Send us a textIn this episode, Stuart and Mena break down one of the most generous tax perks currently available to employees and employers alike: the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemption for electric vehicles. With so few genuine “free kicks” in the tax system, understanding how to maximise this benefit is essential for anyone considering a new car or looking to enhance employee compensation packages.Mena begins by outlining the eligibility rules: the vehicle must be a zero- or low-emissions car, first held and used after 1 July 2022, used by an employee or their associate, and fall below the luxury car tax threshold of $91,387. From there, Stuart and Mena compare financing methods, from outright purchases and chattel mortgages (which offer ~25% tax savings) to novated leases, which can deliver up to 47% tax savings by salary sacrificing the total cost of ownership.They also explain how a novated lease works, its impact on taxable income, and why it's often the most tax-effective structure. Stuart closes with practical ways to leverage this exemption, whether for your own car, to incentivise staff, or as a retention tool in your business.

Every customer who walks through your door is an opportunity, but only if you know how to convert them. In this episode of The Retail Tea Break, Melissa Moore chats with Mark Ryski, retail analytics expert and author of Store Traffic Is a Gift. Mark unpacks why store traffic is often undervalued, how conversion is the missing link to sales success and what practical steps retailers can take to maximise every visitor.Whether you manage a single shop or a nationwide chain, this conversation offers practical, game-changing advice on traffic, conversion and sales.Key DiscussionsMark's early journey into traffic counting and why it transformed his view of retail.Why store traffic is a “gift” and why retailers must treat it as a scarce resource.The outdated ways retailers still manage staffing and why they need to change.Why focusing on conversion rates matters more than simply chasing traffic.The challenges retailers face in implementing and using traffic data effectively.“Super-converting stores”: how to identify them and learn from their best practices.Key TakeawaysTraffic without conversion is wasted potential, sales success relies on both.Store traffic is precious and should be treated as a non-renewable resource.Simple data insights empower frontline teams and drive accountability.Only half of retailers measure traffic and many fail to use the data they collect.Benchmark your best stores: small conversion gains across the chain mean big revenue increases.Labour allocation matters, align staff schedules with peak traffic to capture more sales.Purchase Mark's latest book on Amazon: Store Traffic Is A GiftCatch up on past episodes on your favourite podcast platform and hit follow for weekly updates!

Send us a textWhat makes a consultancy truly valuable to potential buyers? It's far more than just impressive EBIT DA figures and client lists.David Blois, a certified accountant with 25 years of M&A experience in the professional services sector, reveals the three critical boxes every successful acquisition must tick: chemistry between the parties, cultural alignment in working practices, and an outstanding combined business proposition. His insights challenge the conventional wisdom that focuses solely on financials."Buyers are fairly simple creatures," Bloys explains, highlighting their preference for straightforward acquisitions that align with strategic objectives without requiring complex restructuring. This reinforces why niche-focused consultancies typically attract more interest and higher valuations than generalist firms.For consultancy owners planning an exit, timing is everything. Engaging with M&A specialists 2-3 years before your intended sale allows you to systematically address value-limiting factors. Common weaknesses include absence of second-tier management, inadequate margins, poor systems, and over-reliance on referral business. By understanding what creates premium factors versus discount factors in your valuation, you can strategically enhance your firm's worth.Perhaps most valuable is Bloys' practical advice on earnouts - keep them to 2-3 years maximum and ensure targets are realistically achievable. The success of these arrangements hinges on that initial chemistry and cultural fit established at the deal's outset.Whether you're running a £5 million or £50 million consultancy, these principles apply. The gap in valuation multiples between smaller and larger firms isn't as dramatic as many believe, particularly when smaller firms find buyers who recognize strong synergistic benefits.Want to maximize your consultancy's value? Focus on building a distinctive, specialized business with robust fundamentals rather than prematurely orienting your strategy around potential buyers. When sale time arrives, work with specialists who can connect you with multiple potential acquirers - finding not just the highest price, but the right match for long-term success.Prof. Joe O'Mahoney helps boutique consultancies scale and exit.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, co-hosts Arjun Paliwal and Adrian Lee from InvestorKit, and Jack Fouracre from Fouracre Financial, are joined by financial planner Simran Dhillon from Abundant Advisory to explore how property investment can fit into a broader financial strategy. Drawing on his experience at Commonwealth Bank and running his own practice, Simran stresses the importance of diversifying between property and shares to manage risk. The co-hosts emphasise that high-income tech professionals must strategically plan around equity compensation while using debt wisely to grow wealth without overconcentrating in property, and ensuring sufficient liquidity for retirement. This episode also covers self-managed super funds, advising caution for those with low balances due to costs and risks. Simran highlights that good debt builds wealth, while bad debt fuels consumption, and stresses the importance of insurance and protection following major life events, such as having children or facing serious health issues.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Rob Le from Finni Mortgages to unpack the often-misunderstood world of serviceability and how it shapes an investor's ability to build wealth. From overtime income to voluntary super contributions, Phil and Rob explore the factors that can make or break borrowing capacity – and how lender policies can vary more than many realise. They dive into why income isn't just your base salary, how deductions like HECS-HELP can be managed strategically, and why disciplined spending habits in the months before applying for a loan can pay off in spades. The conversation also explores the role of non-bank lenders, their more flexible policies, and when higher rates may be worth the trade-off for greater borrowing power. Phil and Rob share practical strategies for presenting the strongest possible case to lenders, and explain why working with a savvy mortgage broker can give investors the edge they need to grow their portfolio faster.

