HELLO MY SMILIES! Here is the link to book the last few spots in our magical Byron Bay 2026 retreat. And remember to subscribe over at passaroundthesmile.com to access our 20% storewide sale starting NOV 1 9am- NOV 3 - 9amIn this episode, we dive deep into the dance between intuition and fear and how to tell which one is guiding you.I unpack the difference between the two energies: how intuition feels calm, clear, and grounded, while fear feels noisy, urgent, and protective. We explore why our brains are wired to listen to fear first, and how to quiet the noise so we can hear that softer, wiser inner voice that's always been there.I also share three personal stories…. moments when I chose fear over intuition, and others when I trusted my gut and everything shifted. My hope is that through these stories, you'll start to recognise your own patterns and learn how to move with more trust, alignment, and confidence in your everyday decisions.If you've ever asked yourself, “Is this my intuition or just anxiety?” this one's for you.

This time, I had the chance to speak with Ben Rowe, Project Director at RIVERLEE, who's overseeing one of Melbourne's most ambitious urban transformations, the regeneration of the 'New Epping' precinct. It's a 50-hectare site that's evolved from a 10-year plan to a 20-year vision, and Ben's been at the centre of it for the last eight years.We get into the realities of managing a multi-decade, multi-asset development that includes housing, healthcare, commercial, and retail, all while adapting to planning delays, shifting markets, and rising construction costs. Ben shares his approach to keeping long-term momentum, how to build trust with councils and communities, and what it takes to navigate risk, pick the right builders, and bring patient capital into the fold. He also opens up about his advocacy work through Queers in Property, driving visibility and inclusion in the built environment.Takeaways✅ Keeping momentum on long-term, complex projects✅ Balancing risk, resilience and changing market conditions✅ Building stakeholder trust through clear communication✅ Why developers need adaptability and strong networks✅ The importance of inclusion in property and constructionChapters:06:38 – The Journey into Property Development09:21 – The Complexity of Large-Scale Developments12:03 – Creating a Vision for Urban Regeneration19:32 – Creating People-Friendly Spaces24:38 – Understanding Community Needs29:48 – Challenges in Construction Costs34:36 – Managing Diverse Asset Classes37:31 – User-Centric Design in Healthcare Projects41:58 – Current Status of New Epping Project49:09 – The Art of Development: Storytelling and Influence52:00 – Current Challenges in Melbourne's Property Development58:13 – Creating Inclusive Spaces: The Role of Queers in Property1:08:31 – Future Projects and Industry OutlookTune in for a real-world look at what it takes to deliver a future-ready precinct from the ground up.Hope you enjoy the podcast!#UrbanRegeneration #PropertyDevelopment #EppingProject #Riverlee #BuiltEnvironment #PrecinctPlanning #LongTermVision #ConstructionLeadership #InclusiveDesign #QueersInProperty #BuildingTalksPodcastThe Building Talks Podcast is brought to you by Building Environs Recruitment - providing recruitment solutions to the property, construction, and related industries, here in Melbourne and Southeast Queensland.  For an overview of our service, visit:www.buildingenvirons.com.auProud to partner with Housing All Australians (HAA).

On Grandparents' Day, at Gateway Susan Elsmore reminds that getting older is not about becoming irrelevant but about embracing the privilege of passing on wisdom, faith, and encouragement to those coming after us. In this message, we explore why honour matters, how authenticity builds trust, what it means to be a non-anxious presence in an anxious generation, why we should celebrate the next generation even in their learning, and how faithful prayer leaves a lasting spiritual legacy.

In a world obsessed with progress and novelty, we can easily overlook the wisdom of those who've gone before us. This message in the Honour series explores what it means to honour wisdom — the lived experience, faith, and insight carried by older generations. Drawing from Proverbs and Ephesians, it reminds us that wisdom is more than knowledge; it's a way of life learned through listening, humility, and walking well-worn paths together. When we honour those who have gone before, we don't just respect their years; we receive the gift of their wisdom, helping us walk the road of faith with greater understanding and grace.Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and also online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at ⁠https://gatewaybaptist.com.au

In a world that separates the physical from the spiritual, we're reminded that God created us as whole beings, with both body and soul vital to who we are. This message continues the Honour series by exploring how we are called to honour God with our bodies, drawing from Genesis and 1 Corinthians. It exposes how culture distorts both sex and the body, and invites us to rediscover God's design for holiness, freedom, and joy. To honour our bodies is to honour the God who dwells within them, allowing His Spirit to renew every part of who we are.Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and also online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at ⁠https://gatewaybaptist.com.au

