Today I am joined by a legend, Jahan Kalantar.Jahan Kalantar is a Sydney-based solicitor, university lecturer, and entrepreneur who describes himself as a ‘little guy lawyer'. He attributes his human rights leanings to his proud Persian heritage, a dislike of bullies and a genuine belief that one person can make a difference.Leaving a successful career in finance in order to pursue law, he was admitted to the NSW Bar Association at the age of 25. Subsequently, he established and became a partner at the firm of Executive Legal where he heads up the serious crime and mental health practice.Jahan is just an awesome guy, he has achieved so much at his age and I found this episode really powerful.He also has built a following sharing legal advice on TikTok with over 400,000 followers which we don't really touch on in the interview, but it has been a very beneficial platform for him.Find JahanWebsite: https://www.jahankalantar.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jahankalantarofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jahankalantar/Everything Byron and Driven Young related go here: https://solo.to/byrondempsey Hosted on Acast.

Justin Martins – JMQ – multi-instrumentalist has a background in the Australian indie scene. Justin has toured internationally as “Our Man in Berlin” who also received heavy TripleJ rotation and support.I met Justin through my best friend Pace and they're such an amazing person. But today on the podcast, whilst we do discuss their music career and journey we also discuss how Justin recently came out as non-binary.Non binary is something I have wanted to explore for a while on this podcast and Justin is the perfect person to do it with in my opinion. They are very open, shared their entire experience and gave me a much deeper understanding and insight into how they felt and identify.I really enjoyed this episode we also talked a lot about masculinity and what being a man is.Follow Justin: https://www.instagram.com/jmqmusic/Byron's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron.dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/ Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

And I highly recommend listening to the entire episode.Today I am joined by Dr Justin Sung. Dr Justin is a former medical doctor turned to learn coach. He's passionate about helping people use genuinely effective learning strategies that work for everyone, not just a few high achievers. Unlike in medicine where your practice has to be tied to research, he realised how the common practices by schools and students weren't as evidence-based as they were hyped to be.He also saw how this directly caused stress, demotivation, procrastination, and anxiety for students who kept putting in effort and didn't see results. Since 2011, Justin has worked with over 10,000 students across over 100 countries. He's the co-founder of iCanStudy, an organisation that specialises in learning skills, and is involved in novel research at Monash University, looking at the effectiveness and efficiency of learning strategies.In this episode we cover his journey in becoming a doctor, what it was like when he quit medicine, the different types of learning and how we can learn effectively. his opinions on the modern education system, growing to 100k on Youtube and much much more.Support the show

She also has a degree in History, has spoken out about sex worker rights, done an Amazing TED talk and is now a published author!This is a bit different from a normal Driven young episode. Of course, it is educational and professional but I know I have young listeners out there so I wanted to make it clear in the intro.This episode is all about the sex work industry. Tilly has been in the industry for close to ten years and she shares her story about how she got into it, what she has learned, how she wrote a book about it, the benefits and downside of sex work, her opinion on only fans and just an overall understanding of what that world is like.This was a very interesting episode for me as I know next to nothing about this industry and space and I felt like I was going in very cold. I learned a lot and have a new perspective on workers in the industry and hopefully, you enjoy this episode.There is some swearing, and we are covering topics such as sex and sex trafficking so please keep that in mind, but as I said this is still an educational episode.Find Tilly:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tilly_lawless/Her Links: https://linktr.ee/tillylawlessByron's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron.dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drivenyoung)

I love doing episodes like this as it is such an important skill and this episode is such a great all-rounder.If you are bad with money, this episode is for you because today I am joined by Lacey Filipich. Saving half of every dollar she received from the age of 10. She bought her first property at 19 years old while in her second year of chemical engineering. She continued investing throughout her 20's, adding shares and more properties to her portfolio to reach financial independence in her early 30's.This isn't rocket science guys. She didn't earn any more money than anyone you know. She didn't invest in crypto or anything fancy. This was done using simple habits, investing long term into relatively safe assets and understanding delayed gratification.Lacey runs a company called Moneyschool.org if you want to check out her free stuff and she also has a fantastic workshop on Student Edge plus who is the sponsor of this episode.
