In this episode of "The Money Mentor," G sits down with Liv and Jamie, and this one is a lot of fun - full of honesty, humour and some damn good advice. Liv and Jamie are two youngbusiness owners who have been on a wild ride since they found Infinity sixteen months ago. From the outside, their lavish lifestyle looked picture perfect. But their business books told a different story, and the numbers were scary.Over $627,000 in bad debt and a $155,000 overdraft maxed to the limit, the couple felt caught in quicksand with no way out. They had no common goals, no transparency and communication around finances was non-existent - and with the financial tension growing, something had to give. Then Liv found Infinity, and with it the advice and structure they desperately needed. Now, with the overdraft wiped, credit cards gone and toys sold, they have a shared budget andgoals in place. $382,000 of debt has been cleared and the couple now have three investment properties in their corner. Jamie opens up to G about taking brutally honest feedback on board and making big changes - and Liv could not beprouder. They also put G on the spot, asking for his take on building a life and a business alongside a partner, drawing on his own journey with Bec. Spoiler - he delivers. Liv and Jamie are just getting started - and now they have a whole community behind them to help them keep it real.

In this episode of "The Money Mentor," Donovan and Steph join Rachel for an unfiltered conversation - honest, funny, and at times hilarious - and above all, inspiring. Before settling down, they were free-spirited travellers who lived well and spent freely - and when kids came along, the habits didn't change much. After fifteen years of strong FIFO income, they had very little to show for it. What nagged at Donovan was watching his own parents fall back into mortgage debt in their fifties - he knew he wanted to build security for his family's financial future but had no idea where to start. Then they found Infinity and connected instantly with Graeme's straight-talking style and the logic of the Infinity way. The mindset shift was swift and the results followed - debt cleared within weeks, a financial plan that could weather life's surprises, and a property portfolio now sitting at two million dollars with $800,000 in equity. But the transformation didn't stop there. Steph has found her way into meaningful work she genuinely loves, and Donovan has embraced the Infinity community wholeheartedly - completing 60 Strong and arriving at a version of himself he's proud to show off at the gym. Two people, fully committed, living proof that the right shift in thinking changes everything.

When a child exhibits behavioral challenges, facial recession, or struggles with sleep, the root cause is frequently hiding in plain sight: their breathing habits. Unfortunately, these vital signs of compromised airway health are often overlooked by traditional medical models.In this episode, Hallie sits down with Dr. Leslie Pasco, an expert in airway health, pediatric development, and the author of The Great Contraction. Dr. Pasco breaks down the profound impact that mouth breathing, poor jaw development, and tongue-ties have on a child's long-term physical and neurological growth.About the Guest: Dr. Leslie Pasco, DMD, OFM, CBBIDr. Leslie Pasco is the visionary founder and President of MyoWay Centers for Kids. With almost three decades of experience in dentistry, Dr. Pasco has dedicated her career to understanding how airway health and muscle function deeply influence growth, sleep, learning, and overall health in children. Rather than simply addressing surface symptoms, she emphasizes early screening, thorough functional assessments, and close collaboration with other healthcare professionals to ensure her young patients receive truly comprehensive care. Her clear, driving mission is to help children grow right, breathe right, and live better.Key Topics & TakeawaysMouth Breathing as a Danger Signal: Why mouth breathing should never be dismissed as a "phase," and how it actively derails midface growth, jaw position, and dental alignment.The ADHD & Sleep Link: How sleep-disordered breathing frequently mimics or exacerbates symptoms of ADHD, leading to misdiagnoses that could be resolved with airway support.A Call for Holistic Care: Understanding the environmental stressors driving facial recession and contraction, and why true patient healing requires organic, multidisciplinary collaboration.Soundbites"Mouth breathing is a danger signal. It is your body's emergency backup system, not a functional way for a growing child to live and develop.""Breathing therapy can change lives. When you restore nasal breathing and correct sleep architecture, you aren't just changing a habit—you're shifting a child's entire behavioral and developmental trajectory.""Holistic care requires collaboration. No single provider can fix a contracted airway or a system-wide dysfunction completely on their own."Timestamps 00:00 - The Impact of Airway Health on Families01:12 - Introducing Dr. Leslie Pasco02:20 - Shifting from General Dentistry to Airway Care07:23 - The Dangers of Chronic Mouth Breathing12:04 - ADHD Misdiagnosis vs. Sleep Disordered Breathing19:02 - The Connection Between Palatal Expansion and Myofunctional Therapy28:44 - Functional Assessments for Tethered Oral Tissues (Tongue & Lip Ties)30:53 - The Critical Role of Pre-Op and Post-Op Preparation for Releases44:00 - What is the Buteyko Breathing Method?

