Hello everyone, This is Mirko Guerrini, and I welcome you to the Jazz Transcription Clinic, a monthly interviews podcast where we talk with accomplished jazz doctors about their lives, careers and their personal transcription secrets. On this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast Mirko Guerrini interviews the guest jazz doctor: Stephen Magnusson Listen to Steve Magnusson's answers to the questions below: Why do you transcribe? 03:47 What do you expect to learn from a transcription? 17:41 How do you choose the solos to transcribe? 24:21 What is your transcribing methodology? 33:08 Do you use any software? 45:45 Which transcription of yours is your favourite? 01:09:05 Artists mentioned in this episode: Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, Dmitri Sostakovic, Charlie Parker, Charles Lloyd, Charlie Haden, John Scofield, Brad Mehldau, Sonny Rollins a.o.   Stephen Magnusson is considered one of Australia's most accomplished, versatile and distinct musicians with incredible technique and an astoundingly beautiful tone. His hectic schedule shows that he is a delight to work with and someone that has ‘something to say' in the world of improvised music. He was given his first ukulele at 3, his first guitar at 6 and began performing at 10 on an electric guitar that he loaned from his schoolteacher. At 13, he started to study under the guidance of Gordon Pendleton at the Box Hill Tafe and discovered the world of improvised music. In 1986, he studied at the esteemed Victorian College of the Arts under the supervision of some of Australia's finest musicians – Tony Gould, Bob Sedergreen and Mike Doyle. Here he expanded his practice regime and playing. He joined various bands playing numerous styles and developed an understanding of different methods. But, his main focus remained, to develop and hone the craft of mastering the guitar. He travelled to Europe and lived there and after being appointed on the staff at The Academy of Contemporary Music (Zurich) in 1997, Stephen met his long time collaborator – Sergio Beresovsky. They began to perform regularly with Swedish bassist – Bjorn Meyer and in the July of the same year, Australian saxophonist Julien Wilson travelled to meet and play with the trio. After the first week of playing, they formed SNAG and produced a self-titled album (released in Australia ‘Hey Guess What'). After 3 years of living in Zurich, Stephen returned to Melbourne in August 2000. He entered the National Jazz Award at Wangaratta Jazz and Blues Festival, where he tied for first place amongst much controversy. At this festival, he performed with his trio featuring Sergio and Eugene Ball. This recorded result is captured on the CD ‘Healing Songs'. He has worked with many artists including Charlie Haden, Meshell Ndegeocello, Ricki Lee Jones, Sinead O'Connor, John Cale, Gurrumul Yunupingu, Paul Grabowsky, Vince Jones, Katie Noonan, Lisa Young, Christine Sullivan, Michelle Nicole, Martin Breeze, The Assumptions Trio, Megan Washington, Paul Kelly, Jim Black, Mike Nock, Barney McAll, Enrico Rava, Arthur Blythe and many others. As a part of the Katie Noonan trio Elixir, the ensemble won the ARIA for Best Jazz Album in 2011. In 2013, Stephen was awarded the Melbourne Prize for Outstanding Musician, and the Australian Jazz Bell Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album with his quartet MAGNET (with Carl Pannuzzo, Eugene Ball and Sergio Beresovsky). Stephen is currently concentrating on writing for his duo Boundaries with Frank DiSario, and trio MAG featuring DiSario and Dave Beck. He will also be completing the second release from MAGNET, SOM.

