In this episode of QAV Australia, Cam and Tony navigate a turbulent market buoyed by a temporary rollback in US-China tariffs and a curious rally in Bitcoin. They break down the movements in gold stocks like Perseus (PRU), Ramelius (RMS), and West African Resources (WAF), unpack ANZ's (ANZ) CEO handover and the impact of its Suncorp acquisition, and look into Super Retail Group's (SUL) Q3 results. The episode also features deep dives into the governance concerns at Macquarie (MQG), a bizarrely massive dividend from Healius (HLS), a skeptical look at luxury drop shipper Cettire (CTT), and a pulled pork segment on outdoor advertising player oOh!media (OML). Cam also shares a personal health win, and the duo wraps up with some recommendations, banter, and a little Van Halen nostalgia.

Michelle told Jacqui Felgate she was surprised to learn she wouldn't be able to take out cash at one ANZ branch. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if you learned something new that made you think: 'I wish I had known this 10 YEARS AGO!' How might life, or your opportunities, have been different? A number of my clients have said this exact thing to me about the career strategies they learn in my program... let's dive into why getting a coach earlier - even today - will set you up for success.In this ep, I am exploring how to find out if you'd benefit from working with a coach, like me (or otherwise!)...We are talking ambition, goals, (as well as having neither)...We are talking about feeling stuck, lacking visibility and support...What to expect from an initial call with a coach...And the 3 very tangible reasons why you must NOT wait another month, another week, another day before reaching out to a coach and getting the support you need to succeed!Something I said today:"My coaching niche is two-fold. It's about career strategy first and foremost. What's in it for you? What do you want from the next 12 months or 5 years? It's also about giving you the strategies - and the structure - to help you fast track your career, whether that's fresh opportunities or promotions to leadership or something else entirely that will give you the meaning and stretch you're looking for."

Your team is full of individuals with different values (preferences and styles). The question I am posing today is: do you see merit in, or do you judge, values that are different from your own?I am looking at two different values-preferences today:1. Rational vs Emotional2. Impulsive vs ThoughtfulHow do you identify with each of these paired groups? Are there people in your team with the same preference/ style as you?Are there people in your team with the opposite approach to you?Do you see merit in all approaches or do you judge those that aren't like your own?Are you benefitting from the collective intelligence your team has because of these differences, or not?Something I said today:"As a leader it's important to look at the team as a whole and ask if you're fully utilising your collective intelligence - which means valuing different approaches to solving problems as being equally worthy."

Host: Nadia Cameron - Editor - Marketing | Associate Publisher Short CMO tenure, job complexity, unrealistic expectations of delivery – commonly driven by short-term ultimatums – plus a disconnect on the metrics that matter, are all contributing to a dangerously common misalignment between CMOs and their CEOs and CFO. And it’s a recipe for trouble for marketing leaders wanting to enact strategic growth. That’s the view of four luminaries participating in the latest CMO Awards Podcast episode. All know a thing or two not only about providing marketing’s value as CMOs, but also now sit on the other side of the c-suite: ADMA CEO and former FMCG CMO, Andrea Marten; Lounge Lovers CEO and former Aldi and Westpac marketing chief, Samuel Viney; Adobe director of digital strategy group APAC and former Tourism Australia CFO, John Mackenney; and Seek commercial growth APAC leader and former consumer marketing lead for ANZ and customer chief at Mercer, Cambell Holt. There is an ongoing refrain marketing leaders need to do more to build and demonstrate commercial acumen and their value to the c-suite. And we have a fresh report making the point again: In the latest Gartner survey, only 27% of CEOs and CFOs reported their CMO’s performance exceeded expectations over the past year. Confidence in a CMO's ability to prove the value of marketing to the enterprise is held by just half (54%) of senior executives. Gartner’s survey also found only 34% of CEOs and CFOs agree with CMOs on the role of marketing in supporting growth. And only one in five CEOs and CFOs report receiving significant clarity from their CMO regarding marketing accountabilities. They’re sobering figures, and they’re not in isolation. Viney paints an all-too-common “chicken-and-egg” scenario: New CMO comes into an organisation and is confronted with demands to improve marketing’s performance “after the last person didn’t achieve what we expected”. “When asked if you’re going to be able to do it, the CMO will say of course I am, that’s why I’m here,” Viney comments. “What you get then is two challenges: Number one is you're perhaps being unrealistic with the expectations you're setting … secondly, just understanding the metrics that matter in the context of a new organisation, particularly if you're changing sectors, takes time.” As a former CFO, Mackenney agrees there’s a further translation issue between the language of finance and marketing which he’s constantly coming up against in his current role at Adobe – in fact, he often finds himself being the “CFO whisperer” for marketers. But he doesn’t put all the blame on CMOs. “I think it's incumbent on a lot of CFOs to better understand, actually, what are the levers that the CMO has, really, what are the some of the cost drivers and the benefits drivers there, so we can have a better understanding between two really critical roles in the organisation,” he says. Yet Martens points out we're still seeing many CMOs reporting on outputs like campaign performance instead of strategic business outcomes and things like customer growth, retention, margin, contribution, pricing, power and overall business improvement and business performance. “They're the metrics that, at the end of the day, the CEOs and the CFOs are looking for, and they're the metrics that actually influence the total enterprise value. They're the conversations that are not being had,” she says. Holt agrees CMOs need to do a better job of business-grade insight to align their own ability to deliver value. “Early on, I discovered the best way to align yourself and to create mutual understanding is to take on the task of learning someone else's language, then also take on the task of translation within the marketing function. Don't make it the CFOs challenge to learn your language, learn their language and speak it, and train as many people in your function as a marketing leader to speak the other person's language as well.” This CMO Awards podcast series is hosted by Nadia Cameron, associate publisher and editor of marketing at Mi3, plus program leader for the CMO Awards.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

