The Betterment Project

“The reef is dying!” - Mainstream media.

“The reef isn’t dead!” - Mainstream media.

Well what is it? Fortunately for us, we’re joined by Marine Biologist, Brittany Wassing, to help clear up some commonly held misconceptions among us Aussies on today’s episode of the pod.

Expect to learn:

• Are there even jobs in Marine Biology?
• Does Tourism help or harm the reef?

The title is a play on words, relax. 

But we’re kind of serious. On today’s episode of the pod we welcome back Maddi Wright to the studio to talk about the latest project, ‘Pooheads’, a graphic novel from the minds of her young boys, Carter and Marlow.

We discussed:

• Bringing an idea to life
• Getting a generation of kids into reading
• Strik...

New year’s resolutions are a bit meh, but goal setting is what it’s all about. What’s the difference you might ask..not really sure, but NY rezzo’s seem a bit cringe, and goal setting is a little more mature, so we’re running with that.

The pod is back for another year (no one asked but we delivered), and we’re kicking it off with the only goal setting framework you’ll need - backed by science.

"IMPACT" is the debut film from our guest today, Patrick ‘Paddy’ Dunne, that tells the powerful story of two skydivers, Mark ‘Lucch’ Lucchiari and Ben Lucock, and their journey to recovery after a near-fatal accident.

It highlights the importance of mental health, family, recovery, and friendship. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the power of the human spirit to overcome even the toughest of obstacles.

We were fortunate enou...

Incredibly stoked to be joined by international best selling author, Andrew Matthews, on today’s pod. Andrew has sold over 8 million copies of his insightful and uplifting books on the topics of happiness, resilience and personal growth. Andrew shared with us his journey as an author and illustrator, and how he managed to turn his passion into a career that has supported people the world over for almost 40 years. 

We talk a lot a...

We’re sorry it’s been a while between drinks, we were off exploring the world and indulging in some much needed downtime, but we’re back (somewhat on schedule), and keen as a bean to fill your earholes with our nonsensical musings. 

Case in point:

• Cam’s journey as a fledgling real estate mogul
• Japan re-cap and holiday catch-ups
• How to navigat...

We talk a lot about our favourite mental models (overarching frameworks that help one understand life) on this podcast, but we had yet to meet someone who had created their own daily model that they are now showing with the world..that is until we met Jasmine Darrah.

The “3 P’s” represents Jasmine’s vision for pursuing her philosophy, priorities and purpose each and every single day. 

We talk about:

We once again stumble our way through some thought-provoking concepts like the perceived “unfairness of life” as we unpack the article The problem isn’t that life is unfair – it’s your broken idea of fairness.

In a society where we’re so quick to share our half-baked opinion on anything and everything, we ask ourselves the question: “do you have to have an opinion on everything?”. Loved the thinking behind this one. 

We talk about:

It’s a lot easier to just say what Sam HASN’T done in business because this is a guy that’s done it all! From various tourism businesses back home in South Africa, to emigrating out to Australia flying hot air balloons, team building adventure businesses to settling on his business coaching operation, Business Maximiser Coaching.

On today’s episode, we hear about:

• How to take your business idea from...

#52- How Do You Choose Where To Live?

Believe it or not, we are still alive (sorry for the break, we were asleep). Lots has happened over the last 2 months, we’ve travelled, quit and pursued new careers, new habits and just generally trying to figure life out through the change. 

On today’s episode, we hear about:

• Cam’s trip abroad
• Which one of us became a real estate ag...

This episode was one of our favourites. We received a masterclass on breathwork by physiotherapist breathwork practitioner (and all-round kind soul), Campbell Will. Now based in Hawaii, Campbell focuses on optimal movement and respiration, emphasizing the importance of breath control in daily life. 

Through Breath Body Therapy, he teaches health practitioners and individuals how to harness the innate abilities of the body and shift...

Our landmark goal was to make it to 20 episodes, but we made it to episode 50 and to celebrate, we donned our favourite suits (only suits) and sat down to reminisce over the last 12 months of our podcasting lives. 

Hear about:

• The inception of the pod
• Our biggest takeaways and learnings
• The incredible guests that graciously gave us their time

James was looking at a secure, stable path up the corporate hierarchy in one of Australia’s largest property law firms…when he decided to throw in the towel and become his own boss and Harding Property Law was born.

In this episode, we get to hear about: 

• The mindset to make the leap from employee to employer
• James’ unique vision for property law