Hello everyone, This is Mirko Guerrini, and I welcome you to the Jazz Transcription Clinic, a monthly interviews podcast where we talk with accomplished jazz doctors about their lives, careers and their personal transcription secrets. On this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast, Mirko Guerrini interviews the guest jazz doctor: Paul Grabowsky. Paul Grabowsky is a pianist, composer, arranger, conductor – and is one of Australia's most distinguished artists. Born in Papua New Guinea, Paul was raised in Melbourne. During the late 70's he became prominent in the music scene in Melbourne, working in various jazz, theatre and cabaret projects. He lived and worked in Europe and the US from 1980-85, during which time he performed with many jazz luminaries including Art Farmer and Johnny Griffin. He returned to Australia in 1986 and established a reputation as one of Australia's leading jazz musicians with such bands as his own trio and sextet, the Wizards of Oz and as musical director for singer Vince Jones. He was musical director of Tonight Live with Steve Vizard (a nationally televised variety show) from 1990-1992. He was Commissioning Editor (Arts and Entertainment) for ABC Television 1995-98. He has written the scores for over twenty feature films in Australia, the UK and US including ‘Innocence' (Paul Cox), ‘Last Orders', ‘The Eye of the Storm', ‘Words and Pictures'(Fred Schepisi) and ‘Shiner' (John Irvin). His television credits include the series ‘Phoenix' and ‘Janus' and the Emmy-winning ‘Empire Falls'. His works for the theatre include four operas and various multimedia works. His most recent opera, created for soprano Emma Matthews, ‘The Space Between', with libretto by Steve Vizard, premiered at Arts Centre Melbourne in September 2018. He is the Founding Artistic Director of the Australian Art Orchestra, which he led from 1994-2013. He has won seven ARIA awards (most recently in 2019 for his recording ‘Tryst' with singer Kate Ceberano)), two Helpmann awards, several APRA and Bell Awards and a Deadly award. He was the Sydney Myer Performing Artist of the Year in 2000, and received the Melbourne Prize for Music in 2007. He was the 2010 Australian National University H.C.Coombs Fellow. He was Artistic Director of the Queensland Music Festival from 2005-2007 and was Artistic Director of the Adelaide Festival of Arts for 2010 and 2012. He is currently a Professor at Monash University, and director of the Monash University Academy of Performing Arts and the Monash Art Ensemble. In 2014 he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for services to music and arts administration. In this episode, Paul explains his personal transcribing approach and shows how to profit from every transcription you make. He is also providing many examples of solos that have been significant to his musical growth. Among all the great things that Paul says, my favourites are: 'You won't ever sound like somebody else, because you are not that person', 'MIles can play one note and all of the sudden all the energy conveys there!' 'George Coleman is the Mozart of Hard Bop'. Artists mentioned in this episode: Gary Costello, Lennie Tristano, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Billie Holiday, Bud Powell, Fats Navarro, George Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett, Wayne Shorter. a.o.

John Schumann of Redgum fame joins us to reflect on the role of protest songs, especially in times like these, given that protest songs are often rooted in a particular time and place.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page   Running Sheet: John Schumann on protest songs in times like these00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:04:20 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week is 2015 Pikes The Merle Riesling, tasting with Andrew Pike. 00:11:20 John Schumann In 2017, John Schumann teamed up with Shane Howard to co-write a modern protest song, Times Like These. Apart from the sense of frustration in the lyrics about how previously hard won gains are disappearing by degrees, there's a haunting line in it that has spooked me, given that I'm now in my second decade as a marketer who teaches businesses how to use social media: From Dondale to Manus Island detention People are drowning in a sea of inattention This society is so fraught with and saturated by things of distraction, I wonder if protest songs are ever going to have potency ever again. So, I've asked John Schumann to reflect on this with me. John, I want to trawl back through some of your protest songs produced with Redgum, and get your reflections on other protest songs of note, but let's start with an experience I had this morning, when I went to YouTube to relisten to TImes Like These. They say that protest songs thrive within a social and temporal context (time and