Gary Nowak is an international businessman who I have had the pleasure of not only learning from but also had Gary as a mentor for the past year. As you will hear in today’s episode, we had the pleasure of hiking the Inca trail together in Peru over new years just gone. During this trip, Gary and I formed a close bond which has continued since returning to Melbourne.

Gary is a partner at KPMG in Melbourne and has worked all over the world which he will share with us today. During his impressive career, he has formed fantastic principals and concepts that he is now helping others grow and develop with. Gary has been an outstanding mentor to me, and it would have been unfair for me not to share his wisdom with you all.

In today’s podcast, Gary will share what he feels are ways individuals can thrive in the workplace whatever their chosen career or goals might be.

Today I have the pleasure of sharing a man that everyone will be family with. The man behind Jim’s mowing. 
Jim Penman started a part-time gardening business while earning his PhD in history at Latrobe University. He launched a full-time mowing business in 1982 with a $24 investment.

He originally aimed only at taking on subcontractors, but his business grew and he gradually began to specialise in the building up and selling of lawn mowing rounds. By 1989 he franchised his business, and since then Jim’s Mowing has become the largest franchise chain in Australian and the largest and best-known lawn mowing business in the world.

Jim’s Cleaning was launched in 1994, followed by more than 50 other divisions which now operate in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom. Jim’s Group now has over 3,800 Franchisees and a turnover of approximately $500 million.

Jim says
“The key to success in franchising is an overriding concern for the welfare of franchisees, and constant improvement in customer service.”
He is still actively involved in the running of the business, is directly accessible to all his Franchisees and to any client with a serious complaint.

He is funding a research program into the epigenetics of social behaviour, a continuation of his PhD work, which he believes could help in the treatment of mental illness and addictive disorders.

His books ‘Biohistory’, Biohistory: decline of the West’, and ‘Every Customer a Fan’ are available on Amazon and from his web site www.biohistory.org.

This week I have the pleasure of teaming up with two musical geniuses in their brand new recording studio. Sam Russell and Sam Ludeman are two individuals with exceptional talent, which you will see from today’s awesome episode. Im not going to give away everything we do in today’s show, but let’s just say its one you will really enjoy.

Sam and Sam have unique stories that have lead them back to the one thing they both have in common with their names, the love of music, and working together. If they are not selling out gigs around Australia and Asia, then you can expect these two legends to be singing and recording and mastering their craft.

In this week’s podcast episode, you will hear how important it is to find your purpose, follow your dreams and live life on your own terms, as both Sam and Sam are doing this daily. After today’s episode if you would like to check out the talented duo on YouTube or their socials you can do so below:
