Australian Los Angeles-based  stand-up comedian Monty Franklin is our special guest this week on Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! entrepreneurship podcast, as we deep-dive what it’s like to pursue a successful career in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles, his latest project with US comedian Rob Schneider. and performing at Sydney Opera House.

6. Saving Money.
7. Interpersonal relationships, Dating and not putting up with people’s bullshit.

Welcome to a very special collaboration episode of Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! with special guest Benny Wallington, founder of 101 Tokens, a new community of people taking back control over their alcohol consumption. Creating new drinking habits and a better all-round lifestyle.

• 5 million Australians drinking three times or more a week with 37% drinking to get drunk.
• Benny Wallington and 101 Tokens have empowered over 11,000 people in 76 countries to change their habits. 

This is a show about how to retrain your booze brain

BOOZE-FREE MAY-BE* 

I have been thinking about this a while and have decided that for the next month I am going to go alcohol-free*. I am calling it ‘Booze-Free May-Be’ and my reasons are 1 & many. 

#1. I am keen to reset my relationship with alcohol.

The Many (& side benefits to name but a few):

• Health & Wellness - I exercise a shit-ton and have in fact lost 5kg in the past 5-6 months. It makes me wonder how I'll look and feel without alcohol.
• Financial - obvs.
• Productivity - you've no doubt seen and heard me tell you what I achieve. Unbeknownst to most, I have set some hefty goals for myself over the past 4-5 months. Imagine a version of me and what I can achieve with better sleep and more energy! 

I am not posting this to impress anyone, that I think that a break from booze is special or that I am smashing a high volume of beers on a daily basis (okay that happens occasionally and definitely more-so on weekends ), however it has become all too easy for me to have a beer whenever I want and I generally have at least a couple every day.

I am in fact posting this as I want to be accountable to myself and from experience the best way to do it is to make yourself accountable to others. An entrepreneur that I interviewed once whilst studying a Masters of Entrepreneurship & Innovation**, by the name of Tom O'Toole, coined one of my favourite phrases that I've learned from someone else #DreamsWithDates. If you say it out loud, put a date/timeline on it and ensure that other people hear it, then you're accountable to them and to yourself to make it so!

I'm going to journal this for myself and record a podcast or two for the benefit of others. Let's do this!

Today’s solocast podcast comes in 3 parts:

• MARKETING FAIL: "I will give you exposure”.
• Crediting creative works - photography, videography and artwork.
• ANZAC Day. Learning about ANZAC Day as an Australian. What you can do.

"I will give you exposure”. Epic fail!

On today’s show I’m going to dive into one of the phrases I loathe most in the creative services industry and the English language "I will give you exposure”.

We cover off on the need for festivals/events, brands and anyone in the need for creative services, who might have little to no budget, to respect to time and value of creative. I also provide creatives with the top tips on how to ensure you give your time and experience value, when to say yes and when to say no to helping out people, brands or organisations who want your time for nothing.

Crediting creative works - photography, videography and artwork.

Part II of the show discusses the need for influencers, brands and anyone publishing the work of creatives, no matter what their creative skill level, to provide artistic credit for any works posted online and what it ultimately means for any photographers, videographers and others in the creative/artistic industries.

I also provide creatives with key advice and ways to ensure that you are credited for your work.

Learning about ANZAC Day as an Australian. What you can do.

The shortest part and the cherry on top of today’s show, we touch on the history of ANZAC Day, what it means to me and how you can get involved.

Bondi Beach-based street artist NOT NOT aka Cam Scott captured my attention and imagination last year with 'Digital Realities’ - his thought provoking street art series designed to have us individually to consider the impact of the behaviours and addictions that the major platforms and mobile phone technology are creating, breeding and feeding in society and our everyday lives. 

From our digital selves to clickbait compulsions, this is a fascinating exploration into the digital world and I loved having him on the show! We share our own individual techniques that we use for regular digital escape, Centre for Humane Technology’s approach to ‘“realigning technology with humanity’s best interests, the LIKE IRL project, how Cam Scott came to create his Sunnys Eyewear brand, ‘In Praise of Idleness’ and NOT NOT’s 2 key pieces of advice that he'd give to someone who has a dream, but is afraid to take that first step.

