Podcasts about top voices

Longevity – Buzzword oder wirklich möglich? PD Dr. Stephan ist top ausgebildet in dem, was guttut (promoviert in Medizin) und dem was schadet (habilitiert in Toxikologie) – und mit seinem riesigen Wissen durch viel berufliche wie private Expertise perfekt, um diese Frage zu beantworten. Im aktuellen Schnack und Snack im Podcast gibt Stephan viele Antworten auf die Fragen, wie das lange, gute Leben gelingen kann, warum er bei Longevity zwischen Gesundheits- und Lebensspanne unterscheidet und warum die Hallmarks of Aging, also die Kennzeichen des Alterns, in den Mitochondrien zu finden sind. Als Vorgeschmack auf sein Buch (unten mehr) beschreibt Stephan schon jetzt, warum für ihn der echte Longevity-Wirkstoff mit seinen diversen Effekten auf biologische Zielgrößen „Lebensstil“ heißt und wie seine Oma ihm schon als Junge Wegweisendes mitgeteilt hat. „Gesundheit ist kein Zufall!“ postuliert Stephan daher voller Überzeugung. Und so liegt die Frage nahe, ob er sich so – wenn Gesundheit eben kein Zufall ist – auch den Boom der Nahrungsergänzungsmittel erklären kann? Ist es vielleicht einfach der große Wunsch nach Kontrolle, wenn's um die eigene Gesundheit geht? Als öffentlich bestellten und vereidigten Sachverständigen für die Risikobewertung von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln hat Heike einen exzellenten Gesprächspartner zu Gast, der Klarheit in den wilden Westen im Web bringt. Es werden jede Menge Kapseln, Pillen oder auch Dienstleistungen und Reisen angeboten, die in Frage gestellt werden dürfen. Insbesondere, wenn Meinungen über evidenzbasierte Aussagen dominieren. Spannend wird's, wenn Stephan die Unterschiede zwischen Lebensmitteln, Nahrungsergänzungsmittel und Arzneimitteln aufzeigt und warum die lange On-Hold-List der EU ein echtes Problem ist. Stephan, Experte „from soil to cell“, gibt klare Life-Hacks für den Kauf von Produkten (Spoiler: It's easy!), die du direkt anwenden kannst. Viel Freude beim Reinhören! Und wenn du noch mehr Tipps für deine bestmögliche Longevity haben möchtest, wirf mal einen Blick in Stephans aktuelles Buch „Die heimlichen Heldinnen des Stoffwechsels. Superpower Mitochondrien“ (Styria-Verlag, Veröffentlichung am 01.06.2026).

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Looking after each other means moving past the number of people we know of to fostering deep, genuine connections with our more immediate circle - it's about "quality over quantity". Going 'beyond you' requires a mental edge that refuses to let excuses take hold in your mind. Growing beyond your current self and circumstances takes a focussed mindset and acceptiong the daily discipline that will be required to achieve what you want without resenting the lifestyle you need to adopt to achieve it. Lasting legacy is built by rejecting the status quo and defining success on your own terms, each and every day.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Rohan is in his final year of high school and the 2026 School Captain at Box Hill High School in Melbourne, Australia, as well as a competitive long-distance runner and running coach. He is passionate about using running as a platform to create a positive impact, most notably completing a 100km run on his 18th birthday to raise over $18,000 for youth mental health in support of the charity headspace Box Hill. Alongside his own training, he coaches athletes of all ages, helping them build resilience and confidence through their own running. His leadership has been recognised through the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award (2026) and the ADF Long Tan Award for leadership and teamwork (2024).     CONNECT WITH ROHAN MARTIN RITCHIE:   Email - rohanmartinritchie1@gmail.com Instagram - @rohanbeyondtherun Linktree - http://linktr.ee/RohanMartinRitchie     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The key to creating impact beyond you is to make your story referrable - letting it go and putting it into the hands of others. Making space for others to be part of creating, shaping and sharing the story that you feel so connected to is essential, but often the most challenging. If you're not articulating your story simply and clearly, others are never going to be able to share it with others. Repetition - consistently, frequently and over time - is what it takes to build both your storytelling muscle as well as a set of impactful 'back-pocket' stories that are resonant, relevant and referrable time and time again.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Talk is fundamental to human interaction, talk is inherently purposeful. There are ways of talking, and we all have them - some voices come harder to some people than others but there's no reason why we can't do them all. When meetings are viewed as chapters within a broader issue, it assists in dissecting the problem and engaging all participants in sharing their viewpoints.  "To act wisely actually is to take responsibility for our own actions and their impacts on others" -  Alan Robertson     RESOURCES MENTIONED: On the Front Line: The Collected Journalism of Marie Colvin https://www.amazon.co.uk/Front-Line-Collected-Journalism-2012-04-26/dp/B01K3IQ44E   An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anthropologist-Mars-Oliver-Sacks/dp/0330343475         ABOUT OUR GUEST: Alan Robertson has committed his working life to facilitating personal, interpersonal and organisational development.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Our brain acts as a filter that shapes our experience.  