Podcasts about Northern Beaches

Send us a textIn this episode, we sit down with two of Fever-Tree's key leaders - Grant Howard, General Manager, and Alanna Gibson, Head of Strategy - whose very different journeys converged at one of the most dynamic brands in premium beverages.Originally from York in the UK, Alanna's entrepreneurial spirit showed up early. From lemonade stands to crepe carts and ice-cream stores, she spent her school years discovering a love for business that led her to study at the University of Bath and later to Australia through a six-month exchange at the University of Queensland. Her career began in consulting, where she worked across everything from fast-food expansion to retail loyalty programs before relocating to Australia to advise major retailers and consumer goods companies.Grant's path began on the opposite side of the world. Born and raised on Sydney's Northern Beaches, he developed a passion for sales and customer service through early roles at NAB and Woolworths while studying Business at the University of Newcastle. He went on to spend 16 years at Lion and completed an MBA along the way.Together, Grant and Alanna share insights on career building, cross-industry learning, leadership, and how their unique backgrounds inform their work at Fever-Tree. If you're exploring your future in sales, marketing, or strategy - or simply love a great career story - this episode is packed with sharp lessons and inspiration.

Scott began his greenkeeping career not long out of year 10 at school on Sydney's Northern Beaches in an era when it wasn't unrealistic to wear thongs and no shirt working in the hot summer sun out on course. Yes, this is Australia! Scott had the privilege of learning and working under some of, not only Sydney's, but Australia's leading greenkeeping professionals. After a long start to his career at Manly Golf Club under people such as John Odell, it was soon time to take the reigns for himself and he landed the superintendent's role at Mona Vale Golf Club, still on the Northern Beaches.Scott spent a number of years working on course before things would take a turn through some challenging times with committee members and he decided it was time to move away from Mona Vale and working directly with turf. Scott took on a role as a sales rep for an industry company which he would continue for many years learning lots of different things from "the other side". Eventually falling out of favour with the sales side of the industry Scott gravitated back to working hands on with turf but it was a bumpy ride before an opportunity presented itself to be a greenkeeper at Hamilton Island Golf Club in the Whitsundays of North Queensland.This chat has everything and them some in it. I went to Hamilton Island to sit down with Scott for this chat and he doesn't disappoint. We talk about everything from long lost types of machinery, reminisce about old colleagues and peers, discuss what it means to be a team on course, and then there's the travelling around the world for golf, a brush with Clint Eastwood working at Congressional for the US Open, and of course an insight into Hamilton Island Golf Club and the challenges of the current weather conditions. This is a wild and fun ride so get your six point racing harness on and strap in!You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper - Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Golfing Greenkeeper TV - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send me an email to - thegolfinggreenkeeper@gmail.comPeople and places mentioned in this podcast:Hamilton Island Golf ClubManly Golf ClubMona Vale Golf ClubTerrey Hills Golf and Country ClubSussex Inlet Golf ClubMollymook Golf ClubCongressional Country ClubCypress Point Club - Monterey Peninsula GolfPebble Beach Golf LinksPasatiempo Golf ClubDr. Alister MacKenzie - The Alister MacKenzie SocietyMarion Hollins - Marion Hollins Memorial ProjectSt Andrews LinksRoyal Troon Golf ClubCarnoustie Golf LinksBarnbougleEP.63 Keeper of the Greens - Brad HoleEP.70 Keeper of the Greens - Pat WilsonEP.127 Keeper of the Greens - Mark SpraggsEP.135 Steve's Random Special Guest - Mike O'Keeffe (Ohio State Program)

In 2021, a neatly dressed man in his 60s walks into a Sydney Police Station. He looks like a regular guy. But police are stunned - this isn’t just any man. It’s Darko Desic. A fugitive who escaped from Grafton Prison with a hacksaw and bolt cutters three decades earlier. A man who was a prolific weed grower. A man who lived in hiding for 30 years - right under the noses of the police. How did he do it? How did he evade capture for so long? And why, after all that time, did he finally give himself up?

Sydney's Northern Beaches have long been a quietly influential breeding ground for Australia's most thoughtful, genre-defying artists — and with their debut album Dope Folk, Sky Juice Duo not only continue that tradition, they elevate it.

INXS: Access all Areas is guest month; where we are pleased to welcome famed Australian Producer, Author, Business Owner and Order of Australia (AM) recipient in 2020 from the Queen to the Podcast. With the recent passing of the iconic Beach Boys Co-Founder and musical maestro Brian Wilson, we were inspired to get a “little musical” and dive deep on the art of the “vocalist”. With production techniques and recordings evolving so much between the 1950's through to the late 1970's, we pay homage to Brian, his band mates and other artists that created a foundation that our very own INXS benefited from once they emerged from the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Mark Opitz shares some fascinating insights dating back to 1978 where as a young emerging Producer with Albert's Music (home of AC/DC, The Easybeats, Rose Tattoo and The Angels) got the opportunity to work with the Beach Boys and Brian over a weekend when touring Australia. Combining these vital recent production successes and techniques, INXS were to become the future beneficiaries of Mark's sonic skills which lean into.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the incredibly talented Rob Carlton. Rob is an award-winning actor, writer, director and an all-round brilliant storyteller, who grew up near Nicola and Di’s backfence on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. He’s been in so many memorable shows which you may have seen, including A Country Practice, Underbelly, Paper Giants, Black Snow, Boy Swallows Universe and The White Lotus, to name just a few. He also hosts Bravewords Live, with his wife Adrienne Ferreira, an event which brings wildly entertaining true stories to the stage. Bravewords Live has been such a success over the years, that they’ve now decided to bring these incredible stories to you with the Bravewords Podcast, which will be launching at the end of the month. In this episode we get all The White Lotus goss from Rob. He shares how secretive it was from the very beginning, when he first received the script to audition for ‘The Secret Garden’. He talks about how much mystery there was surrounding the show, from the script to the filming locations, and how great it was to be a part of the show. He talks about the fun the cast had on set, the friendships he made, the sketchy past of the superyacht they were filming on, and what it was like working with Mike White. Rob also give us such a great take on why he thinks The White Lotus became such a huge hit, and the Mike White magic that lies at the heart of this show. We also hear what it was like to become Kerry Packer, for his Logie award-winning performance in Paper Giants. Rob shares such an honest story of how he almost lost the opportunity before he even had the role, because of the way he was being driven by fear and self-sabotage. As well as his wonderful work in TV, we chat to Rob about Bravewords - his live storytelling events that he hosts with his wife Adrienne. The next one is coming up on June 29th at Avoca Beach Theatre with Larry Emdur. The good news is, over the years they’ve curated hundreds of brilliant true stories, and are about to release this as the Bravewords Podcast in the coming weeks. And it’s not all career chat in this episode with Rob. He also opens up about his family relationships - the magnificent lessons from his parents, what makes his marriage work, the power of having difficult conversations and the way that he tries to parent his 21-year-old twin boys. This is such a beautiful and rich conversation with Rob, and we hope you love it as much as we did.
