Being authentic sounds like a simple goal, but the reality is much more complicated. Especially when you're building something, creating content, or putting yourself out there, there's a constant balance between being real and being intentional. In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Mark Butler for a conversation about perfectionism, authenticity, content creation, and what it really means to put yourself out there. Mark and I talk about where perfectionism can be useful, where it can keep us stuck, and how our strengths can sometimes become the very things that slow us down.

Jeremy Cordeaux is back in the garage with Pete and Gary, and he's found the government some money. From next April, he explains, 3.2 million Australians over 65 will lose the private health insurance rebate that keeps them out of the public system — a saving of $7.9 billion the government says it simply can't do without. Jeremy begs to differ, and reads Health Minister Mark Butler a list: $23.4 billion for electric-car subsidies, $100 million for a failed Bureau of Meteorology website, $65 million for journalists at billion-dollar media companies, half a billion for a Papua New Guinea rugby league team, $4.2 million for a South Pacific resort stopover for COP delegates. Priorities, Minister. He also takes on the mass citizenship ceremonies in Tony Burke's south-western Sydney — and the four flags new Australians were presented with — asking what picture of national identity that paints. Plus new Victorian Premier Ben Carroll's claim that "integrity will not be optional" (and why Jeremy says he talked himself into a corner), the belated royal commission into the CFMEU, Australia Post pushing a letter toward two dollars, and a run of gloriously useless inventions — the pet rock, diet water, the DVD rewinder. And this day in history: the World Wide Web, Hiroshima, Big Ben, and the world's oldest tree, accidentally cut down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A decade ago, Australian Border Force Tobacco Strike Team leader Rohan Pike issued a stark warning: skyrocketing tobacco excises would unleash organised crime and fuel a dangerous illicit market. Today, his prediction has become reality - firebombings terrorise suburban streets, borders are breached daily, and innocent people are being murdered as a result of the multi-billion-dollar black market. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Rohan takes us inside Australia's self-inflicted tobacco wars, revealing how violent crime syndicates smuggle millions of illicit tobacco products into the country every day, why current enforcement strategies are failing, and what it will take to stop this rapidly escalating crisis before more lives are lost.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeremy Cordeaux delivers a fiery Garage Edition tackling Australia’s growing economic pressures, government accountability, and controversial policy decisions. From the alarming rise in food insecurity highlighted by OzHarvest to criticism of foreign aid spending while Australians struggle, Jeremy questions national priorities.

The episode also takes aim at the NDIS scandal, media coverage failures, and ministerial accountability, alongside housing affordability issues driven by policy missteps. Jeremy also critiques proposed changes to private health incentives, gender-neutral building codes, and broader political decision-making, delivering sharp commentary on leadership, media bias, and economic reality. A classic no-holds-barred episode blending humour, history, and hard truths.

When the National Disability Insurance Scheme was created in 2013, it was proof that a rich society could find the money to help people living with a disability. This was social democracy at work. Twelve years on, it has turned into a $62 billion behemoth, on track to cost more than the age pension. The Albanese government last week admitted the scheme was at risk of collapse. It announced a root-and-branch overhaul to remove 300,000 Australians from the scheme in the space of a few years. The man leading the contentious reform agenda is Health Minister Mark Butler. The 55-year-old South Australian has emerged as one of Labor’s most energetic ministers, taking on big tasks in aged care, tobacco control and disability support. He’s also been asked if he might be the next Labor leader after Anthony Albanese. He joins this bonus episode of Inside Politics with chief political correspondent Paul Sakkal.

Jeremy Cordeaux returns for another sharp-edged GARAGE Edition of The Court of Public Opinion, tackling the fallout from Anzac Day controversy, the future of national identity, and explosive revelations about the NDIS.

The episode dives deep into the government’s own admission that the NDIS has become vulnerable to fraud, waste and organised crime, with billions of taxpayer dollars now under scrutiny. Jeremy argues the scheme has spiralled out of control and demands ministerial accountability. He also weighs in on ISIS brides reportedly returning to Australia, Welcome to Country backlash at Anzac Day services, and whether modern Australia still has the unity needed to defend itself. Plus classic historical reflections including Port Arthur, Chernobyl, Rupert Murdoch, Schindler, Pan Am and more. A passionate mix of politics, culture and commentary in classic Cordeaux style.

Nearly 15 years after Julia Gillard introduced the national disability insurance scheme, the Albanese government announced the most significant reforms to the scheme on Wednesday. It's expected that the billions of budget savings will mean at least 160,000 participants will no longer be able to access the scheme within the next four years.

The federal government has unveiled sweeping reforms to the NDIS to curb rising costs and fraud in the $50 billion scheme. The Health minister Mark Butler says tighter eligibility, reduced support and stricter provider regulation are essential for sustainability of the program. Reforms are set to be implemented in 2027. While advocates and providers like Heena Sinha Cheung welcome some changes, concerns remain about access, clarity and overhead costs. With participant numbers set to fall, the government warns the scheme's future depends on these reforms.

