When former Queensland Police Setective Keith Banks joined the force, he thought he was signing up to fight crime, not work alongside it. In this episode of Crime Insiders Detectives, Keith takes host Brent Sanders inside the world of outlaw motorcycle gangs, where power, loyalty and fear ruled the streets. But the real danger, he says, was within the Queensland Police itself. During the era of the infamous “Rat Pack,” corruption ran deep, and it took the Fitzgerald Inquiry to finally drag it into the light. Keith reveals what it was like leading the bikie intelligence unit during Queensland’s most corrupt chapter of policing, the price he paid for speaking out, and how the trauma of policing left him with PTSD.

Greetings, Pilots. This is my very first ever CSM campaign.I started out in EVE Online in Autumn of 2011 at the suggestion of a former co-worker from a former business I used to work for, I wasn't too serious about his claims about EVE Online at the time until I did my research online, gotten the Commissioned Officer's Edition box at my local Gamestop, which I still have to this day, and I haven't looked back ever since.My Expertise on said subjectsPlanetary Interaction - Besides looking in awe of New Eden's most beautiful celestials and yet overlooked by some, I am a big supporter of PI Colonies not only for extracting resources from the ground up, as a Colonial Owner, where are my neighbors in this wonderful community? I would like to shake things up on a magnitude that gives interesting parties a look and possibly do something from orbit, if you know what I mean.PvP - I've dealt with fleet fights, Faction Warfare, and heck even I screwed around in lowsec areas where I really shouldn't have. Knowing a few meta tips and tricks, there has to be a motivation as to why should anyone join your fleet?The FPS Element - I've played all sorts of First Person Shooters going on 24 years now, been a closed beta tester for Dust 514 in 2012 all the way until TACNET shutdown, what I can bring to the table is that there's a LOT of PI Colonies sitting around and what we can do about that by giving players the chance to actually defend your colonies.

In this episode, guest Paul Gudonis discusses his experience with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and the impact it has had on his life. He shares how he initially attributed his symptoms to stress and aging, but after hearing about TRT on an episode of Horizon Scan (a separate podcast with H-Hour host Hugh Keir and Sin Eaters Guild founder Gaz Walsh), he began to consider hormonal imbalances as a possible cause. Paul explains the process of getting his testosterone levels checked and the challenges he faced in getting a prescription. He also discusses the positive changes he has noticed since starting TRT, including increased motivation, improved focus, and a boost in his fitness levels. Paul emphasises the importance of addressing hormonal imbalances and not accepting age-related decline as inevitable. The conversation explores the importance of fitness and strength training for longevity and overall well-being. Paul and Hugh discuss the motivation they find in seeing older individuals who are still active and fit. They also touch on the potential risks of using steroids and the importance of maintaining a balanced approach to training. The conversation highlights the significance of functional fitness and rotational exercises for maintaining stability and preventing injuries. They also discuss the role of hormones in fitness and the impact of hormonal imbalances on motivation and performance. Both men emphasize the importance of staying active and fit as we age and challenge the notion that age should be a limiting factor in physical abilities. Paul Gudonis is a senior executive working in the communications technology space. He is also a former Commissioned Officer of the British Army who served in multiple theatres around the world with 16 Air Assault Brigade's 216 Parachute Signals Squadron.

