Episode 7: Challenging our limiting beliefs in business and life
In this episode of Reframe of Mind, Louise and Andy seek advice of experts on their business journey. But make no mistake, this ISN’T an episode about business, rather challenging and overcoming the limiting beliefs that hold us back from giving our dreams a go. Professor of Entrepreneurship, Alex Maritz, from La Trobe University shares the truth about senior-preneurs and late transitions to self-employment and busts the belief that ‘old dogs can’t learn new tricks’. And Female Economy expert Jacinta Carboon, who has been instrumental in the fight for gender equality in corporate Australia for decades, tells us just how important and undervalued the female economy is.

Episode 6: Who is Nathan Parker? 2021 NSW Young Australian of the Year
NSW Young Australian of the Year, Nathan Parker dreamt of becoming a fighter pilot for the Royal Australian Air Force from the time he turned six. He was on the way to that dream when a bus accident left him severely injured resulting in the amputation of his left hand. Nathan was the first upper-limb amputee in the history of the Australian Defence Force Academy to complete his final 12 months and graduate, and has since represented Australia in sports bringing home gold at the Invictus Games. With the aid of his bionic arm, Nathan reached his goal of becoming a pilot, and now teaches others to fly as well. In this episode of Reframe of Mind, Nathan tells Louise and Andy about his 'make one consistent small choice to move forward' philosophy and takes us along his journey of recovery, from which he wants to continue to share his message of resilience and assist, encourage and inspire people everywhere to transform their toughest times into their greatest opportunities.

Get ready for your first dose of “Joe bombs”! Andy and Louise talk about their own relationship to and with different 'tribes' in relation to family and work and how they have used those affiliations to limit themselves in the past.