place), that's what gives them meaning and power, so how's this. Your song was not able to play until I'd been subjected to a cheery ad for Target, coaxing me to buy some glittering toys, and then a health insurance ad wooing me to switch to them with the offer of waiving waiting times for claiming extras. I think I got my daily allowance of irony. Could Bob Dylan's Blowing In The Wind get cut through in Times Like These? And when are Times Like These NOT times like these. For example, we hear of people protesting the invention of the printing press, saying books will wear out our brains, we hear of ancient Roman  writers lamenting "today's youth", and then we hear songs from back in the 70s like Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron with lyrics like: Seem like winter in America And ain't nobody fighting, Because nobody knows what to save Are all times as good or as bad as all other times, which begs the question, do we need protest songs at all - or do they give us something to occupy ourselves with, like throwing a bone to a dog? You and I both saw a show at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival recently, The Art Of Protest, starring Vince Jones. My feeling at the time as a Vince Jones fan, was that there was a dissonance between Jone's smooth and polished voice and exquisite jazz accompaniment, and the heart-rending nature of some of the protest songs he played. Are there some key ingredients for a protest song to work, eg, the style of voice and music, as much as the content? There was nuance in the name of Jones' show - the Art Of Protest. Art suggests that artists CHOOSE to do a protest song. Am I just naive to think that "real" protests songs are songs that emerge because there is NO OTHER CHOICE, vs making a decision to do something from the protest genre just like a pop genre? Should there be a price paid by singing or writing protest songs? Can you take us through the chemistry and the road map that led you and Redgum to write and produce some pretty bitter and frustrated songs? What did you ever hope to achieve with any of your songs that might be classed protest songs, such as I Was Only 19? And do you start with an agenda, or do you just have something to say and let the cards fall where they may? In a recent episode of Blind Insights with David Olney, they quoted a former PM of Australia saying: We will tolerate dissent, as long as it is ineffective. Does that wind you, to hear that? Does that make the protest enterprise futile? Most important protest songs? Advice to any young Redgums today? 01:03:56 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have a fitting song from John Schumann and the Vagabond Crew, featuring Shane Howard, called Times Like These.

Dave Goodman. Jazz critic John Clare has described Dave Goodman as ‘one of the leading drummers in the country' and ‘[one of] the most intriguing drummers recording anywhere'. At just eighteen, Dave received an invitation to join the renowned Mike Nock Quartet and, at twenty, came second in the prestigious National Jazz Awards. Today, he is, undoubtedly, one of Australia's most important jazz drummers.  This is evident in the long list of luminaries – both Australian and international – with whom Dave has worked: Joe Lovano, Paul Bollenback, Bernie McGann, James Morrison, Don Burrows, Vince Jones and Mark Isaacs, to name just a few. At present, he is a key member of several of Australia's finest ensembles, including Ten Part Invention, Kevin Hunt Trio, Steve Barry Quartet, and Matt Keegan Trio. ‘Dave's infectious love of music, his dedication to jazz drumming and his melodic approach to the drumset have been a source of inspiration to me for twenty years,' Matt says.     Combining technical mastery with profound musicality, Dave's drumming is celebrated for its powerful melodic sensibility and, most importantly, its distinctive voice. Chief influences include Jack DeJohnette, Vinnie Colaiuta and Andrew Gander. ‘Each of these guys come out of Tony Williams, Elvin Jones and Roy Haynes in their own way,' Dave explains. 'I love them fundamentally because they are uniquely creative and original in playing only the essence of what each piece of music requires. I aspire to this in my own work.'     Following in the footsteps of his predecessors, Dave is a genuine innovator: relentlessly imaginative and constantly evolving. His professional experience has been augmented with extensive study, both formal and informal. He holds a First Class Honours degree in Jazz Performance and a PhD in Jazz Drumset Performance Studies from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and has studied under several world-class musicians, including Billy Hart, Joe Morello, Jim Chapin and Chad Wackerman.     As a bandleader and composer in his own right, Dave counts numerous creative projects under his belt.