House prices are set to rise as businesses report less confidence With two further cuts expected to the OCR, ANZ is now expecting a 4.5% lift as opposed to 6%. Business confidence has also taken a tumble, with just 49% expecting improvements in the year ahead – down 9 points. ANZ Chief Economist Sharon Zollner told Mike Hosking the data was taken amid tariffs hitting the markets, impacting business confidence, investment, and employment. She says there may be a hint of a knee-jerk reaction that may not last, but only time will tell. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

27.04.2025 – Der Theologe und Philosoph Dr. David Berger (www.philosophia-perennis.com), der habilitierte Staatsrechtslehrer und Rechtsanwalt Dr. Ulrich Vosgerau sowie der Politologe und Politikberater Robert Willacker diskutieren mit Burkhard Müller-Ullrich über Selfies mit Leiche, über blaue Anzüge und andere Gewänder, über Kopftuch-Polizistinnen als Garanten für Recht und Ordnung, über die heutige Wien-Wahl und den erwarteten Wind of Change, über Wassersteuern und Wohnflächensteuern sowie über den zum Paroxysmus gesteigerten Kampf gegen rechts im Deutschlandfunk.

Bereits 1984 schickte das IT-Unternehmen IBM sein gesamtes Marketing-Team für ein Wochenende auf ein Teamevent in die Wildnis. Ohne Laptops, ohne Anzüge und nur mit Zelten & Kompass ausgestattet, lernte sich das Team neu kennen. So schuf das Event neuen Raum für Gedanken, Ideen und Innovationen, die die Produktentwicklung enorm voran brachten. Was ein Teamevent erfolgreich macht und wie es zielführend eingesetzt wird, wollen wir heute gemeinsam herausfinden.Hier kommt ihr zu unserer angesprochenen Folge zu unserem Boss-Tausch

Australia's big five banks – ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, Macquarie Group, NAB and Westpac – have all committed to limiting or cutting financing to fossil fuel projects that they feel are not aligned to achieving a net zero future.This requires a lot of work on several fronts, and for investors it's about understanding how realistic the success of such initiatives is – but the data just isn't up to scratch. While our banks are performing well in terms of reporting on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, there's far less transparency around Scope 3 emissions, or their financed emissions.U Ethical stewardship manager and friend of the podcast Rachel Alembakis joins Financial Standard managing editor Jamie Williamson to discuss why the fund manager is so committed to collaborating with Australia's big banks to ensure alignment with the Paris Agreement and improve data accuracy and transparency.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

This is the topic for today's episode, coming in HOT! It is the joint responsibility of both you and your organisation to make sure you succeed. It is 100% the case that if you don't take control of your own career and its outcomes, no-one else will do it for you... Equally, your organisation should be taking proactive steps to make sure you have everything you need in place to succeed and thrive.Today I am sharing 11 different questions you can ask yourself to check in and see if you are indeed setting yourself up (and being set up) to succeed.This is a MUST-LISTEN if you're serious about your career!Something I said today:"You don't want to find yourself in a role that is a metaphorical 'glass cliff' : a role that was never setting you up to be successful from the outset."

ANZ is speculating interest rates will drop lower than previously expected - as the economy is predicted to need extra help to recover. The bank believes the OCR will bottom out at 2.5 percent, down from the 3 percent low that was previously predicted. ANZ chief economist Sharon Zollner says it's likely the Reserve Bank will give the economy an additional 'push in the back' to help boost a recovery. "It's too soon to make any concrete judgements on what might happen to our commodity prices or anything like that - but it does seem pretty likely that some pretty full-on uncertainty is going to persist for quite a long time."

