    How to Actually Use AI In Your Business in 2026 - Luke Heka (Full Breakdown) #155

    Every kit Luke built for this episode is free. Nine of them, ready to copy straight into Claude Code or Code X. The Operating System kit alone gives you a personalised CLAUDE.md rulebook, five playbooks for planning and delegation, and a starter memory that carries across sessions. There's a website builder, connection kits for the software you already run, and six more. Grab the lot here: https://drops.selrai.com.au/bothsidesIs Is everything you've been told about AI in business wrong? Most owners are paying for AI agents that do nothing, while the tool that actually works sits unopened on their laptop. Luke Heka is the founder of Selr AI, a Gold Coast development team that's been putting AI systems inside Australian businesses since 2021. From one-man operations to companies with hundreds of staff. He's not a content creator and he's not a consultant. He builds the systems and installs them, and in this episode he gives away the setup he normally charges for. In this episode, he explains: ▪ Why the people selling you AI agents are running something far simpler underneath ▪ How to turn YouTube into a brain that thinks like any expert you name ▪ What Claude Code actually costs to run - and the $8,000 nobody mentions ▪ How one trade business went from three-day quotes to forty minutes ▪ The single process in your company worth automating first ▪ The one thing he refuses to let AI anywhere near Follow this episode's guest:Luke Heka Connect with Luke:LinkedIn - Luke Heka Selr AI:Website - selrai.com.auInstagram - @selr__aiLinkedIn - Selr AIFacebook - Selr AI Get every AI shortcut Luke shared:drops.selrai.com.au/bothsides This episode was filmed at Selr Studio:Instagram - @selr.studio Bothsides:Website - www.bothsides.auFollow the show - @bothsides_podcast Follow Dan:@daniel_beardall Bothsides Buyers Agency:Instagram - @bothsidesbuyersagencyWebsite - bothsidesbuyersagency.com.au Listen & subscribe:YouTube - @bothsidespodcastSpotify - Listen hereApple Podcasts - Listen here

    10 Lessons From Interviewing 8 & 9-Figure Founders

    Marty Fox. Jack Delosa. Graeme Holm. Jack Henderson. Marcus Chiminello. Gavin Rubinstein. Sam Gordon. Over 150 episodes with some of the best in Australian property and business, and ten lessons that changed my business and how I work. A vision only works once it is actually yours. Grow by fixing the next problem in front of you, not by chasing size. Teaching beats selling. People buy from who they know, so build the name first. Charging more, and charging it upfront, changes who you end up working with. Where you spend your time matters more than how disciplined you are. Know your numbers or you are guessing. Get better before you try to be different. The people who build things decide quickly and move. And the detail is not part of the job, it is the job. Ten lessons, where each one came from, and how to use them. Take one and use it this week.

    Teal: How To Master Your Mind, Know Your Worth & Become Successful - #153

    Why do the most successful people seem to operate on something other than logic alone? Psychic Teal breaks down how she believes the mind can actually be rewired — through psilocybin, breath work, and stillness — to quiet the ego, strengthen intuition, and change the way you think and perceive life. She also explains what claircognizance actually is, why she believes self-worth is the strongest predictor of success she's seen across hundreds of readings, and how she pulled herself out of a live anxiety attack using nothing but her breath. Teal is a psychic and intuitive healer specializing in claircognizance, energy healing, and plant medicine facilitation. A former corporate lawyer, she now hosts healing retreats and ceremonies internationally and is based in the Northern Rivers, Australia. She explains:◾ Why she believes self-mastery means learning to weave your logical mind and your intuition together◾ How psilocybin can rewire the brain in real time to change deep-seated behavior◾ How she stopped a live anxiety attack using breath work alone◾ Why she believes self-worth is the strongest predictor of business success◾ Why the ego is loud and hasty, while intuition is quiet and easy to miss Follow this episode's guest:Tealtealsoulsacredbreathoflife.org Bothsides:Website - www.bothsides.au Follow the show - @bothsides_podcast Follow Dan:@daniel_beardall Bothsides Buyers Agency: Instagram - @bothsidesbuyersagency Website - bothsidesbuyersagency.com.au Listen & subscribe: YouTube - @bothsidespodcast Spotify - Listen here Apple Podcasts - Listen here

    Commando Steve: What The Army Taught Me About Winning At Life - #152

    On The Biggest Loser there was a yellow line, and Steve Willis says the moment a contestant fell below it their fight was no longer in their hands, it went to a vote. He uses it as the whole argument: do the work while the decisions are still yours to make. Steve "Commando" Willis spent more than ten years in the Australian Army, including selection into 4 RAR when it was re-tasked as a commando unit, and nine years as a trainer on The Biggest Loser. He now runs a gym in Rouse Hill with his partner Harika. What you will learn: - Why recruits had their socks measured with a ruler, and what that has to do with being handed a weapon - The one degree bearing analogy he uses instead of telling people to overhaul their lives - His order of operations for change: awareness first, then competency, then confidence - Why he says the 3am wake up posts are nonsense, and what preparedness actually looks like - What he thinks stopped The Biggest Loser being made, and what the show got wrong about obesity Chapters 00:00 The yellow line, and the day your fight stops being yours 04:01 Joining at 18, and how infantry chose him instead 08:02 Malaysia, 1996, and the selection nobody saw coming 12:02 Socks measured with a ruler, and why you have to earn the rifle 16:03 Life is indifferent. The meaning is the one you bring 24:05 Twenty two years of CrossFit, and meeting his match 32:10 Awareness, then competency, then confidence 36:10 An hour and ten minutes of burpees, and the resistance you bring yourself 44:14 Training in a park in the cold, and the trouble with comfort 48:18 Counterterrorism training, and learning to work inside disruption 55:02 Why awareness is a double edged sword 1:05:02 Coaching people whose lives had already fallen apart 1:10:03 We are for the few 1:15:03 Draw a line in the sand, then forgive yourself 1:20:03 What happens when you stop eating until midday 1:25:04 Why the show would not be made today 1:30:07 The 3am wake up posts, and the preparedness nobody films 1:37:31 Dumbbells in a four wheel drive, and a gym built in lockdown 1:54:05 Be a good person, and be careful who talks you out of things 1:59:36 At 50, learning about money for the first time One idea a week from these conversations, written up properly and sent to your inbox.

    It's time to share my story...

    In this episode, I turn the mic on myself... Issy sits down with me to unpack where my drive really comes from, starting with the day everything changed. I was 7 years old, standing at the end of a hospital bed, watching my dad on life support. That moment became the reference point for everything after it. Growing up with a single mum and real financial pressure taught me to associate safety and security with hard-won effort, and it pushed me into a kind of survival mode I didn't fully understand until much later. We talk about how that early loss shaped my ambition, why I've spent years chasing personal development (from Tony Robbins seminars to mentors who became like family) and the health struggles (physical and otherwise) that came from carrying stress I never really processed as a kid. It's not the usual podcast format, and it's a bit more exposed than I'm used to, but if any part of my journey helps you make sense of your own, then it's done its job. Let me know in the comments if you want more episodes like this. Just me, my story, my takes. Happy to keep going deeper if there's interest.
