Message us.In this fifth episode of Season Eleven, host Andrew Martin meets Australian genealogist, tech and AI fan, and former school teacher Andrew Redfern - whom some of you may recognise from the podcast Ironclad Sisterhood which uncovers the lives of convict women in Australia.THE LIFE STORY - WILLIAM MILLWARD BESTWICKAndrew has chosen to tell the life story of his 3x Gt Grandfather William Millward Bestwick whose life has left a fascinating paper trail. William is born in 1818 in Derbyshire in England, but in the early 1830's his family migrated to the US. In the 1840s/early 1850s, William had been part of the Santa Fe Trail trade route, writes a letter who explains that he was captured during this and worked on a Man of War ship but escapes and eventually ends up in Australia. Meanwhile, his mother Amy was completely unaware that he was still alive.William did leave Australia to return to the US, but the ship was turned around and William was escorted off the ship as he was bankrupt and trying to escape his creditors.Andrew has worked hard to find the trail of documents scattered around the world, including a letter to the US President of the time. THE BRICK WALL - ROBERT REDFERNAnother globetrotting 3x Gt Grandfather is up next - this time Robert Redfern is causing Andrew a headache with his research.  Robert was born circa 1770, and he ends up in jail, then finds himself in Portugal, then the USA, then the UK and eventually Australia... but Andrew is wanting to know about his early life, which stems back to Ireland.However, Andrew can't find details about Robert's birth or baptism, and his cousins even consulted Australia's top psychic to help - who advised them to look for a slave trade connection.  DNA has also thrown some curious matches, and what seems to be a name change from O'Neill to Redfern...Can you help find Robert Redfern's birth or baptism?If you think you can help Andrew with a research idea or clue, then you can message him via the email address he gives in the episode or check out his website. Alternatively, you can send us a message and we'll pass it right along.In the meantime, Andrew and Sándor offer guest Andrew some help... but things are about to get complicated...- - -Episode Credits:Andrew Martin - Host and ProducerAndrew Redfern - GuestJohn Spike - Sándor PetőfiSupport the showThank you for listening!

Every episode of OOTB is special, but today is a bit different… today is the release day of “double take recognition violence,” the second album from sydney producer and dj gi. This is gi’s follow up to thought makes music, one of the best albums of 2024, and nominated for record of the year at the 2024 smac awards, and with this, she picks up where she left off. Gi’s signature take on “idm,” is unmistakable, but evolved with double take recognition violence, putting more of a focus on atmosphere and less on the experimental drum and bass sounds, and the result is breathtaking. Gigi, who performs and releases electronic music as gi also fronts the punk band optic nerve, who last released angel numbers in 2023, another record that was nominated for record of the year at the fbi smac awards. Truly one of the most innovative and thoughtful artists in Sydney, i’m lucky to be joined by gigi on ootb today. This episode was presented to you by Matt Do and produced by Kass Vincent.

The Collins EliteThe "Collins Elite" is a term popularized by author Nick Redfern for an alleged secret group of U.S. government insiders, military personnel, and intelligence officials who believe UFOs are not extraterrestrial, but rather demonic or supernatural, and therefore represent a threat. They reportedly view UFO phenomena as deceptive, fallen angels or, in some interpretations, "interdimensional" beings. Key Aspects of the Collins Elite:Core Belief: They believe UFOs are demonic/supernatural, not aliens from other planets.Motivation: They allegedly suppressed UFO research because they believed researching it could trigger a dangerous "spiritual warfare" or provoke satanic forces.Origin: The concept was detailed in Nick Redfern's book Final Events.Critique: Christian scholar Michael S. Heiser and others have heavily criticized the claims, dismissing them as lacking credibility.Association: The group has been associated with claims by former U.S. government official Luis Elizondo regarding internal government opposition to Ufology based on religious perspectives. Nick Redfern, Final Events and the Secret Government Group on Demonic UFOs and the Afterlife (Anomalist Books, 2010).Michael S.

