If I were to think of two words that describe this podcast's main themes, they would be "courage" and "preparation".Preparation - so that we can feel ready to adapt to what happens in the room, a feeling of, "I/the group have got this -- Whatever happens!" Courage is about taking the opportunity, saying yes to when we feel like we're not just ready yet. With the emergence of Clubhouse and launch of audio-only rooms across platforms like Twitter and Facebook, how do you create an environment where people have the courage to come off mute? How can you create an inclusive conversation, when you can't see people and pick up on their body language?There's no one better to riff on this topic than the CEO of Australia's first audio agency. Yes, he loves audio more than I do!My guest today is Ronsley Vaz. Ronsley is the reason I started this podcast. I went to his We Are Podcast event in Brisbane in Nov 2017, without any intention of starting a podcast. Three months later, First Time Facilitator was launched into the world. This interview was a ton of fun to record, at Ronsley's home studio in Brisbane and I'm so glad I could share a full-circle moment with all of you.Ronsley has recently started identifying himself as a facilitator but I placed him in that bucket a long time ago. He has an insane ability to connect, bring people together, and make magic happen.Ronsley is a keynote speaker, author and business leader. He is the author of the book AMPLIFY – How to raise your voice, boost your brand and grow yourbusiness. He is on the board for freetoshine.org, an organisation that prevents children from being sex trafficked. His TEDx Talk which was made a TED talk in 2020, “The Perfect Recipe for a Deep Conversation”, touches on his passion of exploring the world through his voice, and the voices of others.Ronsley has an MBA in Psychology and Leadership and a Master's in Software Engineering as well as a Diploma in Financial Services. His show The Psychology of Entrepreneurship, ‘Bond Appetit' podcast and ‘Should I Start a Podcast? have reached over 4 million listeners in 133 countries.

If you've listened to this show before, then you know my story. But if not, this interview is a good overview of what I do and how I got here. Andrew asks me about Bond Appetit, a podcast I was able to generate a 1.5 million listener base for in about 4.5 months. I don't tell you about this to brag, but as an example of how quickly success can come in the podcasting world. But yes, I'm aware that this isn't the average result. In fact, many podcasts don't even make it past their first episode. I don't want either of these extremes to encourage or discourage you, just to make you aware of the reality of podcasting. Andrew and I also chat about what kind of businesses benefit from podcasts. And we focus on the things you need to be clear on before starting your show.

It can be scary to say what you're thinking, especially in today’s divided world. We can’t let the divisiveness that surrounds us stop us from speaking our minds. It’s natural to be afraid, but say it anyway. Be courageous. Speaking your truth gives the people around you the unspoken permission to do the same. And that is powerful. Your voice matters. WELCOME TO THE DARIN OLIEN SHOW, On this podcast, you'll hear me, Darin Olien, "the superfood hunter," have inspiring and enlightening conversations with extraordinary people from all walks of life. Although our ideas and approaches to life may differ, our ultimate goal is the same- to save the planet one conversation at a time. If you're interested in expanding your view of the world by learning new perspectives on health, nutrition and healing the planet, and want to learn more about society's Fatal Conveniences™- the things we may be doing because the world we live in makes us believe we have to, even though they may be doing harm- then this is the podcast for you. Ronsley Vaz knows a thing or two about speaking his mind. I am so excited to introduce this episode’s guest to you. Ronsley Vaz is the curator of the first audio marketing agency in the world, Must Amplify. Ronsley and his team produce this podcast for me, but he does a whole lot more than that. Ronsley helps people find their voice, and then he amplifies it. Podcasting is so much more than having a conversation with someone you find interesting. It’s a way to get your perspective out into the world, and have others hear it and apply it to their own lives. It allows your listeners to learn from you, while you’re learning from them, and your guests. It’s such a full-circle way to bounce ideas off of like-minded, and not-so-like-minded people in order to see things in a new light. Ronsley knows all of this, but he didn’t always. Ronsley started his business journey so far away from the world of podcasting, it might as well have been in another universe. In 2013, his dream of owning and running a restaurant had failed miserably- and left him almost $500,000 in debt. He didn’t stay down for long though, and quickly started a new business venture- connecting talented chefs with time-poor entrepreneurs who needed a little help preparing healthy meals for the week. This then led to starting his own podcast, Bond Appetit, which quickly gained an audience of over 1 million listeners in under 4 months and became Australia’s #1 food podcast. The technical side of podcast creation was the easy part for Ronsley, so he was puzzled when others came to him for help starting their own podcasts. Then he had a lightbulb moment. Realizing he may have something to offer, he began selling courses on how to start your own podcast. It worked. He was able to pay off his massive restaurant debt in just over two years. The success of these courses led to his greatest project yet- Amplify, the world’s first audio marketing agency. Ronsley and his team help others find their voices, and he gives them a platform in which to amplify it. He’s done it for me- The Darin Olien Show is proof! In this conversation, we get into the importance of speaking your mind. Being courageous enough to put your truth out into the world is never arrogant. It’s critical, especially now, to understand why your voice matters. Ronsley tells us all about starting his successful business and how it led to creating We Are Podcast, the southern hemisphere’s first podcast conference. He also gives us some scoop on his passion project, the audio docuseries The Psychology of Entrepreneurship. You’re not going to want to miss this one. Other great bits in this episode: Ronsley’s story of starting and naming Amplify Why starting a podcast came easy for him The whirlwind of Bond Appetit What sparked We Are Podcast Why Ronsley was surprised people wanted to hear his voice The difference between being fearless and courageous The two things putting your voice out there gives you the ability to do This episode’s Fatal Conveniences™ topic: Being Dishonest Links: Must Amplify Ronsley on LinkedIn Ronsley on Instagram Ronsley on Twitter Ronsley’s TedX Talk Ronsley’s Book: Amplify: How to Raise Your Voice, Boost Your Brand, and Grow Your Business Listen to The Psychology of Entrepreneurship Netflix ‘Down To Earth’ Official Trailer Download Darin’s amazing new lifestyle app and get 3 days free at 121Tribe.com Barukas Nuts 15% discount with code “DARIN” The Darin Olien Show is produced by the team at Must Amplify.