Behavior - our interactions and actions - shapes our sense of belonging and embeds our beliefs. It is not just about what we are listening for in other people; it's about where we are listening from ie. Our own perspective, experiences and beliefs. The shift in moving beyond our own intentions to imagine something bigger than ourselves begins in understanding what it is about how we show up that galvanizes others into particular ways of being and action.   ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: "The world has a problem and we need to start sharing…owning the problem is what's behind the creation of The Alchemie Network and The Alchemie Foundation." Alex Jennings Understanding others' strengths and matching that with areas where we are not strong is important in moving away from what's best for me to what's best for us - and that includes our teams, partners, customers and our organisation. When it comes to building high performing teams, a 'no hire' is better than a 'bad hire'.  Recognising diversity in culture, gender, and social background within your team will lead to business success, only if you remain creative in how you get your team to work.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Brilliant Orange: The neurotic genius of Dutch football by David Winner; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brilliant-Orange-Neurotic-Genius-Football/dp/0747553106   Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking  by Susan Cain; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quiet-Power-Introverts-World-Talking/dp/0307352153       ABOUT OUR GUEST: Alex is a visionary leader with extensive experience in global procurement, supply chain, and sales.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Television is about credibility, building expertise, building authority, and yes, it comes but it takes consistency. We have to have an athlete's mindset, we have to be open to coaching and really growth oriented and understand that we don't know everything. Speed of implementation, creative problem solving, and quick decision making are the distinguishing factors between extremely successful entrepreneurs and the ones who don't quite cut it.  The cure to overwhelm is to tackle one thing at a time. Set your priorities, break them into bite sized chunks and take action today.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Jen Gaudet - serial entrepreneur, investor, TV show host, international speaker and international best-selling author - is on a personal mission to impact 1 million entrepreneurs to reclaim time and energy while maximizing their impact (profit) by becoming the CEO of their businesses and their lives.     On her TV show, Jen brings insightful discussions about the truth behind the business through high impact guests, sharing the valuable lessons learned, shortening the path to success for other small business owners to maximize the positive impact in our world.   For coaching, mentoring, TV interview or more information, contact Jen at https://jengaudetcoaching.com CONNECT WITH JEN GAUDET:   Jen Gaudet website – https://jengaudetcoaching.com   FREE live business coaching workshop: https://jengaudetcoaching.com/free-workshop/   CEO Mondays Mastermind Live registration: https://p.bttr.to/3x3R0hM   CEO Mondays Mastermind On Demand: https://p.bttr.to/3uKJ04k   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jengaudetcoaching   Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-gaudet-324a25138   Youtube: http://bit.ly/JGCSyoutube   Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/power-ceos-with-jen-gaudet/id1589974680   TVshow: https://nowmedia.tv/ceomondays/   Over My Dead Body: the Art of Saying No – A step by step journey towards boundaries that stick Paperback Book: https://www.amazon.com/Over-My-Dead-Body-Boundaries/dp/1689832444/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.     KEY TAKEAWAYS:   Leadership is about listening to others, creating safe spaces to have conversations and connecting together to agree on a shared vision and make a bigger impact. When you are in the service of others, and helping them to grow and be at their best, you need to make sure that you are also being your best. Listen for understanding, appreciate what works and acknowledge what you're seeing and experiencing every day. More and more, we need to invest in active learning strategies and this requires humility - the willingness to listen and to do more than  learn about each other but to learn from each other as well.       RESOURCES MENTIONED:    Time to Think by Nancy Kline; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Time-Think-Listening-Ignite-Human/dp/0706377451 BBY Show S8 Ep13: Unlocking collective agency https://apple.co/3V0Bb8T       ABOUT OUR GUEST: Natacha Wilson's mission is to help leaders shape positive futures.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   If you don't understand why there's a gap between where you are and your vision, you'll never persist with what's required to get you to your aspiration, nor will you be able to articulate why it's important to bridge this gap to others.   As we build our movement and our brand, we resonate with and invite others to follow us and become part of our movement from wherever they happen to be.   It's easy to get swept away with the vision and purpose of our movement and forget that we actually need to onboard others as they come along, whether their colleagues, compatriots, followers, other influencers.    Take those moments to look ahead, keep connected with your vision, and then evaluate the right shortcut to keep moving forward and the right milestones to keep on track.

