive outcomes.