In this episode of "The Money Mentor," we speak to Belinda and Josef, two hardworking parents who, despite good incomes, found themselves caught in the refinancing trap, their home loan growing heavier year after year. No savings, no investments, and a bank eager to refinance them into another thirty years of debt to cover renovations and wedding expenses - they were heading in the wrong direction. Then they did the maths and said no. In February 2017 they met Graeme and discovered Infinity, and for the first time had the structure and budget that had been missing all along. The wedding happened. The renovations happened. Holidays happened. Every bit of it paid for in full, without taking on a cent of new debt. But the change didn't stop at their finances. Belinda and Josef embraced a complete lifestyle shift, one that has brought significant health benefits for them both and transformed the way they live day to day. Nine years on, they have reduced their debt by $589,000, built a portfolio of seven investment properties worth over ten million dollars, and never looked back. Belinda and Josef didn't need more debt. They needed a better offer - and they found one.

"I'm drinking less on Mounjaro, should I see this as a win?" It's a question landing in Anna Donaghey's inbox more and more, and in this listener Q&A episode, she gives it the thoughtful answer it deserves.Medications like Mounjaro, originally prescribed for diabetes and weight management, are quietly dialling down people's desire for alcohol often without them even trying. Anna explores what the emerging research tells us about GLP-1 drugs and the brain's reward system, why the effect on cravings may not last, and why it's so important not to skip the deeper work of understanding your relationship with alcohol, even when the urge has gone dormant.Because here's the real opportunity: this "hiatus of desire" is a rare window for self-enquiry, not a shortcut. Anna shares her perspective on the risks of treating pharmaceuticals as a simple fix, and offers practical reflection prompts for anyone noticing their cravings have changed.If your desire to drink has suddenly gone quiet, this episode will help you ask the question that really matters: what was it saying in the first place?Here are the Highlights:00:00 Intro: The rise of questions about Mounjaro and drinking01:05 The listener question: Drinking less and craving less, now what?02:23 How GLP-1 drugs (Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy) work in the body03:39 What research is saying about reduced cravings and reward04:45 Animal trials, human reports, and what's not FDA approved06:06 The real opportunity: getting curious about why you are drinking07:12 Why “the drug quietens the craving, but doesn't explain it”07:26 Why the effect isn't permanent, dose reduction and recurrence08:04 The “hiatus of desire” and what you can do with this rare space10:00 Warning: Why “Mounjaro helps you quit drinking” is a risky narrative10:44 Addressing the myth of an instant pharmaceutical solution11:13 Practical advice: Get curious about what's under your habits12:08 Plans for a deeper dive with expert guests coming soonFREE WEBINAR: How to Get Unstuck: A Year Inside a Community That's Changing Lives.

How does a tech internship at a community centre in Kenya lead to one of the highest honours in the Salesforce ecosystem?   In this episode of our Golden Hoodie Winners series, I sit down with Alimali Stephens, Salesforce Senior Developer, community leader, and Salesforce Golden Hoodie recipient. Alimali shares an inspiring story that began with a desire to give back to his local community and led to an unforgettable moment on the Dreamforce stage.   His journey reminds us that opportunities often arrive when we're focused on helping others rather than chasing recognition.  Where It All Began  Alimali takes us back to his early days at the Karibu Centre in Kenya, where he joined as an intern supporting programmes for mothers, children, and the wider community.   It was there that he was first introduced to Salesforce through a volunteer programme. Rather than simply learning a new platform, he became part of a project that transformed how the organisation measured its impact, automated manual processes, and better supported the families it served.  That first experience with Salesforce would shape the rest of his career.  An Unforgettable Dreamforce Moment  One day, his director called him into the office with an unexpected question. How comfortable was he speaking in front of a large audience?  Soon afterwards, Alimali discovered he had been invited to present on the Dreamforce Admin Keynote. It would be his first visit outside Africa, his first trip to the United States, and, as it turned out, the day he received a surprise Salesforce Golden Hoodie.  To make the moment even more memorable, it all happened on his birthday.   Building A Career While Building A Community  Since receiving his Golden Hoodie, Alimali has continued to grow professionally, progressing from Salesforce Administrator to consultant and now Senior Salesforce Developer.   Alongside his day job, he has remained committed to community leadership. As a Salesforce Community Leader in Nairobi and a technology lead with Africa Ohana, he spends his time mentoring aspiring professionals, organising events, and helping others discover opportunities within the Salesforce ecosystem.  His belief is simple. The more people we help today, the stronger the community becomes tomorrow.  Why Community Changes Careers  Throughout our conversation, Alimali explains how discovering the Salesforce community transformed his own learning journey.  Early in his career, he often found himself solving problems alone because he didn't know there were other Salesforce professionals nearby who could help. Today, he works to ensure new Trailblazers never have that same experience.  It's a powerful reminder that asking questions, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another often accelerates everyone's growth.  AI Through The Eyes Of A Salesforce Developer  We also discuss how AI is changing the role of Salesforce developers.   Rather than seeing AI as a threat, Alimali views it as a practical tool that helps developers solve problems faster, reduce repetitive work, and deliver better solutions for customers. He shares examples of building AI-powered Salesforce solutions and explains why learning to work alongside AI will become an increasingly valuable skill.  What part of Alimali's journey inspired you the most, and how could giving back to your own community shape your career in ways you never expected?  About Supermums  Founded by Heather Black, a Salesforce Golden Hoodie winner, Supermums helps relaunchers and seasoned Salesforce professionals accelerate their careers in tech through expert training, career coaching and recruitment support.  Whether someone is returning to work, pivoting into a new role, or ready to step up in the Salesforce ecosystem, Supermums provides practical training, mentoring and access to job opportunities to help them build confidence, sharpen their skills and progress faster.  Alongside its career development programmes, Supermums partners with employers to connect them with talented Salesforce professionals who are ready to make an impact.