In this solo episode, I delve deep into a topic that could revolutionise your understanding of cardiovascular health. The focus shifts from the conventional marker, LDL cholesterol, to a more predictive measure that has been right under our noses. Prepare to have your mind blown as I unpack decades of research, dismantles myths, and unveil practical steps for a healthier life. What You'll Learn: The Real Marker of Risk: Discover a much stronger predictor of cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk than LDL cholesterol. Challenging Norms: Understand why relying solely on LDL cholesterol is like flipping a coin when assessing heart disease risk. A Game-Changer: Learn about the Framingham study's revelation that this measure is 3 to 5 times more predictive of heart attack risk. Impacts Beyond Heart Health: Find out how this ratio also predicts risk for metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. Practical Steps: Explore dietary and lifestyle changes that can improve your key ratio, enhancing overall metabolic health. Key Takeaways: The triglyceride to HDL ratio offers a more accurate risk assessment than focusing solely on LDL cholesterol. Maximising heart and metabolic health involves more than just medication; lifestyle changes play a crucial role. Understanding your body's response to carbohydrates is key to optimising your lipid profile. The medical community's focus on LDL cholesterol is outdated—empower yourself with current research to guide your health decisions. Simple changes such as low-carb diets, exercise, and intermittent fasting can significantly impact your health outcomes.

Architects are increasingly recognising that our built environments do more than shelter us—they fundamentally shape our physical and mental wellbeing. Dr Tuwanda Green, a leading expert in biophilic design, an architect, and who sits on the board of the Biophilic Institute, has over 32 years of architectural experience including working for government design projects, and holds a doctorate in architecture from Virginia Tech. She argues that thoughtfully designed spaces using the principles of Biophilia can actually alter our genetic expression and improve generational health.Tuwanda is an expert on Epigenetics—a field of genetic research. In our conversation she explains how environmental factors can switch genes on and off without changing DNA sequences. Think of epigenetic markers like "gumballs" stuck to our genetic code, potentially influencing everything from stress responses to disease susceptibility."These markers can be passed down through generations," explains Tuwanda. "A stressful, nature-deprived environment could potentially transmit negative genetic expressions to our children, while nurturing, nature-connected spaces might help reverse these markers."Recent scientific studies support this perspective. Research has consistently demonstrated that exposure to green spaces correlates with significant health improvements:- Reduced cardiovascular disease risks- Lower blood pressure- Decreased stress hormone levels- Improved cognitive function- Enhanced mental health and emotional regulationIn our Journal of Biophilic Design podcast and the articles in the Journal itself, we often talk about how green spaces aren't just aesthetic additions—they're critical health interventions. Tuwanda here, shares that by incorporating natural elements like water features, organic shapes, natural lighting, and plant life, architects can create environments that actively support human physiological and psychological functioning.The principles of biophilic design extend beyond mere decoration. They're rooted in understanding human evolutionary biology. Our bodies are fundamentally designed for natural environments, with sensory systems finely tuned to detect subtle environmental cues. Modern buildings often disconnect us from these innate biological rhythms."We've existed as homo sapiens for millennia in natural settings," Tuwanda emphasises. "Our brains are still processing environmental information subconsciously, seeking safety, resources, and connection."Practical biophilic design strategies include:- Maximising natural light exposure- Creating visual connections with nature- Incorporating water features and natural sounds- Using organic, textured materials- Designing spaces that encourage movement and social interactionTuwanda's own community at Serenbe (where the Biophilic Institute is based) exemplifies these principles. Curved streets, clustered housing, centralized communal spaces, and abundant green trails naturally encourage neighbourly interactions and physical activity.The potential societal implications are profound. By redesigning our environments with human biology in mind, we could potentially:- Reduce chronic stress- Improve community cohesion- Support mental health- Mitigate intergenerational trauma- Create more resilient, adaptive human populationsAs climate change and urbanisation accelerate, biophilic design offers a holistic approach to human-centred architecture. It's not just about creating beautiful spaces, but about understanding and supporting our fundamental biological needs."Design creates communities. Well-designed environments can foster connection, support health, and potentially even contribute to world peace."Our built environments are powerful determinants of human health. By embracing biophilic design principles, we can create spaces that don't just house us, but actively heal and nurture us.If you like this, please subscribe!Have you got a copy of the Journal?

