Podcasts about Magic Moments

Welcome to Episode 36 of Magic Moments ✨   This week's Magic Moment is a bit different… Because the guest is none other than yours truly.    This week I am in the hot seat to dive deep into my journey - how I went from being an employee in a mate's business to building serious financial independence through smart investing and structured business strategy.   We talked about the early days - when I barely knew what property investment really was - and how I got thrown into the deep end. I share some raw moments from my time in the Property Entrepreneur programme, and how a seriously tough situation ended up being the turning point that shaped my future as a leader.   I break down my strategy for building my Financial Fortress. We're talking low-risk, long-term, cash-flowing property investments that give you actual freedom - without the stress and noise of more volatile setups.    This one is a must-listen if you're tired of chasing quick wins and want a real, repeatable strategy for lasting wealth.   It was great having the tables turned on me in this episode and sharing my full story - it's one of resilience, smart decisions, and a whole lot of intention behind every move.   Did you enjoy this Magic Moment?

If you need to understand Origin in just one moment, it’s the closing minutes of Game One, 1994. The Blues were cruising - 10 points up with 10 to play - until a wave of maroon belief swept the Sydney Football Stadium. Alfie Langer to Kevvy Walters, Michael Carne joins, Renouf streaks down the touchline, Hancock keeps it alive, Darren Smith inside, back to Alfie… BIG MAL sets the stage, and from nowhere Mark Coyne dives for the corner: “Queensland is never beaten!” In this episode of Stories of Origin, relive the chain‑reaction of passes that produced one of rugby league’s greatest tries and forged a mantra that still defines the Maroons. Hear first‑hand reflections on the pressure, the precision, and the pure Queensland spirit behind the Miracle Try - because when it’s Origin, it’s never over.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Episode 35 of Magic Moments ✨   In this moment, I sat down with the brilliant Orrin - an absolute powerhouse when it comes to finance and business. He's got a solid foundation in the corporate world (three years of CIMA under his belt and five years grinding in finance), and he's since taken that knowledge and turned it into entrepreneurial gold.   We discussed the stuff that most people shy away from - what to do when your business hits tough financial times. And it's not about hiding or powering through silently. It's about honesty and transparency. Orrin shared how being upfront and open with partners, investors, and teams can actually make or break your business when the pressure's on.   We also dived into why every entrepreneur needs to get comfortable with the numbers. Finance isn't just for the accountants anymore - it's a core part of decision-making, and if you want to lead with confidence, you've got to understand what's under the hood of your business.    Orrin's lived that transition from financial specialist to full-on business leader, and he drops some epic insight on how that shift works - and why CFOs are often stepping up as CEOs more and more.   This conversation was a proper eye-opener, and if you're navigating the chaos of entrepreneurship (especially with money stress in the mix), this one's definitely for you.   Did you enjoy this Magic Moment?

A series decider at ANZ Stadium. The Blues teetered on the brink, heartbreak hanging over Homebush once more - until one breathtaking chain of passes rewrote Origin folklore. Relive the frantic final minute: Cordner to Murray, Pearce punching through the line, Trbojevic unleashing Ferguson on white-knuckle tippy-toes down the sideline, and - like lightning - James “Teddy” Tedesco diving over to clinch NSW’s first back-to-back crown since 2005. Buckle up for the play that stunned Queensland and carved Teddy’s name into Origin legend. Game 1 of the 2025 State of Origin series is live and exclusive on Nine & 9Now, Wednesday 28 May.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to episode 34 of our Magic Moments series ✨   In this week's Moment, I break down what I've observed after working with so many business owners - particularly how clarity becomes a massive leverage point.    I shared my thoughts around why knowing what you actually want is half the battle. Once you get that clarity, everything else becomes about execution and alignment. I've seen this pattern repeatedly - the entrepreneurs who can articulate their true aims are the ones who create businesses that work for them, not the other way around.   I get into the whole “revenue is easy, profit is hard” concept that keeps coming up in my conversations. So many business owners chase top-line growth without understanding the profit mechanics underneath. I tried to unpack why this happens and how to shift focus to what actually matters.   The predictability of success is something I'm becoming more convinced of with each passing year. When you follow certain principles consistently, the results tend to follow. I shared some examples from my own journey with business growth, publishing, and property investments to illustrate this.   I hope this episode helps listeners cut through some of the noise and focus on the core elements that actually move the needle. Sometimes entrepreneurship feels complex, but the fundamentals haven't changed - clarity of purpose, understanding unit economics, and having the discipline to stick to a plan still win the day.   Looking forward to hearing how this resonates with you. Let me know what you think!   Did you enjoy this Magic Moment? Click here to listen to the full episode.

