An Entrepreneurs Mindset with 2x Guinness World Record Holder and Author of The Humble Hero, Liam Zollo
Liam Zollo is a former 2x Guinness World Record Holder, International Rugby league representative, and serial entrepreneur who started businesses in the fitness industry, podcasting industry, and E-commerce.
In 2017 Liam authored “The Humble Hero - A guide to self awareness”, a story of how a young man struggling in moments of loss and failure, meets unassuming heroes that teach him critical lessons to succeed in life and become a humble hero.
Liam has been knocked down more times than he can count; and while the journey hasn’t been easy, his story is filled with invaluable lessons from what he calls ‘humble heroes’ - heroes that made him strong enough to break two world records, represent an International Rugby League team, own a successful fitness coaching business and travel the world.
Join me on The Uncharted Leader this week as I talk with Liam about how to use an entrepreneurs mindset to advance despite adversity.
Liam teaches us that we can all become Humble Heroes when we take that giant leap of faith to explore ourselves as we explore life. He inspires us to have the courage to ask for help and listen to the wise counsel of the people that have walked the path before us, to live a life we can feel proud of.

Courageously Live Your Truth with Sheila V, Spiritual Teacher, Mentor and Intuition Expert
“A leader is someone who courageously lives their truth” - Sheila V
Do you wish you could access your intuition and courageously live a life of purpose? Sure you do. We may not admit it publicly to the world, but (at some level) every one of us has a desire to live a meaningful life - to have our life be meaningful, leave a legacy, have an impact and make a difference.
As for whether we are clear about it, present to it or living our life congruent with it, is an entirely different matter. So the real question here, is not whether you have one or not, it’s where do you currently see yourself?
Are you clear about your purpose? Do you reject the idea that having a life purpose even exists? Do you have a clear purpose but maybe your life is incongruent - meaning your vision, values, mission, goals, work and life are not in direct alignment with that purpose, or perhaps the results you’re producing are not congruent?
Whether you’re a believer or not, agree with me or not, there is absolutely one thing I know to be true - a saying that resonated powerfully with me after decades of addiction absorbing the Oprah Winfrey show - we all have a purpose, the question is whether you’re choosing to discover it, own it and honour it.
Join me on this weeks episode of The Uncharted Leader as I speak with Spiritual Teacher and Intuition Expert Sheila V about her journey of intelligently accessing her own intuition, overcoming perfection and the steps she took to walk away from a successful corporate career and follow her calling and purpose in life.
Sheila is the author of Brave: Courageously Live Your Truth - a comprehensive spiritual guide book for the conscious corporate leader. She holds an MBA and was a Commercial and Finance Director in the book publishing industry before courageously following her calling as psychic medium and transformational coach.
Combining spiritual wisdom with executive coaching, Sheila is a cutting-edge leader in the movement towards consciousness spirituality in the corporate arena. She’s studied with some of the world’s most renowned spiritual teachers, has featured in Thrive Global, Sydney Morning Herald, Body + Soul, CEO World Magazine, New Idea, Women’s Agenda, CFO Australia and appeared on the Australian Television show Psychic TV as a professional psychic medium.
“Learn how to listen to your intuition, follow your soul purpose and bravely live your truth”” - Sheila V

Massive Transformative Purpose with Emilie Sydney-Smith, CEO at ExO Works
While most traditional companies are trying to survive, with $3.5 trillion wasted on corporate innovation in the last decade, the Big Techs have created $7 trillion in value.
What are the more traditional companies missing? It’s called a “Massive Transformative Purpose”.
Emilie Sydney-Smith, the CEO at ExO Works, is helping large companies like Procter & Gamble, Rio Tinto, HP and BHP emulate the world’s fastest growing companies, prepare for the future and profit from 10X disruptive innovation.
Proud to be in her dream job, Emilie helps companies realise how profitable it can be to do good and turning companies from adopting purpose from a reactive position of weakness into a fundamental driver of success.
Join me on The Uncharted Leader as Emilie shares about her journey as a leader, her dream job and massive transformative purpose to help companies maximise the benefit of technology to the world through large companies.
“My purpose is to maximise the net benefit of technology to the world through large companies - Net benefit because there will always be nefarious uses and unintended consequences, so we need to proactively get as much benefit as well; Large because the improvements can be made at scale through huge distribution and partnership channels, and access to capital” - Emilie Sydney-Smith
What makes this your dream job?
Most companies attempt growth projects, training and culture change separately, but we learned those three goals only work if they are done together, reinforcing each other. It is exhilarating to see it work in practice during our 10 week sprints where we coach around 20 people to imagine how different the future will be and design initiatives that solve problems at least tenfold better than the status quo approach. In doing so, they learn to transform the business and can’t unsee how to be future-thinkers.
We inspire the people we coach within our client companies to the point that they often say it is the best experience of their working life and like getting an MBA in 10 weeks.
Most people are perplexed by why the world’s fastest growing companies are so successful or how to go about bringing in 4th Industrial Revolution processes and technologies. We make that clear, easy and fun, so that people feel like really empowered, natural innovators.
We turn the theory or “window dressing” of becoming a purpose-driven company into reality. We help companies realise how profitable it can be to do good, thereby turning the companies from adopting purpose from a reactive position of weakness into a fundamental driver of success. We have the track record to back that up.