In this episode of "The Money Mentor," Rachel sits down with Jeff and Denise, two healthcare professionals who, on paper, had done everything right - solid careers, no bad debt, and a cherished family home they'd built themselves. But after decades of hard work, they couldn't shake the feeling they weren't actually getting anywhere. They'd tried to chart their own course - selling an investment property just before it took off, setting up an SMSF with the wrong guidance, and absorbing endless books and podcasts that left them with more confusion than clarity. Then six years ago, Denise found Infinity, and Jeff, seeing the shift in her thinking, was quickly on board too. Denise likens their old approach to driving with an old paper map for directions, unsure if you're even headed the right way. With Infinity, she says, it's more like having a chauffeur - you simply say where you want to go, and they figure out how to get you there. The results speak for themselves: credit cards cleared, a proper budget in place, four investment properties, and a fully paid-off family home. They haven't stopped living either, travelling extensively with full confidence and zero guilt. Jeff and Denise share their story of success and how finding Infinity gave them access to expert advice and changed their family's forever.

Anna Donaghey is joined by travel writer and longtime non-drinker Teresa Bergen to explore why holidays are such a flashpoint when it comes to alcohol.They unpick the cultural scripts that equate travel with "letting go," the invisible pressure to drink in airports, at resorts, and on work trips, and how travel can act as a mirror for your relationship with alcohol.

In this episode of "The Money Mentor," Rachel sits down with Ebony, who faced one of life's hardest resets when her marriage ended and she became a single mother with an eight-month-old and a toddler. She chose to rebuild, but the road was far from straightforward. Back at work early, she purchased her first home in 2018, a rundown property that needed work before she could move her children in. Building on her success she wanted to think bigger, but as a single mother with dependants she hit walls at every turn. When the banks wrote her off she went searching for another way, and found Infinity. In just twelve months, Ebony has gone from being told property investing wasn't possible to having an SMSF property investment and a dual occupancy build underway. With Infinity's guidance her home loan has been slashed from $259,000 to $79,000 and is on track to be completely cleared within the next 12 months. When others said it couldn't be done, Infinity helped her prove them wrong. Sit back and listen to Ebony describe the year that has changed the trajectory of her family's future.

In this episode of "The Money Mentor," Daniel and Sarah sit down with G for their second appearance on the podcast first appearing in Series 3, Episode 4, June 13th, 2025. A young family with steady careers and every intention of getting ahead, they spent ten years watching their debt not just stand still, but grow. Borrowing against their home had taken what they owed to nearly $685,000, leaving them caught in a revolving cycle of credit cards and mortgage payments that felt like running on a treadmill. It took Daniel finding Infinity in 2020 to break the pattern. Infinity gave them the structure and strategy they had been missing, and the impact rippled through every corner of their lives - their wellbeing, their outlook, and even the way their children relate to money. Fast forward to today and the picture looks entirely different. Seven investment properties, $7.5 million in assets, and a dream home they call their own. In this episode they share where life has taken them since, the next goal in their sights, and what being part of the Infinity community has meant to them - a network that has become more like family than anything else. This is what happens when the right plan meets the right people.PART 1: Turning Doubt into Wealth | CHANGING LIVES | SEASON 3 Episode 5 | Daniel & Sarah | Money Mentor Podcast - Money Mentor Podcast | Podcast on Spotify

In this episode of "The Money Mentor," we speak to Carlos and Lynell, whose story begins with a decision many families face - to have Lynell stay home and raise their daughters, leaving the family on a single income. They saved diligently, built up a $100,000 deposit, and still the banks turned them away. Priced out and frustrated, it seemed like homeownership was simply not on the cards. That changed in 2013, when G came to their home and did something no one else had - he sat with them, listened, and built a strategy around their actual life. A different way into the market, tools and incentives most people never discover, and a long-term plan they could believe in. Fast forward to now - they are not just in the property market, they have paid off the family home, have two investment properties, and have built the kind of intergenerational wealth that families dream of. Carlos and Lynell joined Infinity in the early days, theirs is a story of patience, trust in the process, and proof that walking through the right door can open up the world.Ready to change your financial future?