Die Magic Moment Woche hat begonnen. Für Alex ist es der erste Magic Moment, den er mit seiner Promi-Tanzpartnerin kreieren darf. Was ist dabei die Herausforderung? Wie geht man an so eine persönliche Choreografie ran? Natürlich gibt's auch wieder eine neue Runde „Fakt oder Fake“ – mit Geschichten über Handstand-Verbote, romantische Pinguine und Cafés zum Ausweinen. Außerdem: Stellt euch vor, ihr würdet mit dem sympathischen Zahnarzt eures Vertrauens bei einem Kaffee zusammensitzen und könntet ihn alles fragen, was ihr schon mal über eure Zähne wissen und nicht wissen wolltet.

In the 45th year of rugby league’s fiercest rivalry, Stories of Origin is back with its most emotional season yet - Magic Moments: As Voted By You, thanks to TAB. Across six epic episodes, fans chose the plays that made them shout, cry and believe again, and the legends who lived them tell every raw detail. We kick off where Origin itself began: Arthur Beetson’s thunderous return to Lang Park in 1980. A weary warrior summoned home, Beetson strapped on the captain’s armband and, in eighty unforgettable minutes, turned a fledgling concept into the greatest spectacle in Australian sport. Hear rare archival audio, inside-the-sheds reflections, and fresh insight from Wally Lewis, Phil Gould, Roy Masters and more as they relive the night one man’s pride and power put State of Origin on the map. Narrated by Mathew Thompson. Game 1 of the 2025 State of Origin series is live and exclusive on Nine & 9Now, Wednesday 28 May.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 33 of Magic Moments has landed!   This week's moment is from an amazing conversation with Gareth Morgan that I can't wait to share with you all. Gareth is truly a systems guy with a gift for optimising business operations and driving growth.    Our chat was packed with insights about how he approached buying his mortgage advisory business and immediately set it up for success through his clarity about where to focus his energy and what to delegate from day one.   Gareth shared how he identified the value of his time early on and made strategic decisions about outsourcing and systems. Instead of getting bogged down in admin work like many new business owners do, he immediately invested in support structures that freed him to focus on what he does best - structuring deals and growing the business.   I particularly loved Gareth's perspective on not waiting until you're drowning in admin work to build systems. He came in with a clear vision of his strengths and weaknesses and built his operation around maximising his impact.   The conversation reinforced for me that sometimes the best business decisions aren't about what you do, but what you deliberately choose not to do. Gareth's success came from understanding where his unique value lies and designing everything else around supporting that.   For anyone looking to acquire or scale a business, this episode offers a masterclass in strategic thinking from day one.    Did you enjoy this Magic Moment?

The latest episode of Magic Moments is here ✨   This week's Magic Moment is from my chat with Chris Moss about something I feel super passionate about - brand consistency and why it matters so much in business.   Chris and I dug into how having a consistent, professional brand across everything you do (your socials, website, documents, the lot) makes such a huge difference in how potential clients see you.   If you want the big clients and bigger deals, you absolutely need to look the part. Nothing turns off a potential client faster than inconsistent or amateur-looking materials.    We also chatted about practical stuff - getting a proper branding pack done professionally, making sure your documents look top-notch, and keeping everything consistent. Looking professional isn't just about vanity - it's about building trust and ultimately growing your business.    Dive in - I hope you enjoy it!   Did you enjoy this Magic Moment?

Welcome to Episode 30 of Magic Moments! ✨ In this week's Magic Moment, I sit down with Mike Chamberlain, a seasoned entrepreneur in the financial services industry. Mike has an impressive track record of building and scaling businesses through various economic cycles and has successfully exited his venture. We dove deep into client selection - Mike emphasised how choosing the right clients can make or break your business. He talked about not compromising on price just to get clients in the door. We also discussed finding that sweet spot between bringing in new clients and nurturing your existing relationships. Mike had some great insights on managing acquisition costs while maximising profitability. We also talked about financial oversight. Mike is big on using digital tools to keep a close eye on business performance - tracking things like turnover, efficiency, and working capital. I'm definitely going to implement some of his suggestions in my own operations. Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale your existing business, Mike's practical advice on pricing strategies, client management, and operational efficiency is pure gold.

Welcome to Episode 28 of Magic Moments! ✨   This week's episode is taken from an amazing conversation with Julie Talbot.    Julie is a powerhouse - entrepreneur, author, speaker, and she's been crushing it in the personal development space since she was super young. Her approach completely flips traditional financial education on its head.   We dive deep into how we can better teach kids about money, and Julie had some really eye-opening perspectives that challenged even my own thinking:   ➡️ Stop paying kids for basic chores - instead, Julie suggests teaching them to earn by creating actual value or producing content that matters   ➡️ She shared this brilliant story about using "tooth fairy money" as a first investing lesson (I'm definitely trying this with my kids!)   ➡️ The Spend/Save/Give jars concept - such a simple visual tool but so effective for teaching money management   ➡️ Getting kids involved in household financial conversations to build their negotiation muscles   Julie emphasises building a wealth mindset from an early age. We're not just teaching kids about money - we're setting them up with fundamental skills they'll use their entire lives. I walked away from this conversation with so many new ideas to try with my own family