Nick Redfern returns to the show to talk about his latest book, Close Enounters of the Fatal Kind. First, though we spend a time talking about Bigfoot, Monsters, and the paranormal in general. Redfern is one the world's most sought-after speakers and media spokespersons on the science of animals whose existence has not been proven (until now) and the existence of animals considered to be extinct. He has appeared on more than 100 radio and TV programs, from the BBC to Fox News, MSNBC and National Geographic. Monster Files lays out the persistent rumors, tales, and legends that government agencies around the world have secretly collected, and the book reveals a wide variety of hair-raising data on bizarre beasts, amazing animals, and strange creatures. No longer the subject of just folk tales and bedtime stories, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, sea serpents, psychic pets, the chupacabras, and abominable snowmen have all been sighted, documented and hidden from the public. In his inimitable, entertaining style, Redfern ferrets out this official, ultra-classified information. Monsters, creepy creatures, and terrifying beasts really do exist––our governments know all about them––Monster Files exposes them.

This week's show is a Special Commemoration  broadcast honouring Aboriginal teenager Tj Hickey. Tj, a 17-year-arold teenager, was killed in February 2004 after  racist police chased him through the streets of Redfern when he was riding his bicycle. The result? He was impaled on a fence and he died at the hands of police. First up we heard from Aunty Dianne, a strong First Nations woman and relative of Tj. She spoke about Tj Hickey and police investigating police. Lots of grief was expressed about his death and the ongoing campaign for justice led by Tj's mother Gail.

It was also discussed that the National Apology speeches included harmful stereotypes and minimization of past injustices, reflecting broader systemic racism that persists in contemporary policies.

Kia ora e te whānau. Welcome to the second of our DCR Summer Series episodes, where we'll be bringing you our most popular conversations from 2025. This week, we've got a double header, throwing it back to July when Sam Harvey made his DCR three-peat and spoke to Andrew McDowall about (literally) running himself to a standstill as the assist in the world-record-breaking 118-hour/790 km knock at Dead Cow Gully. Then, we bring you Andrew's conversation with Stephen Redfern. Stephen is notable for several reasons, including his ongoing feud with Andrew (Which is odd, as they are great mates) and his standing as an incredible endurance athlete. Andrew caught up with Stephen about his journey into the mind of one Lazarus Lake, following his podium finish at The Last Annual Heart of the South road race, a 400-mile self-propelled adventure through six Southern states of the USA.  We'll see you next week on Jan 14th for our first AidStation of the year.

Adam Reynolds grew up in the Sydney suburb of Redfern - the heartland of the South Sydney Rabbitohs. A gifted junior footy player, he quickly rose through the ranks, taking home plenty of awards and ultimately winning the NRL premiership in 2014. But he shocked the NRL community in 2021 when he left the Rabbitohs to head north and captain the Brisbane Broncos - leading them to victory in the 2025 NRL Grand Final. But his success hasn't been without its struggles. He's battled multiple injuries throughout his career, the latest sidelining him as the Broncos beat the Melbourne Storm to take home the 2025 Premiership. Now Adam is detailing the highs and lows of his career in his memoir 'On My Own Terms'. Adam spoke with Ant about his determination to get through injuries, how his young family inspires him and the power of teamwork.

In this episode of Journey to Legacy, former pro cyclist and 8-figure entrepreneur Draye Redfern shares how he sold a company to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, built a profitable agency from scratch, and found freedom through systems and simplicity.Whether you're stuck in scope creep, overwhelmed with marketing chaos, or chasing growth that doesn't feel sustainable, this is your blueprint for scaling smarter, not harder.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training What would happen if one client lawsuit, one hacked account, or one missed renewal completely wiped out your agency? Have you ever stopped to think about how exposed your business really is even if you're “doing everything right”? Today's featured guest started his career working in the insurance industry and eventually found a love for marketing. He talks about the side of agency life most people ignore: protecting what you've built, and breaks down how to safeguard your business with the right insurance, why every agency should have cyber liability coverage, and how a “give first” mindset has helped him land major clients like Daymond John, Chris Voss, and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. Draye Redfern is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of Redfern Media and FractionalCMO. Over the past decade, he's built and sold multiple companies, including a $40M insurance agency acquired by one of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries. With 15 years in risk management and a passion for modern marketing, Draye now helps businesses scale smarter while protecting their downside. In this episode, we'll discuss: How “Growth Blindness” Can Hurt Your Business. The Hidden Risk Most Agencies Ignore. Why You Probably Need a Cyber Liability Insurance.