The episode opens with a sweeping look at the biggest retail stories shaping January. Amazon dominates the headlines again, this time with the closure of all Amazon Fresh grocery and Go stores and a renewed reliance on Whole Foods and online grocery. At the same time, Amazon is laying off tens of thousands of employees, part of a broader wave of cuts across retail and adjacent industries, including UPS, Home Depot, and Nike. The hosts explore whether this is a post-pandemic correction, an AI-driven efficiency shift, or an early signal of bigger structural change.The news turns to Saks Global's bankruptcy, in which most Saks off-price stores will be shut down. This is expected to benefit rivals like Nordstrom Rack and Bloomingdale's Outlet.

Together, they explore how consumer behavior is changing, why value is now deeply contextual, and how trust has become the most fragile currency in retail. They discuss pricing strategy in an era of tariffs, geopolitical risk, and algorithmic pricing, warning that transparency and clarity matter more than ever.The group dives into AI reality—what's working, what's hype, and why AI should be treated as a power tool, not a decision-maker. They examine leadership in the post-COVID era, arguing that execution, speed, and disciplined focus now define winning organizations.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The power of your personal brand lies not in your own perception of what it is, but in how consistently and authentically others experience you. It exists in the world around you.   Trust takes time to build and telling your stories consistently, frequently and over time, not only gives us personal gravitas and authenticity, it allows others to remember what we stand for, where we fit in their world, and what we can be counted on for. In other words, it starts with you.   The seven lenses explored—Healthy Mindset, Healthy Body, Healthy Brand, Healthy Business, Healthy Workplace, Healthy Systems, and Healthy Planet—are reaffirmed as interconnected ecosystems that create profound, often unforeseen impacts.   Expanding your influence from building brand you to building beyond you - into a "constellation of thinking and learning" - allows you to contribute much more meaningfully to the greater good.   Directing your privilege to forge new spaces for inclusion and collective leadership holds you responsible for pushing against conventional methods and helping those with less advantage.     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner. She is also the creator of Building Brand You™ - a methodology helping organisations, teams, and individuals to build reputation, presence, and gravitas.