Hi there and welcome to another ep of Take One Backstage taking you behind the scenes of Sydney’s live music scene. Yes! It’s been quite a while I know since I’ve uploaded an episode. Now I won’t take you through what’s been happening between now and then but the good news is that I’ve now got two extra pairs of hands on deck and making not only this podcast but the radio edition of the pod, Take One, happen. They are the wonderful Max Wills who is the new Audio Producer of the show and Jayne Franco who is the new Social Media Producer. They’ve been intro’ed on the radio edition of the pod, but if you missed that, don’t fret, they will also be getting added to the pod too. Getting back to this week’s ep though, I’m very excited to share this most recent chat with Alice Terry. She’s launching her debut album ‘The Fear of Alice Terry’ on the 16th and 17th of June at Leadbelly in Newtown. Race over and grab your tix if you hear this in time as she’s already sold out the 16th. I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard, my face hurt so much from any interview thus far. There is also a drinking game attached to this interview which you’ll hear about later, and also an expletive warning. She is one of my all-time favourite Australian acts who will captivate your heart in seconds. Links to her music and shows are in the below. Just to give you a heads up, there will be a whole lot more archived sessions of Take One Backstage coming your way. These have never been released in full, interviews with the likes of Baldwins, Sagrada Familiar, Vince Jones and more. Don’t forget to hit the subscribe button on your chosen podcasting app to be kept up to date with new releases. Also if you love what you hear, head to iTunes and leave me a review!

Taking their entire nest egg meant for the purchase of their first home… James and Monica Meldrum started their own business instead – changing the Australian children’s snack industry for good. Tired of questioning the purpose and value of their respective corporate careers (beyond making money), James and Monica Meldrum searched for a business opportunity they could begin together. Both being the youngest siblings and surrounded by nieces and nephews; they saw a need to provide kids with healthy lunchbox snack options.  Monica dreamed of transitioning into the health and nutrition fields. They were determined to run a socially and environmentally responsible business of their own. And Whole Kids was born. Whole Kids was the first Australian brand to sell certified organic snacks for children, providing parents with healthier options, no artificial ingredients and real, honest good food for their kids. Since its’ inception in 2005, Whole Kids has become certified as B Corporation and are now in their second term of accreditation following a rigorous onsite audit last year. The Company’s purpose is to create healthy food options for healthy kids while sustaining a healthy world. Join James and I as we discuss: Why the couple felt that the corporate world has become so disconnected from their own business goals & values – other than just their bottom lines. The inspiration behind Whole Kids, and its’ business values. How engaging with their target market from the get go helped them gain the confidence to start. The importance of becoming Certified Organic and B Corporation. How they have maintained a strong partnership at work and at home. The key to forming a creative, dedicated and value driven culture. Aligning their business with suppliers and manufacturers that have the same social and environmental values. Why outsourcing their warehouse and logistics operations, allowed their business to grow. Taking on the top dogs and standing for what is right. Unjunkit: reconnecting kids with nature. Quotes to ponder and share Let’s make organic kid’s food. Make it as healthy as we can and build a business that is transparent, it’s value driven, and it has a purpose beyond making money. #wholekids @_JamesMeldrum   There is life beyond money.  @_JamesMeldrum #purpose #BCorp #family #wholekids   We all should be eating organic food – especially (for) kids and babies.   @_JamesMeldrum   Now we will not recruit for a role if we don’t find the right values and culture fit first. #wholekids @_JamesMeldrum   How can we make healthier, better products, which is what we’re all about, and make more impact in the community? #wholekids @_JamesMeldrum #Bcorp #organic   If you don’t understand something, if you don’t connect with something, then you won’t care about it. #unjunkit @_JamesMeldrum   There is not enough regulation, in our view, around when and how food should be marketed or even promoted at all to children, and in what circumstances and environments. #unjunkit @_JamesMeldrum  My three top learnings: Ensure you get your purpose and values right on the inside first. Embed them into all your internal policies and procedures in order to create a strong culture. Really focus on people. If the right people are on board, who share the same values, it will do amazing things for your business. Shout your business purpose and what you’re all about from the rooftops. Be confident and proud of your values and what you stand for.