His dad owned a business, and by age 12, Draye was doing the grunt work: filing papers, scanning documents, and learning what it really meant to keep a company running. He had a front-row seat to the chaos and grit of small business. Over time, Draye realized he had a knack for marketing. His early ideas sometimes outperformed everyone else's, and by his early 20s, he was leading the marketing division of a $28 million firm. Under his direction, they scaled past $40 million in annual revenue. That success led to the company's eventual sale to none other than one of the Berkshire Hathaway companies. Stop Being Growth Blind and Start Protecting the Downside While most marketers are obsessed with lead flow and growth, Draye brings a completely different mindset to the table: protect the downside first. After spending 15 years insurance and the risk management world, he learned that too many businesses are “growth blind.” They're chasing top-line numbers while leaving themselves totally exposed if something goes wrong. For his part, Draye thinks about how to mitigate downside risks first and then, once he has that locked down, then he starts thinking about growth. Admittedly, it's backwards from how most people do it, but it's what makes the most sense to him.  The Hidden Risk Most Agencies Ignore Why does Draye prioritize mitigating downside growth? Most agencies don't think about errors and omissions (E&O) insurance until it's too late. One poorly worded ad, a leaked password, or a miscommunication with a client could lead to a lawsuit that costs hundreds of thousands—if not millions—in legal fees. That's why he recommends a basic “risk protection stack” for agency owners: General Liability – Covers physical damages or slip-and-fall type issues. Employment Practices (EPLI) – Protects against HR-related claims. Errors & Omissions (E&O) – Covers mistakes or oversights in your work. Cyber Liability – Protects against data breaches and hacks. As Draye puts it, marketing agencies hold the keys to dozens of client kingdoms. If you get hacked, they get hacked. Protect yourself first, then scale. Why Every Agency Owner Needs Cyber Liability (and What Happens If You Don't) Most agency owners assume general liability insurance has them covered. Slip-and-fall in the office? Sure. But what about when a client's site gets hacked because one of your team members reused a password? Or when a campaign you ran unintentionally exposes customer data? That's not covered: this is where cyber liability and errors & omissions (E&O) insurance come in. Here's where most people go wrong: they forget to renew. Unlike car or home insurance, E&O and cyber liability policies are “claims-made” policies. That means you're only covered if the policy is active when the claim is filed, not when the incident happened. So if you let your policy lapse, even for a few weeks, you could lose coverage for everything that happened in previous years. That's why many experienced owners “tail out” their policies when they sell or sunset a business. Tail coverage locks in past protection for a set number of years. It costs more upfront but prevents millions in potential exposure later. Keep your coverage active, review it annually, and don't cut corners to save a few hundred bucks. Think of it as part of your agency's operating system, not an optional add-on. Lessons From Selling to Berkshire Hathaway When Berkshire Hathaway came calling, he learned just how deep corporate due diligence can go. “They fly out all their MBAs and basically give your business a financial colonoscopy,” he joked. But that process forced him to see business from a different lens—as an asset, not a job. He walked away with not just a successful exit, but also a new appreciation for how structure, systems, and compliance create enterprise value. How to Get Big Clients: Ask Questions, Be in the Room, and Give First Draye's agency has publicly traded companies in its current client roster, with some notable names including Dr Benjamin Hardy and Chris Voss, and almost all of those brands came to his agency because Draye was in the right rooms to strike up conversation. As he puts it, successful people like to hang around other successful people. To him, his job in the agency at this point is figuring out how to get invited into the room with the right people, which includes joining masterminds and attending events. Even with big clients, Draye recommends offering value first without expecting anything in return. I'll give them an idea of the work you do and, if they like it, they'll have you in mind the next time they need agency services. For instance, after attending a talk by Dr. Benjamin Hardy, Draye had the chance to chat with him and learned he was pulling in over 30,000 email opt-ins a month but wasn't monetizing them. Instead of pitching a retainer, Draye built him a simple funnel — for free — that started generating $10,000 a month in passive revenue. A few months later, Hardy came back and asked, “What else can you do?” That turned into a long-term partnership and a roster of launches that ran for years. How to Stand Out and Make People Feel Seen Draye's other secret weapon is personalization. Not the lazy kind where someone drops your name into a cold email template. Real personalization. When a prospect says they're interested, his team clones a landing page, updates the name in the headline (“Welcome, John!”), and records a 30-second video personally greeting them. The whole process takes fifteen minutes, but it makes people feel like they matter, and that's the part most agencies forget. That simple touch has led to multiple referrals, long-term clients, and lasting loyalty. As Draye puts it, “People don't want to feel like a number. They want to feel like they matter.” This type of simple gesture is usually something clients talk about non-stop, because the more automated the world gets, the more human connection stands out. Old School Is the New Advantage While everyone else is obsessing over AI and inbox deliverability, Draye see a lot of potential on a forgotten channel: direct mail. “People's inboxes are full, but their mailboxes are empty,” he explained. “So, when something real shows up, it stands out.” He's seen massive ROI from direct mail, especially when paired with personalized URLs (PURLs) and custom video. It's more expensive upfront, sure, but it cuts through the noise. Something to keep in mind for agency owners trying to stand out at a time when your client's emails are probably inundated with the same offers everyone is sending out. From his own experience, he says “if I were to look at our client base across the various businesses, the vast majority came from direct mail.” Protect Your Business and Hang Out in Different Rooms Draye shares two pieces of advice for agency owners: You never know what's around the corner, so protect your business. Spend the couple thousand bucks on proper coverage. Don't risk your agency's future over something preventable. Change your rooms. If you only hang out with other marketers, you're limiting your reach. Take Jay Abraham's advice and go fishing in someone else's swimming hole. Attend events for other industries, add value, and you'll be amazed at who you meet. In short, Draye's philosophy blends practical protection with proactive growth. Be bold enough to give first, smart enough to protect what you've built, and intentional enough to show up where the right people are.

