You were trained to think psychology equals therapy chair. To believe "business skills" are something other people have. To accept that your expertise stops at the consulting room door.But what if everything you've been told about your limitations is wrong?In this game-changing conversation, I sit down with Carly Fisher — registered psychologist, government executive, board director, and living proof that therapists possess the exact skills businesses pay consultants millions for.Carly went from a 190-person therapy waitlist in rural Australia to making strategic decisions for million-dollar organisations. She didn't get an MBA to "fix" her psychology background — she got it to amplify the superpowers she already had.If you've ever thought "I'm just a therapist — I don't have business skills" — this conversation will shatter every limiting belief you've been carrying.In this episode, we discuss:Why a 190-person waitlist became a strategic career pivot instead of overwhelming pressureThe MBA decision: building credibility to sit at tables where million-dollar decisions get madeThe 4 superpowers every therapist has that businesses desperately need (but don't know how to ask for)Why case formulation is strategic planning in disguiseThe ethical line between therapy and executive coachingStep-by-step pathway from therapy practice to organisational consultingThe biggest mistakes therapists make when transitioning to business workThe Four Therapist Superpowers:Analytical skills and objectivity — evidence-based decisions under pressureAdapting to change — constant pivoting and resilienceInfluencing and persuading — reading humans and adjusting in real-timeRisk assessment and control — identifying problems before they explodeBottom Line: You don't need to learn new skills. You need to learn how to translate the ones you already have.

“People think of tariffs and duties as just shipping line items—but they're reshaping boardroom strategy.” — Noa Sussman, TecEx In this installment of the TecEx podcast series, Noa Sussman returns to help listeners navigate the rapidly evolving—and often misunderstood—world of tariffs, duties, and VAT. Hosted by Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, this session pulls back the curtain on the taxes and trade terms that are quietly impacting IT budgets, deployment timelines, and global expansion strategies. “We've reached a point where the C-suite needs to understand the difference between a tariff and a duty,” says Sussman. “These aren't just accounting line items anymore. They're strategic levers that can affect profitability, market timing, and compliance risk.” TecEx provides not just shipping services, but end-to-end strategic support for global IT deployments, acting as the “importer of record” in over 200 jurisdictions. In this episode, Sussman breaks down: What VAT really is and how it's recoverable along the supply chain—but a major cash flow issue at customs if unplanned. How duties differ from VAT and why they are used to protect domestic industries from foreign competition. Why tariffs are political tools, not just trade policies—and how they're weaponized in global disputes. Why compliance isn't optional and how recent export control failures have landed executives in legal trouble. Using real-world examples, Sussman shows how companies can lose margin—or worse, face legal issues—simply by failing to plan early. “We're not just problem solvers after things go wrong,” he emphasizes. “We're strategic partners who can help you avoid the problem in the first place.” Key takeaway: Don't wait until a shipment is stuck at customs. Engage with experts like TecEx before contracts are signed and pricing is set. Taxes, duties, tariffs, and compliance must now be factored into the earliest stages of international planning.

Give to help Chris make Truce. A little goes a long way! In November of 1965, a young lawyer published a book called Unsafe at Any Speed about the dangers of driving a Chevy Corvair. The car could become unstable and possibly flip if driven in poor conditions or without proper training. The lawyer? Ralph Nader. It took a while for the book to find its audience, but soon it was on bookshelves across the US and made a celebrity our of Nader. Soon he and his "Nader's Raiders" were on a spree, advocating for consumer safety. This movement was met with skepticism and fear in the industrial community. Who did this guy think he was? Americans didn't need "big government" looking over their shoulders! Well, that's what big corporate leaders thought. They set out to dismantle the consumer safety movement and to convince conservative religious people that safety was actually creeping government interference. My special guest for this episode is Rick Perlstein, author of The Invisible Bridge and Reaganland.

Picture this: You're told to ditch the hat if you want to be taken seriously. Instead, you double down, wear it louder—and your business explodes. In this juicy episode of Communication Queens, Kimberly Spencer sits down with Jamar Jones, founder of FourEva Media, for a no-BS conversation on how owning your vibe is the ultimate visibility strategy. From his hip hop roots to headlining keynote stages (yes, sometimes with a live performance), Jamar breaks down why 1,000 true fans are worth more than a million random likes—and how congruence is the secret sauce to building a magnetic personal brand. Together, they unpack: What “branding from the inside out” really means Why your childhood dreams and cringe moments are branding gold How falling on your ass (literally) can skyrocket your relatability When it's time to hire professionals to elevate your aesthetic The energetic difference between a business brand vs. personal brand Whether you're stepping out from behind the biz curtain or ready to stop blending in, this convo is your permission slip to get louder, weirder, and way more YOU—because the world doesn't need another copycat. It needs your story, your sparkle, and yes… your hat. Grab your mic, Queen. Let's brand from the soul.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Jorge Olson—author, marketer, and entrepreneur who has launched over 1,000 consumer products and helped take five companies public. But today's conversation isn't about profit margins—it's about mental stamina, healing through Tai Chi, and redefining success after trauma. Jorge shares his journey from growing up in poverty in Tijuana to surviving multiple traumatic brain injuries and discovering how breathwork, meditation, and time control became his ultimate assets. A powerful listen for anyone juggling ambition with burnout. About the Guest:Jorge Olson is a serial entrepreneur, bestselling author of Marketing Karma and Build Your Beverage Empire, and a creative force in branding, writing, and product innovation. He's raised over $100 million in capital and is a board member for an AI company. But Jorge's true mastery lies in integrating mindfulness and purpose into business—especially after facing chronic pain and neurological challenges from brain injuries. His story embodies resilience, reinvention, and radical self-awareness. Key Takeaways: Tai Chi isn't just graceful—it's mentally demanding and creatively empowering. Brain injuries shifted Jorge's approach from hustle to healing, turning meditation into necessity. Energy management is crucial; Jorge avoids distractions like emails and calls to protect his creative state. Success without sanity is meaningless—true wealth is measured in time, not money.
