40 - A Journey of Resilience, Creativity, and Triumph with Michele Blood

Your host, Kelley O'Hara, talks with the Transformational Leader and Author, Michele Blood. Michelle Blood's story begins on the vibrant Australian music scene, where she was a force to be reckoned with. Her life was a whirlwind of tours, performances, and the promise of international fame. She shared the stage with icons like Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders, INXS, and was on the cusp of signing with a major European record label. But life had other plans.Everything changed for Michelle when she was involved in a devastating truck accident. This moment of adversity was not just a physical battle but a pivotal point that would redefine her path. Instead of succumbing to despair, Michelle found her soul's purpose: to awaken her true self and help others alleviate their suffering.Michelle's journey took an unexpected turn when she was introduced to the concept of affirmations through Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." A particular story about a deaf boy who regained his hearing through affirmations struck a chord with her. Despite her skepticism, Michelle decided to give affirmations a try.As a singer-songwriter, Michelle had an epiphany. She realized that the repetitive nature of music could be the key to embedding affirmations deeply into the subconscious mind. She began creating positive affirmation songs, potent blends of melody and mantra, which not only facilitated her healing but also laid the foundation for a global movement.To learn more about Michele's work, click HERE and HERE.Think you'd be a great guest on the show?

Your host, Kelley O'Hara, talks with the Member of Veblen Director Programme, Callum Laing. Callum's story is one of true entrepreneurial spirit. He reminisced about his early days as a hustling young person, eager to make his mark. His first significant breakthrough came during the dot-com boom when he founded a recruitment company that connected network engineers with European telecoms. This venture catapulted him into success at a young age, but the burst of the dot-com bubble was a humbling experience that solidified his path as a lifelong entrepreneur.With a keen eye on global trends, Callum made a strategic move over 20 years ago that would shape his career. He relocated to Asia, positioning himself at the forefront of the wealth transfer from the West to the East. This decision was pivotal, as it allowed him to tap into the burgeoning economic power of the region and continue building businesses with a fresh perspective.Callum's experiences led him to identify a gap in the market: the lack of investor connection with the vast majority of the economy locked in small businesses. To address this, he and his business partner began grouping owner-operated small businesses into publicly listed companies, maintaining the founders' control. This innovative approach succeeded financially and exposed Callum to the inner workings of boardrooms.Through these observations, Callum recognized the need for more diversity and effective leadership within these spaces. This realization birthed the Veblen Director Programme, designed to empower women entrepreneurs and individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to advance their careers through board appointments.To learn more about Callum's work, click HERE and HERE.Think you'd be a great guest on the show?
