Success Curious with Andy Reid

There are a LOT of people that are very quick to point out that Gen Alpha & the bottom end of the Millenials have got real problems when it comes to working hard to achieve success.So....I asked one of them! Ariana Djoric is a Melbourne-based influencer who appeared on reality TV last year, and you could argue that society would classify her superficially as a 'typical' Instagram-life human.But dig even a tiny bit under the surface, and what you find could not be more different. Constant & consistent pressure to earn, challenges in discovering a professional direction...but such an insane desire to want to work & create a proper family.Ariana will change your mind about what you assume of her generation, and make you realise that so many of these people have got a depth to them that is way beyond what they put out there on social media. A tremendous character with a mental amount of energy, positivity & love to give the world, & she makes me (and you hopefully) wonder how much value we're missing out on because of all these assumptions!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is a simulcast from my interview on the 'Trading Secrets' podcast with the absolutely wonderful Louise Bedford.In this conversation Louise asks me a number of things around how success is defined by us, but also for us by our environment, our circumstances & our ego.We also chat about what can be done if we find ourselves in a rough place while trying to keep everything happening in life.So grateful to be invited on, & I hope you guys enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I could listen to this guy tell stories all day. Peter Brewer is a chap with decades of experience in both business and life, and shares his experiences generously for the benefit of the communities that are lucky to have him involved.A Real Estate agent for years, Peter was always one who didn't quite fit the norm or stereotype, which was something that was realised by those around him from a young age. Never afraid to voice an opinion, the level of authenticity that he has maintained is something that few can claim.This conversation has us dipping in & out of his new book 'Running Out Of Saturdays' which is available to order now, and we dig into how Peter has perceived success over time & how it has changed from his younger days to today.A top human who sums himself up wonderfully on his website...'I'm just here to help' he says, & the world is better off for it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I love it when amazing humans are so unassuming. Angus Ferguson is an AFR Young Executive Of The Year, started a firm that he sold for $25M, became a c-suite executive for Domain, and having successfully completed a strong capital raise round has now embarked on changing the face of buying property with his new platform 'FOUNDIT'.When you listen to him you can't help but feel that this is a lad who doesn't think about how good he is, he simply keeps moving at a level that suits him & takes others along for the ride, including his better half & 2 young kids!We talk about the fear of AI, taking on huge opportunities & what it means to grow as a human & leader when charging forth to a version of success that very few get to taste.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Annabel Hay went out clubbing one night, the last thing on her mind was coming up with a groundbreaking idea.Fast forward a few years, and this insanely inspirational human (who can also make a cake it transpires) is now taking on the FMCG world with her amazing fashion product 'Clutch Glue'!Having broken a record on Australia's 'Shark Tank' for being the first pitch to secure investment from all 5 sharks, Annabel has always given herself the backing to 'belong' in any room, with anyone, and it shows in the energy she carries. Not arrogance, just an assurance that she has earned her place.What a phenomenal human. This is a chat about self-belief, focus, self-education, pressure, but above all this is about. person that simply gave herself a chance at winning in this game called life. And my word has she earned it!And in case you were wondering, here she is in Forbes ;)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When the world is in times of trouble, we should all be glad to have Jason Colbey in our lives. Chief Excitement Officer at Tapi, freelance MC & general enthusiasm machine, Jason's energy alone has garnered him so many supporters from all over Australia.We talk about why he is so incredibly passionate about his charity work with Starlight Foundation (and how it takes a particular type of human to actually go out & do), what lights him up personally, as well as taking on a challenge that I posed to him about 'relationships' at a work level.A great chat with a better human. So much to take away from this one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boston born & bred, sports-mad Nick Hutchison wasn't your typical 'book-reading type! But as is the case when we get older & money starts to take precedense, his appetite for learning how to make it took off!This appetite became an obsession, & led him to become the founder of bookthinkers.com. Our chat explored some things that neither of us expected - the role of literature in success, how it is being used in people's growth, but it's when we naturally began to talk about visualisation that this took a very interesting turn that we will explore down the track!Such an incredible conversation, this lad is a well of knowledge, and aside from that he's a top lad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
