Geva Mentor is a legend of world netball. In this candid and at times wildly funny conversation, Geva talks about the routines she has in place to execute her role as a captain and a leader and the similarities and synergy she finds between the sporting field, the corporate world and the boardroom. 

Geva's yet another visualiser, a trend we've seen so much of in our conversations on Empowering Leaders - she takes us through how she engages the tool of visualisation - she's been doing it since she was a teenager - and how she manages her energy on big game days and at high-profile speaking events. Geva's got also some great advice for parents who are trying to figure out how many sports to introduce their children to and she's passionately engaged with her mission to keep more young girls in sport.

Geva Mentor: Between the international netball court and the board room

After a week of 5 minute radio and television interviews about his campaign 36 Months, celebrated radio host and comedian, Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli, sits down with Luke Darcy for an in depth interview about what really drove him to spearhead this campaign.

In this conversation, Wippa opens up about is own battle with severe mental health that gave him a crystal clear insight into the type of despair being felt by children who are struggling to find a way through.

Between his trademark banter and laughter, Wippa talks about the importance of giving those 36 months from 13 to 16 back to our children, how he can't believe his 9 year old is already talking about Snap Chat, and the alarming impact social media is having on the quallity of primary and secondary education across the country.

Wippa has challenged the Prime Minister and the opposition leader to support the campaign and to stop allowing harm to children - the same way we did with seatbelts and drink driving laws in years past.

Zoe Kalar: The social app that is free from hate, good for the planet and pays you to play

If there’s anyone who knows the devastating impact that the current cost of living crisis is having on Australians, it’s Scott Pape. As our first-ever returning guest, Scott talks to us about all things money, including how to talk to our kids when we’re struggling financially, how much money you need to be happy and much more. There is something in this chat for everyone, including the small business owners that you'll hear Scott describe as the backbone of our nation.

Scott also talks about his work as a financial counsellor for Australian's who are struggling to find a way to put a roof over their family's heads and to get healthy meals on the table. He addresses the sneaky tactics of superannuation funds and tells us what we need to do to stay in control of our own super. 

After listening to this episode, we highly recommend you go back to the first conversation with Scott, where he tells the story of his journey to become the Barefoot Investor and the enormous impact he's had on personal finance in Australia. He also covers the importance of teaching financial literacy in schools, exposing where the department of education has gotten it wrong.