In this episode, we chat with Wilson Monteiro, Global Business Line Manager for Gearless Mill Drives at ABB who are a leading provider of technologies and solutions for various industries, such as mining in motion, process and robotics. Wilson tells us about ABB, gearless technology, predictive maintenance, automation, digitalisation, and much more around the process and technology space. KEY TAKEAWAYS Wilson has a diverse background in electrical engineering, sales, and management, with extensive experience in automation and artificial intelligence. His career has spanned various roles at ABB and other companies, leading to his current position managing the gearless mill drive business globally. Uptime is critical in the mining industry, not only for profit but also for sustainability. Keeping machinery operational minimises CO2 emissions and maximises the efficiency of existing assets, which is increasingly important as the industry faces pressure to reduce emissions and improve productivity. Gearless mill drives (GMDs) are highlighted as a more energy-efficient solution compared to traditional technologies, offering up to 3.6% energy savings. This efficiency is significant when considering the large number of GMDs in operation globally, contributing to lower carbon footprints in mining operations. The shift towards integrated electrification, automation, and digitalisation is essential for modern mining operations. This integration leads to safer operations, fewer personnel on-site, and improved communication between systems, ultimately enhancing productivity and safety. Predictive maintenance, powered by AI, allows for proactive management of equipment by using real-time data to anticipate issues before they occur. This approach not only extends the life of machinery but also enhances operational efficiency and safety by reducing unexpected breakdowns. BEST MOMENTS "Uptime used to be all about profit. Today, it's about sustainability, too. Even a small hiccup can mean millions in lost production." "GMDs cut out mechanical losses because there is no gearbox or coupling. That alone gives you up to 3.6% energy savings." "It's not cost versus reliability. They go hand in hand. Reliable systems mean fewer unexpected shutdowns, which means fewer people exposed to risk." "Historically, mining has always been an industry slow to adopt change. There's a "Today, I can see some companies moving in a different pattern. Tech Quebrada Blanca is one of them; they have the best approach for operating a mine."

Maximising email sign-ups is the name of the game in our latest chat. We dive deep into the effectiveness of using mystery offers over straightforward discounts, revealing how this simple tweak can significantly boost opt-in rates. I recently tested this with a luxury home brand, and we saw a jump from 12% to 18% in email sign-ups, proving that a little mystery goes a long way. We also explore the importance of running A/B tests on pop-ups, focusing on elements like graphics and copy to see what resonates best with your audience. By the end, you'll be armed with practical strategies to enhance your email marketing efforts and truly optimise your approach moving forward.This insightful episode brings to light the often-overlooked power of email pop-ups in the eCommerce landscape. Shaan Arora, the founder of Alia, joins the conversation to shed light on how effective pop-ups can significantly enhance email sign-up rates and, ultimately, sales. He shares a recent success story where a simple pivot from standard discount offers to a mystery offer resulted in a remarkable increase in email opt-ins, demonstrating the effectiveness of curiosity-driven engagement. Sian's insights challenge the conventional wisdom that bigger discounts always lead to better results, revealing that the way an offer is presented can have a profound impact on customer behavior. Listeners are guided through the essential components of crafting compelling pop-ups, with Sian emphasizing the need for A/B testing to optimize every element. He discusses the common pitfalls brands face, such as neglecting the testing process or failing to update their pop-up designs. Through various examples, he illustrates how testing different graphics, copy, and offers can uncover hidden opportunities to boost sign-up rates and, by extension, sales. The episode underscores the idea that brands should approach pop-up strategies with the same level of optimization and analysis they apply to other marketing channels. The conversation also touches on the timing and context of pop-up displays, suggesting that brands should aim to present pop-ups within the first 10 seconds of a user's visit to capitalize on their initial interest. Sian advocates for multi-stage pop-ups that engage users with relevant questions before asking for their email addresses, noting that this technique can lead to higher conversion rates. By the end of the episode, listeners are equipped with actionable strategies to refine their email pop-up tactics, ensuring they can effectively grow their email lists and enhance their overall marketing performance.Takeaways: Using mystery offers instead of fixed percentage discounts can significantly boost email opt-in rates. It's essential to test various elements of your pop-ups, like graphics and copy, to optimize performance. Running multi-stage pop-ups has shown to increase user commitment and improve signup rates effectively. Brands often overlook the importance of ongoing A/B testing for their pop-up strategies and should treat them similarly to ads. Zero party data questions can enhance engagement by tailoring the pop-up experience to customer interests. Timing is crucial; displaying pop-ups within the first 10 seconds of page load is generally recommended for optimal engagement.