The Government has introduced legislation that could see more than 150,000 mortgage holders miss out on hundreds of millions in compensation for mistakes made by ANZ and ASB.

Economists are agreeing on where they think today's Official Cash Rate will land. They expect a 25 basis point cut to the OCR, down from 3.75%. ANZ Chief Economist Sharon Zollner told Mike Hosking there's a risk the Reserve Bank opts for a different strategy after the US tariff announcement.

In this 3-part series I am going to be sharing the major systemic barriers to women progressing in their careers: today we are talking about The Bias Barrier.Bias can be unconscious (and conscious) and is a key factor underpinning the slowness of progress in seeing more women rise to positions of leadership and power.In this episode, I'm talking about three key factors:1. Affinity bias - the reason why many male leaders hire more men with similar experiences and backgrounds as them2. Loyalty bias - the assumption that women will remain loyal to their organisations, even if they are continuously overlooked for promotion3. Common assumptions made about women's needs and career aspirations, that are often wrongSomething I said today:"Bias occurs throughout the entire lifecycle of a women's career: from recruitment, professional development opportunities to promotion, mentoring advice and compensation discussions - at every career transaction, qualified women can be side-lined."

In this 3-part series I am going to be sharing the major systemic barriers to women progressing in their careers: today we are talking about The Culture Barrier.Most STEM and Financial environments remain heavily male dominated and it can have an impact on those organisations being able to hire and retain key female talent.In this episode, I'm talking about three key factors:1. The emotional impact of being one of a few women in a male dominated culture2. The fact that these working environments often fail to play to women's strengths and values3. Male dominated leadership teams provide little to no female mentorship and role modelling opportunities for women working earlier in the pipelineSomething I said today:"Male dominated working cultures don't need to be at that 'hostile or intimidating extreme' to exclude women still. By their very nature, these environments can be unwelcoming and impart that feeling in women that they don't belong here."

Goddess of Blood, Sex Magick, and Integrity In this episode, I give you all the goods on Dark Goddess Lilith! This is my masterclass, that, in the past, has only been available to my Magical Menees! In this episode you'll find A condensed exploration of her energy and how I channel and offer work with her. The idea that there is no right way to be a witch, and spirituality is an infinite spectrum. A baseline and container for understanding Lilith and working with her. Who is Lilith? Lilith is a goddess associated with blood, sex magick, equity, the oppressed, fertility, seduction, shamelessness, the "villain era," and integrity. She is often depicted as the first woman, created as an equal partner to Adam. Lilith's Origin Story: Equal Creation: Lilith was created from earth, just as Adam was, signifying her equality. Refusal and Exile: She refused to be subservient to Adam, specifically in the context of sexual relations, and chose exile from Eden rather than compromise her integrity. Demonization: Lilith's legacy was demonized because she asserted her equality and desires. She was labeled the "mother of all demons." Multiple Narratives: Queen of Sheba: In some traditions, she is identified with the Queen of Sheba. Divine Counterpart: She is also seen as the feminine counterpart to God, the Matronit, embodying both light and dark aspects. Guardian of Children: Despite her demonized image, some stories portray her as a goddess of fertility and a protector of children. Lilith's Message: Lilith's story is a reclamation of her full being. She represents a woman who defied patriarchal expectations and choose integrity over conformity. She is a fierce nurturer committed to fostering empowered individuals. She demands to be heard and values truth above all else. Lilith and Eve: One narrative suggests that Lilith was the serpent in the Garden of Eden, offering Eve the fruit of wisdom to liberate her from subservience. This highlights Lilith's commitment to female empowerment and equality. Lilith's Energies and Associations: Jungian Psychology: Lilith represents the dark subconscious, the Anima, and is central to shadow work. Seasons: Spring and Fall, reflecting themes of sex, fertility, rebirth, and underworld journeys. Elements: Air and Fire. Colors: Red, Black, and Lavender. Symbols: Owl, Snake, Anzû (a storm-bird demon), Dragon. The Dark Goddess Archetype: Lilith is a dark goddess, challenging conventional notions of "good" and "light." Dark goddesses encourage us to embrace our full selves, including the parts that society deems unacceptable. They disrupt, challenge, and refuse to conform. The Left-Hand Path: While often associated with "dark magic," the left-hand path, in the context of Lilith, represents sovereignty and independence. It's about bowing to no one but oneself.
