In this episode, Fergus is joined by Mick Hawkes, former 22 SAS, undercover surveillance operator and security consultant. Mick has lived a fascinating life. He grew up wanting to be a professional footballer, but an unsuccessful trial at Lincoln City put his dream on hold. He joined the military at 16, serving with the Parachute Regiment  and 29 Commando before eventually taking on SAS selection. After ending up in hospital and failing the first time, he successfully passed on the 2nd attempt. Mick spent 14 years in the SAS and operated all over the world, including Bosnia, where he was taken prisoner alongside Billy Billingham. As well as this, Mick conducted successful surveillance operations with The Det in Northern Ireland and even worked with MI5. After leaving the military, he went onto work in the corporate world, providing security consultancy to large organisations and now runs Hawkes and Co with his daughter, delivering training to multiple sectors including schools and agriculture. Mick shares details of his childhood, his career in the military, what it was like working undercover in the surveillance world, his experience of being captured in Bosnia, many of the lessons learned and much much more… Expect to gain insight into the hidden world of surveillance. Expect to reflect on how you overcome challenges in life. Expect to understand more on the mindset required to be a special forces operator. Mick is also releasing a book called Life On The Edge, dedicated to his co-writer Nicole Johnston, who sadly passed away very recently.

Born into a military family, Mick attended 14 schools over his childhood. His dream of being a professional footballer came to an end after an unsuccessful trial with Lincoln City and he visited the careers office aged 16 to join the 1975 junior paras course. An ankle injury left him unable to perform any jumps, and Mick briefly left the army before rejoining 29 Commando. Passing SAS Selection on the second attempt, Mick went on to serve 14 years in B Squadron, and received his QCB for efforts in Northern Ireland. Mick was deployed to the UAE for the first Gulf War, and then posted to Bosnia, where he was taken prisoner. After leaving the regiment, Mick moved into corporate security, where he would carve out a 22 year career in locations like Kazakhstan and Nigeria. Mick and his daughter now run Hawkes And Co, and deliver security training for a number of sectors, including agriculture and rural crime prevention. Mick is releasing a book in the near future, dedicated to his co-writer Nicole Johnston, who has recently passed away.

Anna McAfee recently joined Lesley for a fascinating conversation about belonging, community, purpose, and how to implement social media for good. With a passion for taking the power of implementing values from small community groups to great industry Anna shares what she learned through the development of what became a worldwide phenomenon, #LinkedinLocal. What started as a simple human idea to help people strip away the sales pitch and replace it with a heart for diversity and authenticity, Anna and her team supported people worldwide in learning the importance of how to show up in community. Join Lesley and Anna for a powerful peek into how this simple idea, based on values driven commitment, had a social impact that ranges from special focus charities to support communities for immigrants in a new country. Anna's vision of building sustainable communities from online to offline is filling gaps in the lives of people in over 92 countries. Anna is continuing to join with global warriors to create brave conversations about how we find belonging as humans, create safe spaces, and how we can lose them, if not intentional.     BIO: Anna McAfee is a Community Curator, LinkedIn Trainer and Author, driven to help individuals and businesses build better and more authentic connections in our digital world and real-life worlds. This thirst for deeper connection is what inspired her to build the #LinkedInLocal. A digital movement that inspired people around the world to take their online chats offline; to leave their sales pitches at home and connect in an authentic way…in the real world. From New Zealand, to India, Africa, Helsinki and across the United States, over the short time span of 22 months the #LinkedInLocal movement inspired professionals from 92 countries to step out from behind their laptops and take an interest in their neighbors. #LinkedInLocal has since been validated by LinkedIn.    Anna has a passion for exploring the idea of belonging, and not just how to build communities but how we show up in community.  Based on her experience with #LinkedinLocal, Anna came to understand the truth in, “A little bit of support will take people a long way.” How a Hashtag Changed the World: Stories, Lessons and Reflections from the #LinkedInLocal Movement by Anna McAfee and Nicole Johnston https://www.amazon.com/How-Hashtag-Changed-World-LinkedInLocal/dp/0646823000   Contact Anna: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annamcafee/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annamcafee/ URL: www.annamcafee.com.au - can message here or through LinkedIn

#105 - Nicole Johnston - From the wrong side of the tracks to Downing Street Nicole tells us her story about how she went from the wrong side of the tracks to Downing Street. We talk about: Wanting to be Australia's Prime Minister when she was five years old. Her first meeting with Gordon Brown and White House officials. And her advice for Donald Trump. Nicole had a misspent youth in politics and government advising senior ministers in the UK and Australia, including Gordon Brown and Boris. She loved working in government. She felt she could change the world.  Nicole is now an author, ghostwriter and book coach. She loves helping people finish their books – whether business or fiction. She is a passionate believer in the healing capacity of writing. Seth Godin is right – the book that will change our lives is the one we write ourselves.

In this insightful episode Veronica Morgan and Chris Bates chat with Dr. Nicole Johnston, socio-legal researcher and senior lecturer at Deakin University. Nicole has spearheaded the development industry, shining the spotlight on defective developments in her university published report “An Examination of Building Defects in Residential Multi-owned Properties”. The report highlights the severity of the development industry, analysing 3227 defects across 212 buildings in NSW, Victoria and Queensland. In today's episode our hosts discuss the problems plaguing the development industry and how they can redeem themselves in the coming years when truth surrounding their dodgy dealings spills. Here's what we covered: The risks of buying brand new. Why NSW is the riskiest state to buy a new apartment. Why is there very little research on new buildings? What happens to tenants with defects and the red tape involved? Water related defects are the most costly and common defect. Why does home and contents insurance not protect you from defects? Why you should always invest more into a specialised property lawyer How do we make quality builds and also solve the housing affordability crisis Will developers make the first stand and take ownership for defects? Rectification costs never capitalised when you go to sell. Cheap apartment = Costly endeavour.