In this powerful and deeply personal testimony, Pastor Pamela Butler recounts the events surrounding Pastor Mark Butler's life threatening “widow maker” heart attack and the miraculous hand of God that met him in the middle of it. Beginning with the moment he collapsed during a workout, Pastor Pamela walks through the timeline of emergency responders, life saving interventions, and the intense hours that followed in the hospital. But more than a medical story, this message is a testimony of faith, prayer, and the faithfulness of God. As the church stood together believing the promises of God, the situation that looked impossible became a living testimony that Jesus is still the Way Maker.

What if your confidence in business didn't depend on the economy at all—but instead on the things you can actually control?We're constantly told to watch the market, follow influencers, and brace for uncertainty. But what if real stability comes from within—from your character, your skills, and your relationships?In this episode of Success Genius, I sit down with Mark Butler to unpack how to shift from “external referencing” (looking outside for validation) to “internal referencing” (building strength you can rely on no matter what).We explore the hidden entitlement many of us carry in business, why comfort and needs aren't the same thing, and how nurturing your network might be the greatest form of financial security you have.If you've ever felt rattled by economic changes, this conversation will remind you where true confidence is built—inside, where you actually have control.Topics covered in this episode include:Why confidence rooted in internal referencing is more reliable than chasing external validationThe three pillars you can actually control—character, skills, and relationshipsHow entitlement around income and comfort can quietly undermine your businessPractical ways to prepare for economic uncertainty without losing stabilityIf you've ever worried about what the economy means for your business, or found yourself seeking reassurance from influencers instead of trusting your own answers, this episode will ground you.Tune in for a refreshing perspective that helps you build unshakable confidence—no matter what's happening out there.Resources Mentioned:Visit Mark's Bookkeeping Service: https://letsdothebooks.comCheck Out Mark's Coaching Resources: https://markbutler.comListen to A Podcast for Coaches: https://podcastforcoaches.transistor.fmConnect with Mark: support@markbutler.comGet The Book: https://book.neillwilliams.com/bookLearn More About TEAM90: https://neillwilliams.com/team90Book A Team Turnaround Call: https://neillwilliams.com/team-turnaround-callContact Us: support@neillwilliams.com

What if your pricing strategy wasn't tied to your self-worth—but instead guided by simple supply and demand?In the coaching world, we often hear messages like “charge what you're worth” or “higher prices mean higher value.” But what if those beliefs are fueling unnecessary emotional drama and confusion in your business?In this episode of Success Genius, I'm joined again by the always insightful Mark Butler—fractional CFO, bookkeeper, and coach—for a candid conversation about pricing. Together, we dismantle the “self-worth pricing” myth and explore why pricing is a business decision, not a personal identity crisis.We discuss how to use price as a throttle, what it actually means to have a “full” calendar, and how lowering your price doesn't mean you're lowering your value—it might just mean you're increasing demand.This is a must-listen if you've ever agonized over your rates, compared your prices to others, or wondered if charging less means you believe less in your work.Topics covered in this episode include:Why pricing is a strategic business decision—not a reflection of your self-worthThe real role of supply and demand in determining what to chargeHow to define a “full practice” on your own termsPractical ways to reduce emotional drama around pricingIf you've ever second-guessed your rates, felt pressured to “charge your worth,” or wondered if lower prices mean lower value, this episode is for you.

When millionaire Australian socialite Margaret Wales-King and her husband, Paul King, disappeared in April 2002, friends and family became concerned something serious had happened to the older couple. Those fears and concerns were confirmed a few weeks later, when park rangers discovered their bodies in a shallow grave in Marysville, Victoria. Margaret and her husband had been clubbed and strangled to death.The press dubbed the murders “the society killings” and the tragedy captured the Australian public's attention for the ways it seemed to have been pulled right out of a classic mystery novel. Yet for all the couple's wealth, nothing appeared to be missing from their home and their bodies were discovered still wearing jewelry and in possession of credit cards and other valuables. Under the circumstances, police looked to Wales-King's children, who stood to gain a great deal of money in the event of Margaret's death. Within a week the case started to come together, and a suspect was revealed.While most of the family responded to the Wales-King murders in a manner one would expect, thirty-four-year-old Matthew Wales behavior was erratic, explosive, and suspicious. Upon interviewing Matthew, investigators learned he was the last person to have seen his mother and stepfather the night they were murdered, after having dinner with Matthew and his wife, Maritza. A few weeks later, after multiple interviews, Matthew Wales confessed to murdering his parents; though why he had done it came as a shock to everyone who knew the family.ReferencesAnderson, Paul, Philip Cullen, and Mark Butler. 2002.
