Words With Oz - The Essay Question Podcast.
ENTER INTO THE INTIMACY
This week The Words With Oz Podcast welcomes JuVan Langford, co-founder of ManifestAus and TheMenTour.
We asked JuVan to join us on the show because of the meaningful and important conversation that he is having across the globe.
JuVan's specific question was:
"Masculinity and masculine traits, good or bad, have been and continue to be celebrated and rewarded. It seems that in pursuit of what is deemed to be a ‘man’, many men are suffering, falling short and worse, being labelled ‘toxic’. What can we do to find and portray the positivity of masculinity?"
JuVan and I spoke about his reasons for desired change, the deep theories he purports and what made him take the leap to move to Australia and drive this incredible movement.

THE RISKS THAT EDUCATE
This week The Words With Oz Podcast welcomes the boldly ambitious Pippa Hallas. Pippa is the CEO of Elle Bache; and most recently has become an inspiring author with the book Bold Moves, a tribute to Australia’s fiercest women.
We sought Pippa to come on the show because of the incredible generational growth of Elle Bache and her unique experience in growing her own leadership style in line with such strong family values.
Pippa’s specific question was:
“Many of us are content with letting the world change us, going with the flow of what may come…especially in situations where the results that have come before always worked so well. What power can be found in making the choice to act and change?”
Pippa and I spoke about the benefits and the hinderances of family business, of generational values; how she envisages the future being to bring the humans to the fore of the brand; the importance of the individual… and plenty more.
Enjoy the show.

THERE ARE ALWAYS OPTIONS
** This episode involves conversation around suicide and depression **
This week we welcome Zoe Marshall to the Words With Oz Podcast. Zoe is a self-confessed over sharer, mother, wife and vibrant media personality.
We asked Zoe on the show because she has experienced what it is like at the bottom, and she knows what it takes to claw back to a life she loves. 14 years ago life was incredibly different. After battling through the loss of her closest person - her mother, finding herself without employment and without much hope… Zoe had to rebuild, so she did.
We speak about the seriously hard-work Zoe has done on the inside, the comfort to be found in being vulnerable, the richness of having experienced the worst and plenty more.
Enjoy the show.

We asked Paul and Gio on the show to because of their ability to think outside the box. Their specific question:
In an industry where the norm is so heavily engrained and rarely faces rebuttal, what drove you to buck the system and what sets the two of you apart from others in that you had the stubbornness to succeed in change where others have so often failed?
Paul and Gio talk us through how they’ve created an avenue for the brands that they film about fund the series they create, an interesting and unique avenue to find a deeper pool of funds in an world where funding is not always available. We speak about their early work, where they come from, their genuine interest in humans and their inspirational love from what they do.

CALMING MY FIRE
This week the Words With Oz Podcast is proud to sit down with Kayla Banfield. Multi-Entrepreneur and founder of the incredibly successful online nutrition coaching platform - The Method, Kayla is a constant learner.
We asked Kayla on the show because of her propensity to seek the uncomfortable. For as long as we've known her Kayla has consistently pushed her capabilities and boundaries to uncover some incredible talents and meaning for her life. Not only through her own successes but in observing many of the uber-talented people in her environment Kayla has a unique view on what it takes to succeed and how different success is for everyone.
Kayla's question was:
"You’ve witnessed the standards of High-Performers. What separates their food habits from most? And what are they keys to help bring most up to their level?"
We spoke about opportunity, simplicity, understanding oneself and much, much more...

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Tom Cronin joins Oz on the Words With Oz Podcast this week. Tom is an inspired author, meditation teacher, founder of The Stillness Project and co-founder of The Portal.
Having begun his professional life with a successful career in Banking Tom, like many, found himself experiencing insomnia, anxiety & depression, addictions and panic attacks... it was then he turned to meditation.
Tom's question was:
"In this world of achievement, where we are driven to grow and develop, have no time, and are naturally drawn to compete… what are the not so obvious benefits that come from learning to stop, be still and be calm?"
We spoke about shifting gear, a balancing act for pleasure and pain as well as some of the realistic problems and solutions many busy, fast-paced professional face.

ENHANCING HUMAN EXPERIENCE
Lisa Andrews and Christina Gerakiteys are the women bringing Singularity University to Australia. Two incredibly inspiring business women in their own right, they've found a common calling in bringing exponential technologies to exponential minds.
We invited Lisa and Christina on the show to explore the rare ideas and realm surrounding forums and summits like SU. A place where the Big Dream isn't the anomaly.
Christina and Lisa's quesiton was:
In this prolonged period of peace and prosperity, technology continues to advance us at an exponential pace beyond dreams not even imagined. Do the ‘bright lights’ of technological advancement impede our ability to question if the answer is technological; or should there be a more humanistic approach?
We spoke on the resource use of technology, the next Global impact ideas, how SingularityU will impact Australia, what inspires these ladies and an endless stream of subjects all about impacting our world for the better.
Enjoy the Show.

We spoke about forging new paths, learning from mistakes, owning your own luck and the effort it takes to truly succeed in new business.