The Progressive Law Movement with Karen Finch
Karen Finch is an inspirational powerhouse! She is an ambassador of the progressive law movement and as the Founder of a startup herself, Karen is a strong supporter of the Australian startup ecosystem.
In addition to her non-practicing lawyer role as the CEO of Legally Yours, Karen is Vice President of the Australian Legal Tech Association, Legal Tech Editor for Idea Spies, Law Reference Advisory Member at CQ University Law School and a Lead Organiser of the Silicon Beach Australia startup community.
Join me on today’s episode of The Uncharted Leader for an electrifying conversation about some of the challenges Karen faced in her own journey in law and how she decided to turn adversity into opportunity.
What is your vision and what is the problem you’re helping solve?
Lawyers traditionally charge by the hour, often presenting the bill at the conclusion of their services, or worse, sending you a ‘surprise‘ invoice you weren’t expecting because they have not been clear about their costs upfront. We believe there is a more progressive way in a world that is ever changing.
We created Legally Yours to give people access to a range of lawyers who provide agreed upfront quoting and deliver their services in a way that is convenient for their clients. Our vision is to be the number one platform for legal services, providing the community with valuable connections when they need it the most.
We also support lawyers who are delivering legal services differently.
We do this by providing education and information sessions aimed at enabling their firms to thrive; connecting them with a community of like-minded lawyers to cross-refer business and recruit curious and innovative law students, law graduates and early stage career lawyers for internships and roles; and we promote their profile and service offering so they can build trusted, long lasting relationships with clients.
Why is this so important to you?
I was a teenager when my parents lost their business and our family home. Having experienced first hand the devastation lawyers can cause to their clients from a lack of communication and poor service, I vowed to create change in industry so no client would ever suffer like my family suffered.
A leader is someone who inspires others by their actions, remains strong in the face of adversity, and is committed to leaving the world a better place after they are gone
What’s one of the biggest challenges you’ve faced and what did you learn?
The first 3 years after Legally Yours launched was tough. Trying to change the industry was way more of a challenge than I envisioned. I thought I could convince lawyers to change the way they delivered their services and how they communicated their value because of the 70-80% of business they were missing because clients were too afraid, too confused or simply didn’t know how to find a lawyer.
This was not the case! I faced rejection after rejection, predominantly from white, middle aged male partners who told me I should just give up and do something else, as they would never move away from billable hours because ‘it was too profitable and their clients loved it’.
When I asked, ``How do you know?”, their response ‘they pay my bills’ was disheartening.
I realised I needed to hold on tight to my convictions, values and passion, and even though I often felt like giving up, I knew that if I could just convince some lawyers to practice differently, I could make a huge impact on the accessibility to legal services.
What’s one of your greatest accomplishments?
Launching Legally Yours. I’m incredibly proud of the community of lawyers and legal professionals we’ve gathered across Australia to support them in their mission to deliver legal services beyond the billable hour; and the 100s of clients we’ve helped with the legal advice they needed without the shock of a massive bill and a lack of customer service.

The World is a Reflection of Your Inner World with Oriane Juncker, CEO and Founder of Spotz
Are we overlooking the number one critical element of success when creating a business?
We systematically think of business plans, operations, processes, systems, products, investors, technology, social media and marketing but we don't usually think of our inner world.
Oriane Juncker, the founder of Spotz wants to change the world to be better for Mums by giving them a voice and a platform to be empowered and independent. Her friends describe her as a super cheeky, over ambitious achiever, seeker of knowledge and truth, a loving mum to two boys with a husband who fits somewhere in between.
Oriane felt she was placed on earth to achieve something other than what society was expecting of her but without ever really knowing. For the most part, she challenged the status quo, norms, traditions, cultures, beliefs, conformism but with a feeling of guilt.
Challenging everything led Oriane to realise there is still a long way to go for evolution to take place with established norms around women’s role and she wants to accelerate that evolution by giving women more opportunities to harness their true power.
With a lot of soul searching, there are two key things Oriane is obsessed with – ‘being financially independent to be her own master’ and ‘to be of service’.
“I am fascinated with women; I think we are beautiful and have much more power than we are aware of and this is why we have been oppressed for centuries across different cultures. Despite being born in France in the 80s, I have often suffered from being a woman in a society mostly led by men”
Now living in Australia, Oriane was told, while on maternity leave, that her career was considered “in hibernation”. She’s also paid 30K less than her husband for the same role, in the same company.
In talking with women and mums around her, she realised these inequalities were accepted as a norm despite living in a developed country. She decided to channel her frustrations into something positive and created a solution called Spotz, a marketplace where mums connect with other mums while earning money on their own terms by selling their products or services.
Spotz is a purposeful platform that allows Mums to form a community, to express their needs and eventually unite behind a common cause to influence policy makers to change society to a more Mums' friendly one.
“My vision for Spotz is my life’s purpose - to empower women to find who they are, support their authenticity and their true purpose in life because if each and every one of us can achieve their purpose our world would be an incredible place to live in at every stage”
Some of the problems mums are raising include a lack of flexibility at their workplace:
83% of mothers felt there were career trade-offs when a woman becomes a mother
1 in 2 women report experiencing workplace discrimination as a result of their pregnancy
63% of Mums feel misunderstood and unsupported by society
Mothers across Australia made it clear that they feel misunderstood and unsupported by society and they are calling for change. They seek to be acknowledged and better supported for their contribution to raising the next generation. They want government and employer support to find that elusive balance between family, work and everything else.
Subscribe to The Uncharted Leader and enjoy an inspiring conversation with Oriane about her journey as an entrepreneur while juggling young children and a part-time role as a Medical Advisor with a major pharmaceutical company; and the importance of spending time to uncover who we are without expectations, the defined norms of society and our self-limiting beliefs to succeed and be an inspiring leader.