Are you familiar with the term “ 4.0 Leaders”? If you are, then you understand the value of hiring such leaders in whichever niche you serve, especially in this age of the industrial revolution through artificial intelligence.    I am excited to share this episode as we have a returning guest, the Rogue Recruiter, David Perry. We recorded this episode on his birthday. And you know that it will be an episode packed with exceptional expertise and behind-the-scenes stories from 35 years in executive recruitment.   David and I touched upon relevant topics such as building strategic, long-term client relationships and the art of placing the right candidates within a company's culture. We also covered how their project, workinsight.io, can change the current hiring landscape. Lastly, David shared his insight on what recruitment will look like and why hiring 4.0 leaders is a critical role of recruiters.   Episode Outline and Highlights [02:09] Pool Table Analogy - David reveals the strategy in his 35-year career in executive recruitment. [08:02] Pointers on pre-closing deals and establishing long-term client relationships. [19:22] “Executive Recruiting for Dummies” - Why David writes the questions and runs the candidate interview with their clients. [26:06] Educating your clients on the cost of a bad hire while quantifying your added value to their organization. [29:00] Be inspired and don't give up: David shares his story about his early struggles in his recruitment career. [32:24] What is Workinsight.io and how can it be a game changer as a matching platform for candidates and employers? [52:18] Teaser on David's new book - “Revolutions Need Leaders” [1:00:05] David shares why they send a 27-page proposal to their clients. [1:07:00] Book recommendations from David and why he never stops learning from others.   Strategize Your Recruitment Like a Pool Master Before we recorded this episode, he had recently closed around 750K in fees. I wanted to get his insights on how he can consistently deliver in the industry for 35 years.    If you are familiar with the game of pool or billiards, you will relate to David's analogy about his strategies that keep him at the top of his game. He describes his approach, “You play pool, right? Most people and most recruiters are usually good for sinking a shot. Maybe a second one, okay, rarely a third one, yep. Rarely can someone clean the table. So this is how we think about search. We get a lot of inquiries to do work for companies… That's like playing pool. Before we do a deal we want to look down the table and go, okay, what's the next ball, what's the next ball, what's the next ball? And oftentimes we won't take a search because we can't see the next one.“   David elaborated on the following techniques:   Focusing on client relationships, investing time to understand their culture and what fits in their organization. Doing so can make placing three people with one company easier than three people with three different companies. How to pre-close a deal through an intake call with the client via Zoom call that will lead to a face-to-face discussion. Running the interview questions to the candidates, with the clients on the side.   Like me, you will admire David's tenure and expertise and how he delivers his service to his clients.    Democratizing the Job Search Process   David and I discussed their exciting website project: workinsight.io. Work Insight is a recruiting platform designed to be candidate-centric by allowing them to have a level of anonymity. The approach is inspired by dating sites, like Bumble or Tinder. The goal of the platform is to democratize recruitment - “This is designed to help people get the right role. That's why it's free. It's free for recruiters to use and post. It's free for job hunters to come and find jobs and post credentials. So we're trying to democratize the hiring that way. This way, smaller companies who've got a great idea can find people and do it themselves At the same time.”   There are at least two job search frustrations that the platform can solve:   Shortening the job search process: In the US, Davide mentioned that the average job search time is 38 weeks. Workinsight.io can enable a continuous opportunity flow, which will force employers to “be smarter and fairer with the candidates that they have, because now, all of a sudden, the whole market is fluid.”   Solving the “hired for skill, fired for fit” dilemma: As David mentioned, “We've known for four decades hired for skill, fired for fit. If we know this doesn't work and we know that the turnover rate stays at a steady 24%, why don't we fix that?” The platform has an upcoming feature that matches candidates to companies based on cultural fit, aiming to address the high turnover rates caused by mismatches in company culture. This service is available for English-speaking individuals across various roles, industries, and locations.   Having a Glimpse to the Future of Recruiting   I was also fortunate to get a teaser of David's new book “Revolutions Need Leaders”  which addresses these revolutionary changes in recruitment and provides insight into the High Definition of Recruiting (HDR) methodology. David touched upon the impact of leaders like Sam Altman, whose leadership inspired loyalty and action from employees at OpenAI, exemplifying the power of what we term "4.0 leaders." These leaders focus on team success rather than individual achievements and are not easily found through traditional recruitment methods. We discuss strategies for identifying and engaging these elusive candidates, including using LinkedIn effectively for signaling and vetting prospects.   Our Sponsor   This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro    i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

Quick links: ABOUT THE BOOK: Amazon | Book Website ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Hi-Res Headshot | Author LinkedIn SOCIAL LINK: Website www.rebeccacontreras.com; Facebook @RebeccaAnnContreras; Instagram @RebeccaAnnContreras Born into poverty to a drug-addicted mother, Rebecca Contreras had been a “lost girl” for almost two decades when, at age 19, she found herself to be a drop out, welfare-dependent teenage mother. As a high school dropout with substance-abuse and emotional trauma tendencies, she was well on her way to perpetuating the generational cycle of destruction and becoming a statistic lost to the system and her upbringing. Her new book, Lost Girl: From the Hood to the White House to Millionaire Entrepreneur (Boss Media, released Oct 2021), recounts this journey from getting off welfare to advising a sitting U.S. president to eventually founding a thriving 100+ person company, her journey demonstrates that harsh beginnings or past mistakes do not need to define us; rather, we each have the power to forge our own pathways, especially when we have self-determination and the ability to recognize and accept helping hands along the way. Rebecca's transformative journey continued with the marriage of her husband, David, who she met while serving in a gang outreach youth community program in Austin. Rebecca and David have been married for 31+ years and live with their family in the Austin area. Together, she and David founded LaunchPad (LP) in 2008, a nonprofit that focused on serving middle school age inner city youth through a comprehensive after school program for nearly a decade in Northeast Austin. Today LaunchPad has shifted to support other philanthropic causes in the State of Texas and globally that are near and dear to the Contreras' heart. To learn more about LP visit www.launchpadthecenter.org. Rebecca started her government service as a single mom in a “welfare-to-work' program under the iconic Texan Ann Richards. After she completed that program and got her GED, she then went on to work in HR for Kay Bailey Hutchison, and worked her way all the way to being a top leader serving 12 years in the George W. Bush legacy, first in Texas as his director of HR, and then in the White House as a Commissioned Officer on Bush's right hand team supporting the presidential transition and leading the process for staffing over 1,200 positions in boards and commissions across the government, President Bush then appointed her to serve on the Board of WestPoint Military Academy.