Since the very beginning, we have been a community that has known the call to be a lighthouse in the city. In our words and in our actions, we have sought to be faithful to the command of Christ to shine a light. Having a place in the heart of the city to proclaim the truth of Jesus practically share the love of Christ through care and hospitality (e.g. care ministries and international ministries) has been central to our existence. And our deepest desire is that this will only continue to grow as we seek to meet the growing practical and spiritual needs of Brisbane. -----------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at ⁠⁠https://gatewaybaptist.com.au⁠⁠ or join us on Sundays at ⁠gtwy.au/live

In this episode, I'm joined by the always insightful and globally-minded Dr. Vas Srinivasan, who recently built one of the most stunning orthodontic spaces in Southeast Queensland—right when the world said “don't.” From battling banks post-COVID to doubling down on patient experience, Vas shares the inspiring story of why he took the leap, what he learned, and how he's now positioned to dominate his local market—even against corporate competitors.We talk about fear, growth, AI-powered offices, why silent front desks are the future, and how to turn brushing stations into monitoring hubs. We also get into real estate side hustles, building partnerships outside of dentistry, and the importance of having income streams that work while you sleep. This is a must-listen for any orthodontist who's wondering if now is the time to play biggerQUOTES“If someone says they weren't scared building a practice like this—they're lying. I had to re-mortgage my house. But this dream had to come together.”— Dr. Vas Srinivasan“Side hustles are great. But please—don't do a restaurant. Don't do a nightclub.

Kick starting our Honour series, Andrew Mayne explores what it means to value and affirm one another as members of the body of Christ. Looking at Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12, we see how God calls us not to compete but to compliment each other, to treat every person with dignity and worth, and to live as contributors rather than consumers in His church. True honour flows from humility - lifting others up, celebrating their wins, and sharing their burdens so that together we flourish and Jesus' name is lifted high.If you need prayer, we're here for you.

This message opens our Honour series by exploring how we are called to honour marriage. Our world has simultaneously devalued the covenant of marriage and idolised the idea of it. Drawing from Genesis this message challenges the assumptions that marriage will complete us or that it's an outdated institution. Instead, we see that marriage is God's creation. A covenant designed for friendship, shared calling, sex and family. It's not the ultimate goal of life, but a reflection of God's love and a means of shaping us into His likeness.Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and also online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at ⁠https://gatewaybaptist.com.au

God has called us as his people to invest our very lives into the heart of the city. In a context where others are transient and transactional, we have been called to live our lives, raise up the next generations, buy homes and find work in and around the city. Our presence matters deeply, because we bring the presence of God. In our workplaces. In our schools and universities. In the restaurants and shopping malls. On the streets. Our presence causes the city to prosper. Our commitment to be a permanent presence in the city matters deeply. As we make the commitment to live and share our lives in the city, we are proclaiming the life-giving good news of Jesus.-----------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at ⁠https://gatewaybaptist.com.au⁠ or join us on Sundays at ⁠gtwy.au/live

God's story has always been bigger than we can imagine, and at the centre of it all stands the Lamb. From before creation to the cross and into eternity, Jesus is not just a symbol of God's love, He is love. In this message from Derek Peters, we see how the Lamb of God weaves through the whole story of Scripture, showing us that God doesn't stay distant but joins us, redeems us, and invites us into His divine dance of love and unity.Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and also online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at ⁠https://gatewaybaptist.com.au

Writing to a church struggling under powerful forces, the last thing that you would imagine worthy of worship is a lamb! But that is exactly what is presented in John's vision. Again, utilizing this rich metaphor that is replete throughout Scripture, Johnpresents a lamb slain that makes a way for the scroll to be opened. What is this scroll? The book of life that records all names of those who are God's people. It is the death of the Lamb that makes a way for ‘persons from every tribe and language and people and nation'. This picture sets up a scene of absolute adoration, worship and praise. The death of Jesus has made a way. He is deserving of our worship.--------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at ⁠⁠https://gatewaybaptist.com.au⁠⁠ or join us on Sundays at ⁠gtwy.au/live