The Melbourne international jazz festival, now in its 18th year is Melbourne’s premier jazz festival which takes over the city for 9 days in june showcasing local and international talent in different concert halls, bars and occasionally laneways! This year I was lucky enough to attend three completely different yet equally exiting events: Tomasz Stańko Band, Vince Jones and the astral orchestra, and Jose James. Polish born Tomasz Stanko has been a jazz trumpeter since the 60s, touring the world time and time again and working on film scores. His performance at the Coopers Malthouse was a true testament to his experimental yet highly skilled approach to jazz. Accompanied by Alexi Tuomarila on piano, Slawomir Kurkiewics on bass and Olavi Louhivuori on drums, the four absolutely filled the space of the theatre unlike any others! Performing a total of six songs, interspersed with extensive improvisation, the band created the classic dizzying jazz atmosphere and had the entire audience bopping their heads, slapping their knees and completely entranced. The band nor Stanko virtually ever stoped throughout the performance, expect for at the beginning to introduce themselves, and seemed to be as captivated by the music they were making as the audiences were listening to that music. Over all this performance was the true epitome of jazz – dizzying and disorientating, yet completely enthralling. In contrast, Vince Jones and the Astral Orchestra presented a much more rehearsed show as they paid tribute to the music of Van Morison. Vince Jones, who has been an Australian jazz vocalist legend for over 20 years joined forces with the seven piece Astral Orchestra, which was specially brought together for the event by musical director, Matt McMahon. Together they performed, and reimagined the songs of Van Morrison from his albums Moondance and Astral Weeks. This was a very interesting and creative evening as Jones and the Astral Band covered, and put a unique jazz spin on what is typically rock music. It was very enjoyable hearing Morrisons music in jazz form! Arguably the show did justice to both genres, and to both of the legendary artists. for those who are fans of both, or even either artists or genres and want to see rock in jazz form, or jazz with the influence or rock, then Vince Jones and the Astral Orchestra will be performing at the Recital Centre tonight as part of an extended run. Finally, in a one-off exclusive evening, José Jones presented the music of Billie Holiday. American born, Jones is a well-regarded jazz vocalist but has also had great success in r’n’b and even hip hop, and you could really see this influence coming through in his tribute. Together with a highly skilled band, Jones played homage to the jazz legend that he considered his ‘musical mother’ in the same year that would have been her centennial. Jones did a sensational job performing what were the songs most important to him and his career, but adding his own unique, r’n’b influenced spin on them. His smooth yet powerful voice managed to completely fill the packed Hammer Hall, as he gave offered what was, for a lack of a better word, a sexy rendition of songs such as Yesterday I Had, and God Bless, interspersed with personal anecdotes about how Holiday influenced his career and the careers of his peers. Jones love and admiration of the great Lady Day was extremely evident not only in the way he sang her songs, but also in how he told her stories and the picture he painted of the blues legend. The show culminated in an encore which featured the most enthralling and unique rendition of Strange Fruit, arguably one of Holidays most famous songs, which Jones performed solo with the use of a loop pedal! Not only did this do true justice to an extremely controversial and sacred track, it was a stroke of genius and left the audience in awe. The Melbourne International Jazz Festival ends for another year tonight! IF you still have a chance then do your self a favour and get down to experience some local or international experimental talent.

Twenty-five years ago, two mates took a bunch of friends and an ex-council truck from Australia and travelled throughout Africa. This was the germination of Intrepid Travel, a responsible travel business that now has six specialist tour operators and 17 destination-management companies employing more than 1500 staff in 25 offices around the world. Each year, they take over 250,000 travellers to more than 100 countries on all seven continents. My guest today is Geoff Manchester, one of the two mates who co-founded Intrepid Travel with the aim of creating experiences that benefit all stakeholders: travellers, staff, communities and the environment. The conversation starts with Geoff explaining why Conscious Capitalism and becoming a certified B Corp is important to him and Intrepid Travel. From there, we go on to discuss: How Intrepid Travel got started and what pivoted them towards responsible travelling The four pillars of conscious capitalism: Purpose beyond profit Stakeholder orientation Conscious Leadership: Leading from behind Culture: “Culture eats strategy for breakfast” Managing people from different countries with different cultures within the Conscious Capitalism framework Recruiting for culture versus recruiting for skill Choosing which social projects to support Partnerships The three main hurdles Intrepid Travel has faced Geoff’s tips for people wanting to start their business as a responsible entity Quotes “The four pillars of conscious capitalism really reflect our business.” @GeoffManchester “Companies will need to become B Corporations because B Corp certification will assist the consumer to decide who they want to spend their money with.” – @GeoffManchester “Conscious leadership is much more about leading from behind.” – @GeoffManchester “Give people the understanding that they can think for themselves.” @GeoffManchester “Be focused on getting culturally correct people because you can teach them the skills you need.” @GeoffManchester “Keeping up with the technology involves a huge investment all the time, and it never seems to stop.” @GeoffManchester “It’s not a matter of going to new countries but a matter of doing new styles of travel.” @GeoffManchester Episode Resources Intrepid Travel Twitter @GeoffManchester Twitter @Intrepid_Travel Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest Intrepid Foundation Conscious Capitalism B Corporation free assessment tool Firms of Endearment by Raj Sisodia Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family by Bob Chapman & Raj Sisodia The B Corp Handbook: How to Use Business as a Force for Good by Ryan Honeyman Seven Women The skincare social enterprise mentioned – Metta Natural Skincare.