In 2020, just one year after launching her business, she was nominated by Thinkers360 as one of the Top 100 Women B2B Leadership influencers and is currently in the Top 15 Personal Branding and Top 10 Marketing Influencers in the world.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Life is like a buffet, you pay the price, you come in and you enjoy it. A customer is a transaction and a client is a relationship. There are three things a business should have - an artist, a dealmaker, and a manager. In order to become a business owner, you need to have systems, leverage, and have the company running without you.     RESOURCES MENTIONED: Never Eat Alone by Tahl Raz Keith Ferrazzi - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0385346654/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_9WMQPV0JSTYABY236PV1_0   Rebel Ideas: The Power of Diverse Thinking by Matthew Syed - https://www.amazon.com/Rebel-Ideas-Power-Diverse-Thinking/dp/1473613949     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Johann has spent his entire career solving problems and fixing businesses. He discovered the power of systemization and leverage in his early 20's, where he built his first ecommerce business. This knowledge allowed him to grow not only his business but his clients as well. One of his latest businesses has reached a valuation of 8 figures in 2.5 years. Johann has significantly increased the bottom lines of over 1,000 clients in more than 40 industries worldwide. He does this with a focus on technology and utilizing the systems he has built over the last two decades. Johann has an uncanny ability to increase business profit, wealth, and success. He uncovers hidden advantages, overlooked opportunities and undervalued possibilities. This skill set has captured the attention and respect of CEO's, best-selling authors, entrepreneurs, and marketing experts. Johann's clients range from top tier banks to private business owners. But they all have one thing in common – all of them have profited significantly from Johann's expertise.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Putting yourself out there will not just build a network, but also demonstrate your ability and credibility to deliver a result. People buy on emotion and justify on reason. People are not 100 percent driven about the almighty dollar and getting paid the big dollar. They want a level of flexibility, they want a level of work-life balance. It's not what you know, it's not who you know, it's who knows you. “You get knocked down, you get back up, and you've got to keep doing that until people say yes because the yes will come because of the tenacity and the endeavor, and all those sorts of things and your ability to demonstrate success that you actually can get the results on the board” - Jason Burgess. Be prepared to tell your story. It doesn't happen by osmosis, you have to actually tell your story. If you can't articulate those wins and who you are, and what you stand for, there's no trust, there's no building a foundation between you that could develop either into job offer or a client or whatever that is.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: After growing up in a small country, Kilmore about an hour north of Melbourne and attending Assumption College teaching him strong people values, and work ethics Jason went on to successfully complete a Bachelor of Business in Commerce and Finance at Monash University. Jason's career initially commenced in Finance with a major TV network, Network 10 before realising and making a change to a passion of his towards a people-oriented career in Recruitment. For over 25 years, Jason has worked within the Recruitment industry in large corporate environments in end-to-end consulting positions as well as Senior leadership positions managing highly successful teams. It wasn't until having a family and realising the need for work life balance he established his own recruitment business in Max Executive which focuses on mid to senior level Sales and Marketing positions both nationally and internationally across FMCG, Consumer Goods, Hospitality and Retail Franchising as well as Sport and Leisure sectors. Jason has a basic philosophy when it comes to his business is ‘treat others as you want to be treated yourself' and has established a knowledge base and network that is highly regarded and the envy of many in a marketplace that is highly competitive and ever evolving. His and Max Executive's business motto is about Maximising Possibilities.   CONNECT WITH JASON BURGESS: Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-burgess-5649774/ Website - www.maxexecutive.com.au Twitter - https://twitter.com/ MaxExecutive Email - jasonb@maxexecutive.com .au     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The foundations for creating executive presence lie in being present - giving genuine attention to what's in front of you. Being present - free from urgency, distractions and personal agendas - and listening with a genuinely open mind, is both at the heart of building an authentic personal brand, and an expression of your impact and effectiveness as a leader. Being a leader is not about having all the answers but about creating space for curiosity and learning for you and for others around you. To lead well, be aware of your own personal narratives, and then consciously choose how you want to show up for yourself and for others.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Research shows that authenticity attracts opportunities so owning your personal brand means you are ‘designing for' more personally fulfilling work, partnerships and collaborations.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Discovering places and practices that align with your innate spiritual or emotional connection to the natural world can be a source of solace, inspiration, belonging and divine connection. Healing from trauma is a slow, non-linear journey that requires immense patience and resilience, celebrating every small win and recognising that setbacks are a normal part of progress. Tough experiences help us shed what's not essential, encouraging us to go off old ambitions, material things, and the need for approval to find the joy in a simpler, more authentic life. Cultivating deep introspection and actively listening to your soul or inner voice will steer you toward your true path.