“Are We Being Completely Fooled? Fake Cheating Videos, Chicken Debates & AI Changing Lives”

In this episode of The 20/20 Podcast, Dr. Harbir Sian sits down with Donna Mikulecky, Executive Director of Optometry Giving Sight, to discuss how the organization is helping build sustainable optometry services around the world. Donna explains that Optometry Giving Sight focuses on preventing vision impairment and blindness caused by uncorrected refractive error, with a mission that goes beyond short-term vision missions. Instead, the organization helps fund long-term infrastructure, including optometry schools, vision centres, and community-based programs that continue serving patients long after initial support is provided. The conversation explores the real-world impact of access to eye care: children staying in school, adults being able to work, families becoming more independent, and local communities gaining employment opportunities through sustainable eye care systems. Donna also shares how optometrists, clinics, corporate partners, and patients can support Optometry Giving Sight through programs like the World Sight Day Challenge, Team OGS, patient rebate donations, and practice-based fundraising campaigns. The episode also addresses common questions around charitable giving, including where donations go, how grants are awarded, and how Optometry Giving Sight monitors the programs it funds. 3 Key Takeaways1. Optometry Giving Sight focuses on sustainable eye care, not just temporary aid. The organization supports long-term solutions such as optometry schools, vision centres, and local eye care programs that remain in communities and continue serving patients over time.2. The impact of vision care extends far beyond glasses. Access to eye care can help children succeed in school, allow adults to work, support family independence, and create career opportunities for local eye care providers.3. Every optometry practice can participate in giving back. Whether through the World Sight Day Challenge, Team OGS, donating a portion of frame sales, encouraging patient rebate donations, or sharing OGS content online, practices can make giving part of their culture in a simple and meaningful way.Learn more and contribute to Optometry Giving Sight at givingsight.orgLove the show?

Got a show or guest idea? Send us a text!Visit: TruDose.com for more informationWhy Platelets MatterFor a long time, platelets were thought of mainly as the cells that help your blood clot. But new research shows they do much more (“Clickable link” Holland 2026 paper citation) Platelets act as the body's natural cellular adaptogen—the most important cells circulating in the bloodstream capable of helping the body respond to stress. They act like first responders, helping the body handle physical stresses like injury or illness, emotional stresses like anxiety or trauma, and environmental stresses like pollution or poor nutrition. Platelets carry key signals and growth factors that let them sense what the body needs and respond quickly, supporting adaptation and healing through all phases of stress, including the alarm, resistance, and exhaustion stages.What's truly exciting is their potential in exhaustion-based diseases—conditions where the body's ability to cope with stress has been pushed beyond its limits. These include chronic fatigue syndrome, post-viral syndromes like long COVID, fibromyalgia, adrenal or hormonal exhaustion, and chronic burnout. In these states, traditional therapies often fail because the body's natural adaptive systems are depleted. Platelets, as cellular adaptogens, may help restore balance, improve resilience, and guide recovery where other approaches struggle, offering a whole new way to address chronic, unresolved, or stress-exhaustion conditions.This opens up powerful possibilities for treatment. Because platelets are naturally adaptive, their benefits depend on delivering the right dose at the right time. This is where TruDOSE(™) comes in to play! By working with the body's own adaptive powers in a precise, individualized way, we can go beyond one-size-fits-all therapies and support each person's healing more effectively. Platelets aren't just for repair—they're central players in the body's natural self-healing process, and at the right dose, they unleash powerful healing that may be key to treating stress-related and exhaustion-phase diseases.Platelets are often known for their role in blood clotting. TruDOSE research has helped expand that understanding.Platelets help coordinate how the body responds when conditions change. Through biological signaling, they participate in immune modulation, vascular homeostasis, metabolic regulation, and systemic homeostasis.No two people have identical platelet characteristics. That variation matters. How platelets are prepared can influence how they are organized and applied within structured clinical settings. Starting with your own biology allows for a more individualized and precise preparation process.TruDOSE applies consistent preparation standards so providers can work directly with patient-specific biology rather than relying on uniform concentration models.TruDOSE works with platelet biology through:Individualized biological evaluationStructured preparation methodsData-informed calibrationProvider-guided application within clinical environmentsOur approach goes beyond standard PRP. It is not just about concentration. It is about calibration.About Tapley Holland, PhD:Innovator. Builder.

What happens when the world tells you who you are before you ever get the chance to decide for yourself? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with recording artist, songwriter, and autism advocate B Able for a conversation about identity, resilience, creativity, and rewriting the narrative others place on you.