Think long term – and don’t compromise for the short-term gain. When taking on partnerships, pay attention to the culture and make sure your values are aligned. And finally I really love the research, outlined in book Firms of Endearment, that found conscious businesses significantly outlast and outperform those that don’t adopt these philosophies.  my email contact hello[at]thetoxicfox.com  Gratitude – I am very grateful to… Music: Sung by Vince Jones   Old Mother Earth Knows  Modern Folk  link  Written by Horace Silver support team: Tim Hallowell

Today’s guest Nick Savaidis is the Founder of Etiko (clothing), and Jinta Sport, (sports equipment), ethical brands committed to fair trade, traceability, and sustainability. Since establishing these businesses in 2005, Nick has been awarded numerous sustainable and ethical awards. Released on the eve of the third anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh, the 2016 Australian Fashion report – The Truth Behind the Barcode reviews the practices of many iconic brands in sold in Australia. This is the third report and once again Etiko has been awarded the A+ rating. Nick’s awareness of social justice began at a young age. Growing up, he witnessed inequality in his home and in his community where his mother, and other women in the neighbourhood, were poorly compensated for the garments they sewed for high-end brands. After working as a high school teacher, and in a remote aboriginal community, Nick decided to draw on the experience he gained in each of these jobs and combine it with his passion for social justice to develop a for-profit social enterprise/business that creates a positive social impact. Join our chat as we discover and discuss: How Nick's interest in fair trade inspired by his family's struggles when he was young Yurrampi Crafts: sourcing local t-shirt designs of aboriginal art From distributing the No Sweat brand to developing his own brand The use of organic cotton and sustainable rubber, and becoming the first non-food company in Australia to be Certified Fair Trade by FLO The Australian Fashion Report created in response to the Rana Plaza tragedy in Bangladesh The benefits of GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and Fair Trade US accreditations Minimum wage vs. living wage The steps they are taking to become investment-ready Market demographics and strategies for reaching their market The power of social media in building their brand The challenge of encouraging people to apply their values to their purchasing decisions Profit sharing and giving back to communities The importance of setting up a board of advisors or mentors The impact of working with a team to help grow your business Quotes  "Business doesn't always have to be a bad thing. It actually can be a positive thing." @etikofairtrade #NickSavaidis "Some accreditations allude to being ethical but when you scratch the surface, they're guaranteeing the absolute minimum." @etikofairtrade #NickSavaidis "You can't sell a t-shirt for $5 or $10 without exploiting someone in the supply chain." @etikofairtrade #NickSavaidis "We have proven you can create an ethical supply chain in fashion." @etikofairtrade #NickSavaidis "The reality is that if you're a sustainable business, you're not going to have much an impact on anyone's life. I needed to become a generative business, one that generates social impact and profit. Without generating profit, we can't generate social impact." @etikofairtrade #NickSavaidis Episode Resources: Twitter @etikofairtrade Etiko Jinta Sport NAB Impact Investment fund 2016 Australian Fashion report – The Truth Behind the Barcode Nick's top tips : Get yourself a team. Work with others, their strengths and partnerships. Not having resources will hold you back.