"Our goal was always to showcase every beer at every brewery as if it was our own."Joslyn Erickson works in a unique but essential part of the beer industry. She runs Hop On Brewery Tours alongside partner Matt Farrelly, which the pair launched nearly a decade ago in Queensland. Back then, Brisbane had only six craft breweries and the Gold Coast was home to just a handful of breweries and venues where you could find anything other than mainstream beer.It means Joslyn has enjoyed a front row seat to take in craft beer's growth in South East Queensland, observing how the culture and attitudes have changed, whether for better or worse. At the same time, she's performed a crucial role stewarding at some of the country's major beer awards.Will Ziebell and Craig Williams caught up with Joslyn to talk about the importance of embracing beer tourism, ways she believes breweries can find new customers, and her passion for beer education, which has seen her launch The Lauter Tun on Instagram.Ahead of the chat, James and Will discuss a new series from Rob Horner on the impact of global beer cultures on Australian brewers, Mick Wüst's second deep dive into life at Fermentis, the lessons learned by Your Mates over their first decade, a joyous collab event featuring Deaf artist Gonketa, and the benefits of joining our Crafty Cabal beer club.If you enjoy the show, please consider liking, subscribing, rating or reviewing!Start of segments: 13:30 – Joslyn Erickson Part 1 41:13 – Grainstock 2025 Preview 45:48 – Joslyn Erickson Part 2To find out more about featuring on The Crafty Pint Podcast or otherwise partnering with The Crafty Pint, contact craig@craftypint.com.

This message continues our Revelation series by focusing on the Bride, the church, the people of God, adored, adorned, and devoted to Christ. Through John's vision we see that the Bride is not perfect, but she is deeply loved by Jesus, clothed in His righteousness, and called to live in faithful preparation for the wedding feast of the Lamb. Revelation reminds us not to trade away our fine linen for the false promises of Babylon, but to live as a people ready, set apart, and anchored in our first love.

I'm back …. Already! Make sure you head back and listen to part 1 and 2 before this episode! This part was recorded on September 22, and is a check-in on where I'm really at in my monthly goal setting journey. After starting the month feeling expansive and aligned, I hit a point where I felt discouraged, uneasy, and honestly a little anxious. I even experienced the Sunday Scaries for the first time in years.I share openly about: ✨ The pressure I felt as the end of September approached ✨ How I slipped into controlling energy by obsessively checking analytics and my bank account ✨ The lies I started telling myself ~ that I wasn't capable, smart, or worthy enough ✨ What happens when we stop honouring ourselves and our goals ✨ Why divine timing and the universe's rhythm with time are so important to rememberThis is another tell-all episode ~ because I know how common it is to feel wobbly when you're working toward something big. My hope is that it reminds you you're not alone, and that the dips are part of the journey too. If you've ever felt the weight of your own expectations or the fear that you're not “enough,” this one's for you. Let it motivate you to keep going, trust divine timing, and continue honouring yourself on the way to your dreams. I'm SO excited to come back for a little ‘review' on this ‘behind the magic' series, which was a little accidental to be honest! Thank you so much for listening.

Behind The Magic - Part 2! Here is my manifestation retreat link!! If you haven't already, I highly recommend listening to Part One first ~ it will give you all the context and inspo to dive into this series with me.In Part Two, we're only four days into September… and wow, this month already feels expansive. I share with you some incredible little miracles that have popped up already (yes, this is a full tell-all), as well as a hilariously embarrassing situation that I found myself in. But the best part? The way I responded to it ~ which actually turned out to be such a gift and a reminder of how quickly things can shift when you're open to growth.This series is all about showing you the real behind-the-scenes of manifestation ~ the good, the messy, and the magic. I honestly can't believe how much has happened in such a short time… and we're only just getting started. Stay tuned for Part Three!Spoiler alert - Things aren't as positive in part 3, ha! But I'm taking you along the journey and as always, I am being as realistic as I can as I know this helps you within your manifestation practices.Cleo xxx Visit Pass Around the Smile here!Join my Facebook community group here!Find me on Instagram@passaroundthesmile@cleomasseyFind me on Tik Tok@cleomassey_The Pass Around the Smile podcast is recorded on Bundjalung Country, in South East Queensland, Australia.

This episode is a little FUN & different! I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own September challenge. I set myself three personal goals around career, money, and meditation, and created journal prompts to help me call these manifestations in within the month. Throughout the episode, I share openly the ups and downs I experienced, the changes I made when I realised I was stuck in negative ruts, and how quickly everything shifted when I decided to take aligned action. (P.s. I've ended up breaking this episode up into parts, as you'll see from the title! Part 2 will be coming soon and is me only a few days after this episode!)My hope is that this inspires you to create your own version of this challenge for October (or whatever month you're listening in). It's never too late to start fresh, reset your energy, and bring in the magic you've been craving. Isn't it refreshing and exciting to remember that WE HAVE A CHOICE?! EEEE!

