🌴149. Screaming chickens

This one’s personal—and iconic. In today’s episode, I share the wild, weird, wonderful story of how my husband’s dream car—a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am—finally made its way into our lives. But it’s not just a story about the car. It’s about the look. More specifically, the Screaming Chicken decal that…

🌴148. My $500 status run

Hey from the Brisbane Airport car park! Today’s episode is a little... rogue. I flew to Newcastle and back this morning — not for a keynote, not for a holiday, but for something frequent flyers call a status run. If you’ve never heard of it, I walk you through exactly…

🌴147. Mash-ups

Today’s episode is inspired by a night out under the stars at Brisbane’s Riverstage, where I saw Train live (highly recommend, by the way!). It got me thinking — not just about great music, but about mashups. Remixes. Genre-bending. And how we can apply that same creativity to our work.…

🌴146. The rise of vibe marketing and the fall of LinkedIn?

Happy Monday! Today I’m riffing on a recent episode of Greg Isenberg’s Startup Ideas podcast that had my brain buzzing. I love how freely Greg and his guests share what they’re experimenting with—this time, it was all about using AI agents to automate “vibe marketing.” Basically, it’s like this: You…

🌴142. Two screens, pls

Hey friends — coming at you from Sydney, where I’ve spent way too much time indoors today. Seriously, it was 4:30 PM before I even saw daylight. Not ideal. My Oura Ring told me my readiness score was 52 — yikes — but I rallied, stretched, ran a webinar for…

🌴141. 4 drivers of future-proof work

This episode is a bit of a pulse check. With all the disruption flying at us—AI, tech, changing markets—I’m keeping my head up, scanning the horizon, and thinking about what actually matters as we look ahead (but not too far ahead). Forget five-year plans. I’m talking 12-month windows. That’s as…

In today’s episode, I’m recapping my experience speaking at the Queensland Association of Collaborative Practice’s annual conference. It was an absolute honour to be the only non-lawyer on stage.

This weekend rewind is a special one. I'm celebrating the two-year anniversary of my first real book — The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint. (Yes, I did write a netball coaching manual back in the day, 😄).

🌴137. What travel teaches you about courage feat. Ryan So Fly (Weekend Rewind)

I decided to re-release this conversation because earlier this week, I joined Ryan So Fly's (https://www.youtube.com/@ryansofly) YouTube creator community (only $5/month — well worth it), and it reminded me just how brilliant this chat was. Ryan So Fly is one of my favourite travel YouTubers. He’s funny, honest, insightful, and…

🌴132. Can AI replace stakeholder engagement?

In today’s quick hit, I’m responding to a very interesting question I got from a friend-client on LinkedIn: “If AI can simulate different stakeholder perspectives, do we still need to engage them?” Here’s my take: Yes, use AI for speed, but not as a substitute for relationships. You can ask…