Nearly a year into his CFO role at Reltio, James Redfern still feels like he's catching up. “I've made some progress, but I'm definitely not where I… need to get,” he tells us. That steep learning curve was exactly what drew him to the company.Redfern didn't find the Reltio opportunity through recruiters. Instead, it surfaced during a casual conversation with a mentor. “I was actually looking at something else,” he recalls. “And he said, ‘Oh, if you're looking… I'm on the board of a company that's looking for a CFO.'” That kind of personal connection—what Redfern calls “psychic safety”—has guided his last two career moves. It's less about who you know casually, he tells us, and more about “people you actually have worked with.”At Reltio, Redfern stepped out of his comfort zone. After years in application-layer software companies like Workday and PayScale, he shifted into deep IT infrastructure. Reltio's platform ensures enterprise data is clean and consistent across systems—a need made more urgent by the rise of AI. “You need a reliable, unified view of your data,” he explains. “One customer equals one customer—not three different customers in three different systems.”With 190 customers and $160 million in annual recurring revenue, Reltio works with some of the world's largest enterprises. The company's mission, Redfern tells us, is to replace legacy systems like Informatica and IBM with cloud-native data unification at scale.For Redfern, the attraction wasn't the title. It was the challenge. “This is the kind of journey I committed myself to,” he says.