What does it really mean to be the Bride of Christ? In this inspiring message, Brad Case explores the powerful imagery of the church as the bride in the book of Revelation. Starting with the question, “Who do you worship?”, Brad unpacks how the early church faced persecution and temptation, and how their story challenges us today.Brad uses personal stories, relatable analogies, and clear teaching to help us see ourselves as chosen and loved by Jesus. Whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message will encourage you to live with eternity in your heart and to worship Jesus above all else. ---- Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.

We find in the early chapters that John's Apocalypse is a letter that is written to seven churches in Asia Minor, but also a letter to be read aloud for all (and all are blessed in reading 1:3). Indeed, these are words of encouragement and challenge from Jesus himself. The call is for the Church, the Bride (19:7-8), to remain pure in the context of temptation and persecution, and to ultimately be victorious (5:5-6). The church in the Roman empire was under intense pressure. The emperors (e.g. Domitian, Nero) demanded absolute and singular worship. To not declare ‘Caesar as Lord' carried with it terrible physical, social and economic consequences. This was a question of ultimate allegiance: worship the Christian God or worship the Roman cult.---------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at ⁠https://gatewaybaptist.com.au⁠ or join us on Sundays at ⁠gtwy.au/live

Revelation has possibly become the most discussed and speculated on, if not the most controversial, of all books in the Bible. This is not that surprising, considering the incrediblyabstract literary images that are contained in this wonderful piece of writing. A four-week teaching series is not going to come close to answer all the questions that could be addressed, but what we can do is focus on the key characters and themes that we can find in this powerful book.  Firstly, it is helpful to understand that Revelation is a mix of literary styles. It is a prophetic text following in the tradition of Old Testament prophets, it is an apocalyptic work full of symbolic imagery,and it is a situational letter written to a group of people living within the historical and societal context of the Roman Empire.-------Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.For over 90 years, we've been committed to guiding people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.Learn more about us at ⁠https://gatewaybaptist.com.au⁠ or join us on Sundays at ⁠gtwy.au/live

Is the world spinning out of control, or is there something deeper going on?In this message, Tim Lucas opens a new series on the book of Revelation by exploring its central theme: worship. Rather than focusing on predictions or timelines, this teaching highlights the throne room of heaven in Revelation 4, where God is revealed as sovereign, eternal, and worthy of all worship.Tim explains the historical context of Revelation, the different ways it has been interpreted, and why it continues to speak powerfully to both ancient and modern audiences. He reminds us that despite the chaos we may see around us, God is still on the throne.This is not an end-times breakdown—it's a call to worship the One who was, who is, and who is to come.Revelation Is About Worship, Not Just End TimesGod Is on the ThroneHistorical Context MattersMultiple Interpretive LensesSpiritual Reality Beyond the PhysicalGod Is EternalWorship Is Central in HeavenContrast with Roman Emperor WorshipEveryone Will WorshipCall to Present-Day WorshipRevelation 4:8“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”---- Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.

What drives your desire to be great—recognition or purpose?In this message, Andrew Mayne explores the tension between personal ambition and spiritual calling. Using the story behind the Hardy Boys and the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon, Andrew draws a compelling parallel to the church: many individuals working under one name, not for personal fame, but for a greater purpose.Through personal stories and biblical reflection, this message challenges us to examine our motivations and invites us to live for the name above all names—Jesus.Key Scripture: Philippians 2:5–8"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus... he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant..."---- Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.

(eeee!)We dive into what it really means to align with your desires ~ emotionally, energetically and practically. I chat about how to raise your vibration so you're attracting people, opportunities and experiences that match your magic. And yep, we get into the juicy stuff like visualisation, acting as if, and shifting your emotional baseline so your nervous system knows it's safe to receive.We also explore what happens when energies don't align… you know when you're doing all the things but it's just not flowing?! Often this is when you need to surrender and trust, but of course when we want something, it can be so hard to let go ~ because it's natural to want to control it. But when you give up the need to control, life flows with you instead of against you.There's a bit of brain science too, (don't worry, I keep it light!) including how to quiet your logical side and tap into that beautiful, expansive right side of the brain where creativity and divine inspiration live.This one is for you if you're ready to loosen your grip, let go of the how, and co-create something even better than you imagined.The Universe cannot deliver to a closed door….

It's easy to blame outside forces when progress stalls, but sometimes the real slowdown happens inside our own heads. Constant second-guessing, perfectionism, and chasing too many ideas at once can quietly kill momentum. Business starts to feel like a loop—busy days with little real progress, and a creeping sense that something's off. Often, the problem isn't the plan or the tools—it's the noise we create for ourselves that keeps us from moving forward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2sXTBuGzJ4 Dennis Hall is an Australian entrepreneur, business growth champion, and author specializing in supporting micro businesses.
