It’s very hard to sum up the career and life of Terry Aronson… what hasn’t this man done? Starting out in Sydney with his own highly successful construction company, Terry made the decision to go to the US to broaden his horizons. Despite his success in business, the US authorities would only issue him with a green card if he had a skill that was more unique than running a business. Luckily for Terry, he proved himself as an Olympic-standard shooter and beat the two best Olympians in the US! Having established himself in the US, Terry embarked upon an esteemed career in business, the military and not-for-profit sector, and while he was at it, he won 17 national shooting titles. It was truly inspiring to hear of his work coordinating response operations for major disasters across America, and how one of his charities revived a failing school. Terry’s sterling work led to him being assigned a tour of duty in the Pentagon for an almost-unprecedented five years. Now Terry is back home in Australia, keeping him

We’ve got a real all-rounder on the latest Arete podcast. Mark Edmonds is currently a business mentor with MRE Consulting and the part-owner of the Ocean Grove Chalet motel, with the most incredible range of senior-management experience outside of his current ventures. He’s chaired numerous boards across different sectors, he’s worked as a national sales manager, and he even landed a senior-management job because a client was so impressed with what he recommended them as a consultant. Mark keeps going back to the importance of listening. He has an interesting take on the difference between mentorship and coaching in business, and by the way, he also helped rewrite the Marine & Coastal Act for Victoria! See what we mean about him being an all-rounder? This guy is well worth listening to - you’re bound to learn something from Mark. Episode Highlights: -The different definitions of “business coach”, “mentor” and “business consultant” -Mark’s battle to uphold family values after a corporate takeover -Managem

John Perry has gone through everything you could imagine on his executive journey. He’s been a CEO in a high-pressured corporate environment and he’s built up his own SME from scratch. It was interesting to hear why he decided to start up on his own having been so successful in larger organisations. Nowadays he is Managing Director/Founder of Conquest Capital and is very keen to keep the business small and tight-knit, but he still vividly remembers the days when he had to take the reins as CEO of Macquarie Bank Retirement Villages Group Fund. With 30 years of investment-banking experience, he is an expert in raising capital for businesses looking to grow and he is also expert in advising businesses who are looking to exit. He certainly knows his way around M&A and understanding financials, but he is also refreshingly insightful about the human meaning behind the numbers. This is one not to be missed! In this episode you will learn: -How the Domesday Book influenced John -Why naming a business after yoursel

What an enthusiastic and innovative guy we have on the show this week. Mick Carter is the CEO of Beyond Clarity: a company that provides ambitious and unique technology solutions across Australia. In Mick’s words “we help the world become a bit greener and a bit safer”. Mick shared a load of interesting stories about the products he has brought to market down the years, including a concept to turn air into water! Just as interesting is Mick’s own psychological journey. He has some great tips on how to develop the right mindset to consistently push boundaries and succeed. In this episode you will learn: -The good and bad of throwing away a safe corporate job and going it alone -What motivated Mick to become a CEO -The healthy mindset for business -Some of the incredible technology Mick has worked with -Fatigue technology for driving -Emerging markets -Sustainability in Australia -How to understand how carbon emissions are affecting your business -How Mick juggles his time and headspace between so many diffe

We have quite a range of subject matter on this episode of the Arete podcast. Tony Eyres was our esteemed guest: a man just as comfortable in the boardroom as he is out on the farm. Tony is director of his own company, Rounding Up, which helps deliver growth for Australia’s food and agribusiness sector from independent farmers to big corporates. He is also a non-executive director of an Atech startup (Davron Global) and sits on a range of other boards. Tony was very insightful about the difference between exec and non-exec directorship roles, as well as the macro issues of climate change and how the agriculture industry across the world should change its stance to be more sustainable. In this episode you will learn: -How Australian agriculture is changing the way it raises funding -The science of sustainability -How Tony stepped away from CEO roles and found fulfilment elsewhere as a non-exec -The difference between and interim exec and a longer term arrangement -The market value of non-executive versu

In this episode I talk to Glenn Shepherd: a highly successful exec who tells the story of how he managed to become the top dog of a company who weren’t even advertising the role, in an industry he had no knowledge of whatsoever. Glenn is currently CEO of National 360, a fast-growing allied health services provider (formerly known as National Occupational Therapy). When Glenn started they had 60 therapists, mainly in Victoria, but now they’ve expanded across most of the country to 180+ therapists. Previously Glenn held CFO roles at Camp Australia (where he helped build up the business to be sold for $400m), Sushi Sushi and Melbourne Storm. We get a great insight into how the CFO journey prepared him to be a CEO, and how he expertly played the hidden job market to advance his career. In this episode you will learn: -How to balance operational delivery with strategic foresight -The challenges of induction programs in COVID times -How Glenn built good working relationships with people who were after his job

This week’s Arete podcast really demonstrates the value of a CEO with an open mind. The CEO in question is Leanne Williams from West Gippsland Libraries in Victoria. She tells us how she delivered growth in a sector that faces more and more competition by the day, and how COVID has proven the worth of the change in company culture she pushed to deliver. Leanne credits her resilience to her upbringing on the family farm. Despite her parents’ disapproval, Leanne was so determined to have a horse that she got one from a neighbour and arrived home with it one day… at the age of eight! Even at such a young age, Leanne took responsibility and looked after it dutifully. This ability to roll her sleeves up helped her journey through a professional life of auditing and accountancy, before eventually ending up where she is today. It was nice to talk to someone who combines great tenacity with such lateral thinking. In this episode you will learn: -How libraries have grown during COVID -The very first 24/7 library -H