Today’s guest is Martin Gleeson, a co-founder of The Electron Workshop and Serversaurus, two companies that sit under the umbrella of Arktisma, which is one of the founding members of the B Corp movement in Australia. Serversaurus, which promotes an equitable workplace, was the first 100 percent carbon-neutral Australian web-hosting company, partnering with Greenfleet Australia in 2007 to offset their carbon emissions. They’re also part of the One Percent for the Planet movement, donating one percent of their sales to environmental causes. We recently changed hosting to Serversaurus primarily because they’re a B Corp, and we’re working towards achieving B Corp accreditation. Join our chat as we discover and discuss: Martin's awareness of a fair workplace at the age of 12 and why he gives a damn Principles of a fair workplace: respect, autonomy, equality Treating people the way you expect to be treated The psychology and effects of men asking for higher wages than women Pushing equality between men and women in the workforce The advantages of working four days a week Creating a more equitable workforce and other issues they need to face About the B Corp movement and why they chose B Corp How to become a B Corp: Learn the process of becoming one! Getting help from The Intern Group Resources small businesses can tap into (business templates and handbooks) Martin's advice for success in business partnership Processes and channels they've used for effective communication Various challenges they've faced and solutions they've applied Organisational tools they use (Apple Calendar, Highrise CRM) The demographics of clients they serve What makes Serversaurus different from other web hosts The company's green initiatives How they're supporting their employees to engage in environmental causes Quotes: Money is the oxygen of business. Treat people the way you expect to be treated and that should be the default position. If you're negotiating something, the first person to get their deal on the table is the one who is going to do best out of it. You say you're B Corp then they know what you're about. It's a shorthand way for sharing your values. The key to any effective relationship is communication. Don't be afraid. Be prepared to be yourself and to put your values and your ethics way upfront. We worry more about the opinions of people that we don't respect than those that we do. Episode Resources: Connect with Serversaurus on Twitter or Facebook The four-part blog post on Arktisma's and Serversaurus' B Corp accreditation journey Business Victoria Templates Three tips and insights: Do the things you know have to be done to keep the business going. Do these first and don't avoid them just because you're not good at them or you don't like them. (i.e. admin and sales) Communication is very important. Set up daily, weekly, monthly, and annual catch-ups that not only reflect on the what’s happened in the past but also focus on strategies and tactics for the future. Don't be afraid to put your values and ethics way out in front and keep them. Gratitude - I am very grateful to...

Quotes to ponder & share: “I love the transformation journey and this is something I’ve always been a bit nerdy about.” Alexx Stuart #TFS “Why are we feeding our kids out of plastic pouches? None of it makes sense. “Alexx Stuart #TFS “Once you have a tribe, a bunch of people who really get what you’re about, trust you, and understand that you want the best for everybody in that tribe, then you can create products for them and it’s effortless.” Alexx Stuart  #TFS “You’ll run out of juice pretty fast if the way you’ve said you’re going to help people is not directly in line with your values and the fire in your belly.” Alexx Stuart #TFS “If you’re always helping people then you will have success because if you help successfully, that is success.”  Alexx Stuart #TFS “Don’t be afraid of the fact that your business is not going to be helping everybody.” Alexx Stuart #TFS It’s not about work life balance: “If you get it right, work is an integral part of your whole life.” Alexx Stuart #TFS  “Having finance and business behind you just allows you to make the actioning of those ideas a lot more powerful. ” Alexx Stuart #TFS  “Taking the time to prove you don’t want anything out of this other than to help people, gives you just such a great authentic boost. ” Alexx Stuart #TFS “The most powerful thing you can do in business is be obsessed with how you can directly help people.”  Alexx Stuart #TFS Episode Resources: Alexx’ book: Real Treats Martin Zucker’s book, Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever?

If you’re a profit-with-purpose business, you’re on the right track. Understand your figures and numbers and always be on top of them.  When you think of your tribe or you receive trollish comments, remember to reference Seth Godin. “People like us, do things like us.” Don’t be afraid to really focus on your niche.