Topic:  The Truth about the Law of Attraction   Jaclyn Nicole Johnston  Best Selling author of “Don't Feel Stuck!”  Manifestation & Mindset Coach  Q:  When did you discover the Law of Attraction?  Did it work for you right away?   A:  I only discovered it about 3 years ago.  I work with physicists. I only bought “The Secret” about 3 years ago.    I love science & psychology.  The Law of Attraction is an actual physical law.  I did my own experiment to see if it worked, and I manifested a great amount in my life in only 10 months.  I was fascinated, so I wrote a book about it.  Q:  You said you manifested 99% of your desires in 10 months.  What were they?    A:  The Law of Attraction is actually very simple.  It's not a complex process. I practiced and manifested a new car, got out of $29 K of debt, and my book went best seller.  I manifested my best friend & soul mate. He was exactly who I wrote out about how I wanted our relationship to be. I met Bruce Springsteen (My icon)    It works.   Q:  You also recently wrote an article on manifesting weight loss.    A:  Yes, it was serendipitous because I raised my level of consciousness.  I started accepting myself & my body the way I am, and the stress left my body.  Q:  I want to dive into the common misconceptions about the LOA.  What are some other misconceptions?    A:  Teachers and Gurus don't always say… it CAN be an instant gratification process, but it isn't always.   It can happen fast as soon as you surrender to not knowing the outcome.   When you stop trying to control your surroundings, and stop struggling so much, you can go with the flow and release the outcome.     It's always working.  When you struggle you're pushing it away, so what you're trying to manifest takes longer to come to you.    Thoughts have a particle vibrations.  Feelings have an intensified vibration of energy.  Energy can't be created or destroyed, it can only be influenced upon itself.    It works by saying: “This is what I want… this is what I'm choosing to be open & available to”    You can compound the effect by taking consistent daily action, and let go of the need to control the outcome and the surroundings.  Q:  How do you take action, without trying to control and cause resistance to what we want?    A:  It's like a balancing act (kids toy example)    Trying not to have a strong attachment to it, because that is subconsciously pushing it farther away.  (Let go of needy attachment)    It's more like a choice.  I'm going to do this. Set your intention on receiving what you want.  You can turn up the volume, and practice becoming who/what you are creating.    As though you are an actor.  Practicing/playing the role of what you're becoming.    It's about making the decision and not wavering at all with it.   Q:  Can you take us through the Manifesting process?    A:   Everyone in the world wants something to believe in.     It's a process of trusting yourself, and trusting the process.  Really & truly choosing the thought that you want to focus on.   I take at least 5 min/day and write out everything that I'm calling into my physical sphere.  I write it as though it's already there, and I express gratitude (saying thank you).    Turn up the volume of your choice/volume/focus.     Practice and train yourself into your new role.     Breakdown old beliefs and let them go, re-establish new beliefs.    I usually finish by saying something like:     “I am now allowing the universe to reflect my desires back to me”    Saying thank you in advance, letting go of the attachment    Relax and have fun.  Like attracts like. Allow change.  There's no such thing in the universe that is constant, except for change.  Q:  Can you relate your process to how you cleared all of that debt?    A:  It took me about 2 years to change my mindset about money energy.  Once I was able to approach money from a different angle, I was writing things like:    I know everything is ok  I know it's going to work out  I'm going to let this go.  Money isn't that important to me.  My happiness is more important    I fully gave up and said: “I am done trying to figure this out.''  I felt a huge physical weight lift when I made this choice.  Q:  Can you describe this weight lifting off your shoulders?    A:  It was the particle vibration lifting away.  It was a deliberate choice to say: “I am no longer available for this feeling”.  The universe reflected my choice back to me.    When I surrendered, and decided to focus more on the things in my life that made me happy, the energy just shifted.   Q:  What I'm really hearing from you is the surrendering piece.  The willingness to let go of the outcome is what gets us into the receptive mode.    A:  It's like releasing the energy when you take the lid off a soda.  Let go of the pressure (the attachment) and it gets so much lighter.   Q:  What are some actionable steps that people can take today to start implementing the Law of Attraction into their life?    A:  Make the commitment to me, and to yourself.   It's about believing in yourself.     Start your day with intention.  Journal what you choose to focus on for the day.    Become more self-aware:  Put alarms in your phone (3-4x/day) and take time to self-reflect.    Journal at least 5 min/day.    If you write something down and it doesn't feel right, practice getting familiar with it.  How to Work with Jaclyn:   *If you're looking for support with manifestation and Law of Attraction, Jaclyn works 1-1 with people.    *Clouds + Dirt community gets 25% discount on these 1-1 sessions   *Includes a 1-1 consultation, and she will create prompts to send to you after to provide guidance and help you with your focus.  Website: https://www.manifestit.online/  #1 Best-Selling Don't Feel Stuck! book:  https://www.amazon.com/author/jaclynjohnston , 1:1, 1-Hour Consultation and Training: (catered prompts and guidance given afterward to realign and/or start you new path):  https://www.manifestit.online/manifesting-programs  Instagram: www.instagram.com/journalgirljaclyn/