Super inspiring and fascinating chats with a highly intelligent, genuine, thoughtful and personable individual. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do!

1. Dan Wilkinson Overview/Portfolio - Who I am and what I do.
2. Client Digital Content Strategy:1st Steps. Where Do We Begin?
3. Market Research, Digital Ecosystems & Platform Mix.
4. Our Approach To Social Media: Driving Business/Brand Objectives, Designing for the User Experience.
5. Best Practice Content Execution.
6. Distribution Through Advertising.

Boom! One of THE best podcasts that I’ve ever recorded and kick-ass chats with bass player of The Delta Riggs, Michael ‘Monte’ Tramonte.

We launch The Delta Riggs brand new single ‘Fake That’ and spend most of the show wading through the making Calabrese salami, Irish whiskey, Middletons & Matthew Broderick, the best pizza in Sydney, top tips for interview techniques when chatting to musos, travelling to Italy, Jim Jefferies and Brad Pitt as the weather man and so much more.

Downright hilarious and tangent-central, just dripping with banter, THIS is the podcast that you do not want to miss! 

Wow… my mind is BLOWN! 4 years later and we hit 200 episodes of the Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet! podcast!

This week I have special guest RateBeer Craft Beer App Owner Joe Tucker on the show as they introduce their app into the Australian market launch parties in Melbourne and Sydney.

ZX Ventures, AB InBev’s global growth and innovation division, invested in RateBeer two years ago, $2M dollars in technology and the hiring of an Australian team to help drive the evolution of the global product and it is is a world site for craft beer enthusiasts and is dedicated to serving the entire craft beer community through beer education, promotion and outreach.

Essentially, Australians will be able to buy “rare and highly-rated” beers through retail partners via the website, with additional enhancements including the introduction of push notifications and a clearer rate and review system.

Australia is RateBeer’s fourth biggest market globally, which Mitchell believes makes it the perfect testing ground for the new developments. The company already has over 10,000 Australian beers logged from hundreds of breweries.

Let’s get into the show!

Have you ever desired a life of more financial freedom, pursuing a life work balance that you believe you can have and being the best person you could be for yourself and the people around you?

WICKED Entrepreneurship & Leadership Choose Day radio show recorded yesterday at The Bucketlist Bondi on Bondi Radio with my home-boys Stacy Henderson (POVAR) and Seth Lawrence (Secret Men’s Business) LIVE on Bondi Radio, whilst watching the blue green waves roll in at Bondi Beach. And I loved it so much that we decided to release it as a podcast! 

The conversation flows and as always we go on a number of tangents:

• Early in the show Stacy and I talk openly about how we’re both looking to re-position ourselves professionally, striving for more financial freedom in life, creating a career for yourself based on what you love, what you’re good at and what you want out of life.
• Seth Lawrence speaks in depth about Men’s Mental Health and his current path of "helping a lot of men (and women) in our communities understand and feel their emotions, move through and release them rather than suppression" which in his belief leads to depression, suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence etc. His training has helped him to let go of a lot of negative thoughts, beliefs and patterns that no longer serve him and it has allowed Seth to establish a deeper connection with himself and others. 
• I face a few demons of my own on the Choose Day show and share with the boys the steps I took from having no confidence as a kid to being someone that I’m proud of and I love.
• We share a few top tips for anyone craving to pursue a new career that they’re passionate about.
• Yoga, meditation and we of course wax lyrical about life in Bondi Beach.

Super chats and I hope that this radio show podcast puts a smile on your face and makes your heart soar as much as it does mine!

Boom! One of THE best podcasts that I’ve ever recorded and kick-ass chats with bass player of The Delta Riggs, Michael ‘Monte’ Tramonte.

Downright hilarious and tangent-central, just dripping with banter, THIS is the podcast that you do not want to miss! 

• Leaving a full-time job.
• Recognize when it’s not working.
• The goal: Passive income - keep your eyes on the prize
• Not being afraid to go back to full-time work for a bit.

Rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, evading crocs, playing footy & music in the Northern Territory, the Tiwi Islands and getting into the thick of Australian indigenous culture. All this & more is just some of what’s in store this week on Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet!

Australian singer/songwriter Todd Cook joins me live from Adelaide on tour to talk about the launch of ‘The Silent Boat’ EP.

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the first Australian Cricket team’s tour to England in 1868, ‘The Silent Boat’ tells the relatively untold part of Australian history.

The team, predominately made up of indigenous players from Western Victoria, displayed outstanding sportsmanship and skill, and their story is a beacon of hope in a dark page of Australian folklore.

Todd Cook’s vocals are Gomez x David Gray amplified, he wrote his wedding vows as a song, describes a “pinch me” moment whilst on tour in Belfast and we even get the ‘Silent Boat single a spin.

Marriage Equality. The answer is YES!

I don’t jump up on the soap box very often and so when I do you can rest assured that it’s subject matter that I am SUPER passionate about!

Being an ex Emirates flight attendant with LOADS of mates who are LGBTIQA, I am super passionate about the #MarriageEquality vote in Australia and want to be able to utilize my Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet weekly iTunes entrepreneurship podcast and social media presence to raise awareness for the vote and the need for Australians to take part in the upcoming Marriage Equality vote (*Editors note - I recorded this show in August 2017 before the vote. Same-Sex Marriage is now a legal right in Australia).

More than 760 million people countries around the world live in 23 countries where same-sex marriage is already a legal right. How are we not on board already?? It’s a basic human right! Fact. We were the 2nd country in the world to given women the legal right to vote (yep, New Zealand beat us again 😃). How are we so far behind now?? 

I immediately shot a text to my home-boy Craig Mack, who is a Social Media Strategist (TEDx Sydney, The Pinnacle Foundation, UTS), model with Wink Models, blogger, brand ambassador (Beyond Blue, R U OK?) and openly gay Sydney man, to join me and create an exclusive show about #MarriageEquality and the upcoming plebiscite vote to legalise gay marriage in Australia.

We discuss his childhood growing up in Coffs Harbour as the son of a drug dealer and drug addict, a hilarious and heartfelt True or False quiz about the facts of Marriage Equality, hot pink pants on a Sunday, his exploration of his own sexuality and sexual orientation, some of the wicked content we’ve seen about Marriage Equality including Tim Minchin's 'I Still Call Australia Home’ Marriage Equality plebiscite parody, to Audible's 'Listen to Love, six-part audio series that the platform partnered with The Equality Campaign to create, exploring marriage equality in Australia, LGBTQIA teen suicide prevention and MUCH much more. 

Honestly, this is one of the most, beautiful, honest and wonderful shows that I have ever had the pleasure of recording. 

I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do! 

Rad podcast chats! 

Yesterday arvo I sat down with pro surfers Taj Burrow, Jay Davies and Dino Adrian at Hotel Ravesis in Bondi Beach to introduce a brand new Western Australian beer, Honest Ale, to the East Coast of Australia. 

Honest Ale was born in the Margaret River region of Western Australia in May of 2017 and is the product of these three west oz natives in partnership with the crew at Black Brewing Co.

I actually grew up in Perth and every summer holidays we’d head down to the south coast of WA to Busselton (or Busso as the locals call it) in the Margaret River region and I have so many happy memories of that magical part of the world! 

Inspiring chats as Taj, Jay and Dino share their earliest ever childhood memories, what the Honest Ale name means and what Black Brewing Co did to bring their dreams into reality and their advice for any one of you who has a dream, but is afraid to take that first step.

Formed off the back of an ongoing relationship of mutual respect, Young Henrys took possession of a number of Jameson Irish Whiskey casks and brewed Craic & Barrel, an Irish Red Ale aged in Jameson Irish Whiskey casks last October. Following the brew, these 10 red ale soaked barrels were sent from Newtown (Sydney) across the ocean back to Midleton, Co.

I am truly inspired by independent Australian singer/songwriter and producer Hayden Calnin.