Magic Moments Ep 27 is here ✨   In this week's episode I'm joined by my guest Steven Day, who's an absolute wizard when it comes to building virtual teams. If you're looking to scale your business while keeping costs down, this episode is packed with gold!   Steven walked me through how he's helped businesses save a ton of money by hiring talented people from around the world. The numbers are pretty eye-opening - you can hire someone with serious management skills in the Philippines for way less than what you'd pay in the UK, without sacrificing quality.   He shared this brilliant concept of being "unavailably available" - which basically means not being on call 24/7 so your team learns to solve problems themselves. This has been a game-changer for me personally!

Courtney and Emily welcome back Michael Lyons to the Book of the Mouse Club to discuss his latest book, “Magic Moments: Stories, Lessons and Memories from a Twenty-Year Career at Disney.” This book is a perfect selection for the end of the year because it is about reflecting on past experiences and the lessons learned along the way.

Today's episode is a real treat. With all Voice of Insurance podcasts the aim is to be able to get to a level of comfort and ease with a guest so that what we end up hearing is as close you can get to listening in on a lively conversation between two good insurance market friends in a bar. This week I think we managed it and that's down to my guest, Nick Line, the Chief Underwriting Officer of Markel International. Nick has had a fascinating career, almost all of it at Markel and one of the forerunner companies that it acquired to make its entry into the London Market in the late 1990s. Nick has been through markets hard and soft as well as reserving cycles plump with redundancy followed by equal and opposite inverse periods of insufficiency and strengthening. You could say he has seen most things – and he also seen those phenomena through different lenses as he started his career as an actuary and only more recently took a more public-facing role. Nick's story is Markel International's story too- as well as that of the evolving London and wider international insurance markets over the last 30 years. As the market has become more technically sophisticated and reserving, pricing, capital and risk have to be measured and controlled, it has become perfectly logical that a CUO might not necessarily be someone who has written a risk in anger themselves We cover quite a bit of history but it is the forward-looking parts of this podcast that are the most rewarding because Nick combines all the technical smarts one would expect from an actuary with the communication skills of the best CEOs. His is a vision of the tech-and-data-empowered underwriter and global insurance market of the future, but one where the magic always still happens at the behest of a human insurance professional. Markel International has grown quickly in the hard market of the last few years and this podcast is a record of a business that has found a groove and is firing on all cylinders. We made this recording in Markel's London office only aided by coffee, tea and water with no beer or wine anywhere to be seen. But by the end it's almost as if the champagne were flowing as tongues and jaws were loosened and expansive ideas were unleashed on the world. This makes for a fun listen that is brimming with smart observations and interesting takes from Nick. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. We also thank audio advertiser, The Insurance Network (TIN), organiser of the highly-successful TINtech events series. This week they are advertising their successful TINtech London Market event, which will be happening on 4th February 2025. But before then Data Jam, which is focused on exploring the implications and opportunities of data, analytics, AI and automation in the insurance sector, takes place on 28th November at Convene, 133 Houndsditch, London EC3.

Practice and preparation is the key to meeting your own standards but don't rule out a sprinkle of fairy dust!

The writer, Jon Kremer, has lived in Bournemouth, a town on the south-coast of England, since he was a teenager, coinciding with the start of the 1960s.  That famous decade of cultural change allowed him to experience many aspects of the UK music industry via both the ownership of his town's original vintage vinyl shop, Bus Stop Records, which opened during 1967's Summer of Love, and a long-standing friendship with ‘Year of the Cat' singer-songwriter, Al Stewart.  A 60's music highlight was meeting the Beatles at the height of Britain's Beatlemania.  The story of Jon and Al finding themselves in the backstage company of John Lennon moments after the Fabs had first performed “She Loves You” live for an audience, days before the record's release, became known as ‘The Men from Rickenbacker'. The tale of two teenagers pretending to be representatives of Rickenbacker guitars and needing to talk with the Beatles, eventually was retold many times in books, magazines, newspapers, tour programs, and on TV and radio.  Jon's first book, Bournemouth A Go! Go! – A Sixties Memoir, visited the story in-depth, as it takes a look back at the Bournemouth music scene in the early 60's, featuring future members of The Police, King Crimson and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Andy Summers, Robert Fripp, and Greg Lake.   A long-time fascination with the often obscure or overlooked key history-making moments that created and energized the story of pop and rock led to Jon writing the book, Chain Reaction, Rock ‘n Pop's Magic Moments.  I've read Chain Reaction and can tell you it's a fascinating exploration of how artists influence one another as they build out their careers, especially so in the music industry.