He has started and run his own fresh food restaurant specialising in uniquely flavoured food, and also worked in a big kitchen as part of a brigade of chefs.

Ronsley is a software technical expert, a personal chef, and a serial idea creator.
On this episode of Rhodes to Success, I interview Ronsley Vaz, who is the chief food sharer at Bond Appetit, a company that unites people over food. He is the host of Australia's number one food podcast on iTunes and the author of the upcoming book Fuel: Uniting Peak Performers Over Food. During the show, we discuss sharing meals, entrepreneurs and gratitude, essentialism, podcasting, and ‘soapboxisodes.' Main Questions Asked: - Talk about sharing food and the impact that has on families and relationships. - How did you come to take Bond Appetit and niche it to entrepreneurs? - What bad habits and traits do you see with the entrepreneurs you cook for that are holding them back? - Talk about podcasting, what it has done for your business, and how you're leveraging it. - Tell us about Podcast Revolution. Key Lessons Learned: Meet Ronsley - Ronsley cooks for entrepreneurs and provides them food, but sees it more as a service to provide time. - He has been cooking professionally for more than nineteen years and started to run his own fresh food restaurants specializing in uniquely flavored food. - Ronsley focuses on entrepreneurs and people who are high achievers but don't have the time, mental space, or energy to focus on cooking and eating well. Sharing Meals - The importance of sharing can be seen with the move toward the sharing economy. E.g. Uber, AirBnB. - We forget the connection made around the table when sharing a meal with someone. - When sharing a meal, it is important to keeping the distractions away and keeping the conversation focused on each other. - When we stop to eat, our body gets ready to digest. - Based on a study of families that ate together at least once per week, there was no sign of depression with teenage kids in the family. Entrepreneurs and Gratitude - High achieving entrepreneurs often write daily in a gratitude journal. - Exercise: make a list of 100 things you are grateful for. Essentialism - This is the discipline pursuit of less and doing the things we are good at and love to do, while not doing the other things and pretending to be busy. - We are always taught to look at our weaknesses and make them better, but not taught to recognize our strengths and focus on them. - Focus on your strengths and delegate the rest. - Figure out what you don't like to do and takes up your time so you can outsource and use that time to either work on revenue generating business activities or spend time with your family. Making Change With The Auditory - The auditory sense is the first sense we develop in our mother's womb and is how we communicate with our parents. - All change in human history points back to a point in time when a speech was made that changed a group of people's minds. - Today, we have the ability to create our own personal movements on passions and have the hardware to create change in our pocket. Podcasting - As a PR tool, Ronsley finds podcasting to be more effective than spending thousands of dollars on a PR campaign. - It's important for businesses to go to where people are looking at your message. - Create a podcast, get guests to talk about things you're interested in, become the center point where the information is gathered. - Podcasts are great for analytics, as you can trace how many people have been on your show and how many people listen to it. - Podcasting is speaking to a niched audience and can be done with very little financial investment. - Relationships formed through podcasting with guests and listeners are extremely powerful.