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Nathalie Latham is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is fuelled by a deep commitment to storytelling, creative expression, and environmental advocacy. A polyglot and accomplished photographer, she gained international recognition with her critically acclaimed solo exhibition Love It & Leave It: Australia's Creative Diaspora at the Australian National Portrait Gallery in 2007. Her work has been featured in prominent international publications, including Le Monde 2 (France), Domus (Italy), Frankfurter Rundschau (Germany), and the Australian Financial Review. Nathalie is also Director of Programs at Green Sakthi, a reforestation project which has so far planted 2 million trees in South India,  supports women's empowerment and has educated 6000 local school children to date.     CONNECT WITH NATHALIE LATHAM: Website - https://www.nathalielatham.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nathalielatham/ Substack - https://substack.com/@nathalielatham I AM ALIVE Facebook Group - www.facebook.com/groups/1181042616736476/ Green Sakthi Reforestation Program - https://www.greensakthi.org     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Letting go of control, certainty, perfectionism, and the need for power opens the door to less stress, more effective solutions and a greater sense of community and collective purpose. Focus on controlling what you genuinely can - your own behavior and thinking - especially during challenging times and when the future feels uncertain. Nourishing yourself - taking care of your physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, social, and financial well-being - directly influences the sustained health and success of your career, your work and/or your business.     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Shoshin is the Japanese word for the paradox of the more we know, the less we are likely to be open to learning. Letting go of the need for specific outcomes and embracing a beginner's mind creates the conditions for personal and professional development. Being entrepreneurial often means letting go of certainty and trusting your inner voice, persisting especially when circumstances are challenging. Viewing the unknown as a blank canvas fosters huge potential for creation, exploration and opportunity.     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Cultivate resilience by raising your hand and pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone. Leadership is about learning to delegate and trust others so that we create empowerment and collaboration rather than keeping control.

As you navigate different careers and experiences, understanding that your perceived expertise will shift helps you to evolve your personal brand and remain authentically you.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Susan Knight is a global traveler, former financial advisor, board diversity leader, and transformational guide.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Personal branding is a powerful tool to help you reposition both yourself and other's perceptions of you in your leadership. Positioning yourself as an impactful leader means prioritising based on a clear understanding of your personal brand - who you are, what's important to you, and how you will show up to yourself and those around you. Establishing and maintaining clear boundaries around your time and availability for others will allow you to create space for strategic thinking and empower your team. Developing gravitas and presence is essential - authenticity in this context is about intentionally framing and owning your own narrative about who you are.     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS We are an ever-changing ecosystem - our personal and professional identities are continuously evolving, requiring us to actively create what's next for ourselves. Every interaction and external stimulus—be it visual, auditory, or kinesthetic—leaves an undeniable trace on us, shaping who we are every second of every day. Growth isn't always forward or upward; it can be sideways, or even a step backward that creates the necessary space for new possibilities to emerge. Regularly assessing your evolving strengths and passions helps you to identify both your current "superpowers" and the areas where you seek to develop new knowledge or skills.     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Try setting waypoints instead of rigid goals - trying something, reflecting on the lessons and what you enjoyed, then determining your next step -  to foster continuous learning and celebrate your progress.

Social media has transformed companies into "glass box brands" demanding transparency, responsiveness, customer focus, and authentic storytelling, a lesson we can also apply to our own personal brand.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Belinda Gannaway is a coach, facilitator and strategist, creating thriving workplace cultures through intentional design and activation. Working with curiosity, empathy, and experimentation, Belinda helps leaders unlock cultural insights and drive meaningful change.   Belinda has 20 years' experience leading culture programmes aligning innovation with purpose and values.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The consequences of your choices go well beyond you. Being aware of the wider systems creates opportunities for us to be responsible for the consequences of both our direct and indirect influence and behaviour.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Authenticity can be described as a combination of the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves  and others, which shape our identity and actions. The journey to authenticity begins with noticing the stories we tell ourselves and questioning their truth to better understand who we truly are. While authenticity is often described as being true to oneself, there are a range of pitfalls that may result from our behaving authentically. Take action by making a note of the stories you tell yourself, then questioning whether they are truly reflective of who you are - these stories are at the heart of how you show up as a leader so to shift your leadership and what you are known for, you may need to rethink the stories!     ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.
